Description

Lie on your back with your knees bent. Place your hands on your thighs with your fingers pointing inward. To activate the pelvic floor muscles, contract them as if you were stopping the flow of urine. To activate the transverse abdominis, gently draw your belly button towards your spine, as if trying to put on a pair of pants that are too tight. At the same time, push with your hands against your thighs while exhaling. Release the contractions while inhaling.
