exercises at home
- Lie on your back with your legs bent. Tighten the pelvic floor muscles by closing and pulling them in. In this way you can practice the closing and supporting function of these muscles. Then relax your pelvic floor muscles. Do a set of ten exercises, at least three times a day, lying on your back, lying on your side, sitting or standing.
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands on your stomach and take a deep breath. With proper abdominal breathing, your belly rises and falls as you breathe. Then try to pull in your stomach a little each time you exhale. This is a good exercise for toning the abdominal muscles.
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your pelvis tilted toward you, keeping your buttocks on the floor. Press your lower back into the floor as hard as you can. Your navel moves toward your spine and a little higher in this exercise. Hold this position for ten seconds and repeat the exercise ten times. This is how you strengthen your abdominal muscles.
