Put the ‘O’ into your orgasm

A strong pelvic floor can really improve your sex life. Why? It’s a series of muscle contractions – so the stronger your pelvic floor, the stronger those contractions will be. Mix and match these exercises and aim to build up to 50 daily contractions – try starting at 10 and add one more each day.

✱ FIND YOUR PELVIC FLOOR Imagine you’re stopping a fart and stopping a wee, and then focus on lifting these two areas up inside of you. This is your pelvic floor muscles working.

✱ VOLUME SWITCH

Breathe in and, as you exhale, start to lift up the pelvic floor. Keep lifting as you exhale, feeling the pelvic floor lift in more and get stronger towards the end of your breath, like a volume switch turning up. Aim for 10 in a row.

✱ LEG RAISE

Lie on your back. Tense your tummy muscles and slowly lift your legs up alternately towards the ceiling then slowly lower back down. Repeat.

✱ SLOW SQUEEZE

Sit, stand or lie with your knees slightly apart. Slowly tighten your pelvic floor muscles. Alternate between five slow and five fast, ideally for five minutes.
