Lie on your back. Take a deep breathe. Relax your abdominal muscles as you breathe out.~2. Focus on your pelvic floor muscles. Squeeze your muscles as you are trying to stop the flow of your urine and stay contracted for 8 seconds, then relax.~3. Repeat when you feel ready. You need to repeat this 10 times.~4.
