Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate instruction for a woman performing Kegel exercises during a group class format?
  1. “Contract the muscles you would normally use to stop the follow of urine”
  2. “Contract the muscles you would normally use to push out a bowel movement”
  3. “Contract the muscles you would normally use to brace if someone was going to punch you in the stomach”
  4. “Contract the muscles you would normally use to pull both knees to your chest”
Explanation
Answer: A - It is extremely difficult for women to know if they are activating the right muscles when performing Kegel exercises if instructed with generic cues like “tighten your pelvic floor.” Instead the wise Group Fitness Instructor will use cues like “contract the muscles you would normally use to stop the flow of urine.” Kegel exercises are designed to prevent or offset the urinary incontinence that can often accompany pregnancy, especially in women who have had multiple pregnancies.
