The TRUTH

• Few people enjoy having a uterus, rectum or
  bladder fall out of their pelvis on a first date
  or in Aisle 6 of Costco during a Viennese wiener
  demonstration.
• The pelvic floor, like all of our muscles,
  weakens with time. As we age, nerves die and
  along with them, the muscle fibres they supply

weak pelvic floor

• A weak pelvic floor leads to a lot of problems,
  first and foremost - stress incontinence. Stress
  meaning any physical stress placed on the abdomen
  which, in turn, creates a wee leak.
• Dr. David Frederick Hepburn has seen that
  laughing, coughing, sneezing or any of the seven
  dwarves jumping on the belly can cause a sudden
  leakage of urine if the pelvic floor has been
  sufficiently weakened.
• The pelvic floor muscles, aka pubococcygeals, are
  an oft neglected muscle group that we seldom ask
  our personal trainer to help us work out. Rarely
  do you hear Wow, Bill, great delts, pecs and
  pubos. Yet it is important for women and even
  men not to neglect this hammock-like muscle that
  holds up the undercarriage of our chassis.

Pelvic FLOOR MUSCLE

KEGELS EXERCISES

• Dr. David Frederick Hepburn states that these
  muscles (pelvic floor) are often weak and thin so
  finding them may take some getting used to.
• Exercises to strengthen these muscles are known a
  Kegel Exercises names after the doctor
  who invented them, Dr. Chuck Kegel.

KEGEL EXERCISE

• They arent an easy group of muscles to identify
  as trying to locate these in the gym mirror may
  get you five to ten. But there is an easier way
  to find these all important muscles so you can do
  your Kegels. 
• How to do kegel exercise?
• Imagine you are in the pew at Our Lady of the
  Silent Suffering and you feel an urge to pass
  wind. You dont want to be asked to leave again.
  So try to flex the muscles to suppress that event
  from happening while NOT contracting your
  buttocks or abdomen.

KEGELS BY DR. DAVID FREDERICK

• There are some excellent products now that can
  assist you in both finding and exercising these
  muscles.
• Dr. David Frederick Hepburn recommends vaginal
  cones, some are graduated weights that can be
  inserted and carted about for 15 minutes. This
  not only helps you to identify the muscles but
  also strengthens the pelvic floor. You can buy
  these at any self respecting medial
  supply store....I suggest trying Aisle 6.
