Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor musculature. This group of muscles become stretched and weekend during pregnancy so it is critical to strengthen these muscles before, during and after pregnancy.
So how do you perform a Kegel? Pretend you are trying to stop the flow of urine. That is a Kegel. You should not be contracting your stomach or buttocks. Only the muscles which constrict that flow.
Just like any other exercise in your pregnant exercise program, start slow and make progressions when needed. Start with 10 Kegels, 3 times a day, holding the contractiong for 3 seconds.
Kegel's are so important, the Fitness4Baby fitness professionals use them in combination with their favorite pregnancy exercises. It's amazing how many Kegels you can do during an exercise session.
