Question time, during my kegels 30 with 5 sec
during the last part of the 5 sec hold, my abs get some activation, like an involuntary thing, idk how to explain it better, but It's like that my abs "compansate/help" my pelvic muscles to do the last seconds of the five, which may reppresent not doing the kegel exercise correctly
What do you think?
Answer time:
The reason why your abs activated is due to your attempts to lift the pelvic floor way too excessively towards your diaphragm (base of your stomach). Standard kegels only engage pelvic floor, while the stomach remains loose and relaxed. When you use your abs to lift your pelvic up in an over intensified lift, you also engage your oblique muscles that is not necessary. It's nice to do a dual workout, but not needed.
