To find your pelvic floor muscles, try to stop the flow of urine midstream. If you can feel a tightening in your pelvic area, you're doing it correctly. Once you've found your pelvic floor muscles, you can start doing Kegels. To do a Kegel, simply tighten your pelvic floor muscles for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this 10-20 times, several times a day. It's important to focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Don't tighten your abdominal, thigh, or buttock muscles.
