Keep your legs hips width apart and gently rest your hands beside you or on your tummy.
Focus on steady breathing throughout this sequence of exercises.
To activate your pelvic floor you should try to contract your anus, vagina and urethra inward and upward.
You can imagine that you are trying to pull a zipper closed with your pelvic floor from the bottom up.
