How to do the one exercise that ALL women should be doing!

It also helps men, just saying; the entire exercise in its own right is excellent - although for men to find that muscle it could cause kidney stones

Hi and thanks for your comment!
Yes you are absolutely right that it is beneficial to men too :) I explain it to men as pretending that their privates are hanging over a hot plate and that they should elevate them gently to stop being burnt at the same time as imagining that they are stopping themselves from passing wind!
Interesting that you are saying that locating the pelvic floor may cause kidney stones in men, I haven't heard of that. Do you know of a research paper that I could read regarding this?

It's not exactly that elevating it can cause kidney stones but the most common way for men to find that muscle is to well, begin urinating and then stop mid stream. Doing that several times gives you a proper feel for which muscle should be used, however doing it alot can cause kidney stones.
Kind of reminds me of the old proverb, if at first you don't succeed... You better give up or your in for a world of pain.

-- I'll see if I can find the article regarding it though and link it here in a little

(Trying to find the exact article that referenced both kidney stones and level exercises and their correlation is proving challenging)
