Lift your pelvic floor like you are trying to stop the flow of urine AND hold in a fart

1. Slowly lift up and pause at "floors" 1-5
2. Hold at the 5th floor for 5 seconds
3. Slowly lower to each floor (need to get to the point where your floor is completely relaxed)
4. Gently bear down for 5 seconds
5. Return to ground level 


Important tip - You should not be clenching your butt to do this. You can try performing while sitting on a chair so you can feel your pelvic floor lift away from the chair, then lower again.
