How do you do pelvic floor exercises?
There are several ways to do Kegel exercises to exercise the muscles you use to hold or stop urine flow. They are located in the pelvic floor area and are called the PC muscles (pubococcygeus muscles) and you clench, hold, release just as if you were exercising any other muscle.
One method requires you to have a full bladder, sit on the toilet and start to urinate, then suddenly clamp down and stop the flow. Start and stop several times in a row. If you can not cut off the flow of urine, but dribble on, it is an indication that you definitely need to start regular Kegel exercises. From then on, every time you urinate start and stop all the way until the bladder is empty. This is often called "the faucet" and the control of the dribble is a good indicator of your progress.
The PC muscles are the muscles that 'lift up' an erection - and exercising them, at least for me, improved sexual performance with a harder erection and sex felt more intense.
The related links below give more information on male and female Kegel exercising. A tool or device is not necessary. Devices that are external only, are not very effective, if at all. The internal devices that women have available on the market are used differently depending on the device and the purpose. One internal device that may be helpful in exercise is called K-BALLS, see below for an example of how these internal devices are used for women:
Sitting:Sit down on a chair and insert K-BALLS into your vagina. Close your legs after the balls are comfortably in place. Use your vaginal muscles to move the balls back and forth inside your vagina. Difficulty level: easy
Standing:Stand up and spread your feet shoulder width apart. Insert K-BALLS and hold them inside your vagina as long as you can. Difficulty level: moderate
Squatting:While squatting spread your feet as far apart as is comfortable. Without using any other muscles (ie. stomach, buttocks or legs), use your vaginal muscles to hold and/or move K-BALLS inside your vagina. Do not let the K-BALLS slip out. Difficulty level: challenging
Tip: Slowly increase length of use. Start with 10 minutes and increase by 10 minute increments. Use daily. Do not wear while sleeping or for extended periods of time.
Use Of Kegel Eggs:
The use of Kegel Eggs is very helpful in strengthening one's Kegel muscles. Kegel eggs have been used by women since ancient times to build up their Kegel muscles and quite frankly to improve their orgasms. The Kegel Eggs provide feedback to a women as she can feel them moving while she does the exercises.
Generally, Kegel Eggs are small egg shaped objects, most often made out of jade with a hole drilled into the narrow end to allow a string to be attached. The string is used to retrieve the eggs once a woman has completed her exercises.
Jade Kegel Eggs can be found in different sizes and weights which can be helpful as different women have different kegel muscle strength levels and sensitivity. Sometimes one is better able to feel a larger jade Kegel Egg than a smaller one. Other times it may be easier to move a lighter jade Kegel Egg than a heavier one. One can find jade Kegel Eggs in sets of three. Each egg is a different size and weight which provides for flexiblity given one's needs.
Jade Kegel Eggs can be used while laying down or standing. Admittedly, the standing position is more challenging as one is both moving the jade Kegel Egg and keeping it inside of her. Thus, it is normally recommended that when one is just starting out, that they lay down to use their jade Kegel Eggs. As one becomes more profient they can move to the standing position.
See the links below for more medical information about Kegel exercises and How-to instructions.

How can I make my butt bigger?
Getting a bigger butt is not necessarily a good thing.
Here is advice and input: please notice these answers have no scientific evidence to support them.
- To make your butt bigger you can do lunges, squats and kickbacks.
- For the appearance of your butt, wear tight jeans that push up the butt.
- These are all myths: rubbing coco butter, powder, or cream on butt, putting toothpaste on your butt ; massaging your butt ; eating corn, meat, bananas, corn bread, carrots, spinach, pickles, or anything else; putting hot sauce on your butt or boobs; swimming in cold water or applying ice water.
- Whoever told you that eating a lot of foods will help get you thick is WRONG. Eating junk foods and candy will only help in putting on sloppy weight. It will make you FAT, NOT THICK. Remember that. The types of foods you should be eating if you're trying to gain the right weight is proteins, so make an effort to put more proteins in your diet. You can eat good carbs (like wheat bread, brown rice) and not the bad stuff (potatoes, white rice). Also, eat more calories than you normally burn and keep cardio exercise to like 2 times weekly. To gain a bigger backside, you need to lift weights. And not light weights, I'm talking about heavy. In order to make muscles grow you must lift heavy. I suggest starting with light weights at first though so you won't stress or pull a muscle. Get accustomed to light weights before working with a heavier set. If your lifting weights and you don't feel a good burn in your butt after 15 or so repetitions than it's time to use heavier weights. Also, don't be disappointed or discouraged and stop exercising if you don't see results right away because this isn't some kind of overnight miracle. This takes time and effort and in time, maybe a few months to a year or so, you'll see the results you've been looking for.
- A bigger butt can only be gained through weight training/lifting. Lifting heavier weights will shock the muscles and make them grow bigger. If you use light weights, it will only shape and tone and not make the muscles bigger. Also, after sometime you'll need to get heavier weights so that the muscles can continue to grow. If you're using the same weight your muscle will adjust to it and therefore not allowing it to grow any bigger.
- You are born with the body that you are meant to have. It's mostly genetics, so why sweat it? Besides, you don't want guys who like you just because you have nice boobs or a big butt. It may seem nice and flattering if you don't get much attention from guys, but it's not!
- Take one leg at a time and bend it and bring it into your chest. also you can extend your legs behind you. Instead of fat eat protein and eat lots of carbs. Avoid as much sugar as possible, but do not over eat!
- To give yourself a big butt, you need to build up muscle by doing squats, lunges, etc. To make your boobs and butt grow you need to gain muscle near your breasts do a lot of curl ups and exercise every day.
- Put yourself into a push up position, raise one leg towards the ceiling, and bring it back down. Switch legs every 30 times you do it, but don't do it too much because you could pull a muscle.
- Weightlifting and workouts targeted to the gluteal area will help there.
- By sitting on it all day and not exercising.
- Consume full fat milk, organic chicken, peaches, lots of water, peanuts, and peanut butter.
- Genetics are the most influential element. Exercise may help, but don't count on it. Foods won't necessarily make just your behind bigger. And becoming overweight unnecessarily is not healthy. So your best bet is to start a weight training program that includes squats, an exercise that has been show to increase the size of a bottom by increasing the muscle mass. Never start a program such as this without consulting with your doctor first and a fitness expert who can set you up on the proper diet/workout program.
How can you get a bigger butt and thighs?
There are two ways to make your thighs or any body part larger, but only one of them can be controlled, relatively speaking. The first method is to simply consume more calories than you burn. Your body will begin to store excess calories as fat and that fat will, depending on your genetics, begin to accumulate in various parts of your body, including your thighs.
The second method is to exercise your thighs. Unlike the first method, exercise allows you to target a particular body part in order to increase its size. In addition, the increased size you experience from exercise is caused by the creation of more muscle tissue, rather than fat. As your body adapts to the exercise it will begin creating new muscle fibers to help with the work. This, in turn, increases the size of the muscle. So, if you want bigger thighs, you should perform exercises that use your thigh muscles.

Should you exercise after a flu shot?
There are certain situations where it would be appropriate to get a flu shot after having had the flu. See the group of related questions below for information on these circumstances and the reasons this may be needed. The risk of problems with the flu, especially for those in high risk groups, far outweighs the very minimal risk of getting a vaccination.
If you are 100% sure from lab testing that the flu you had is the same as the vaccination, then there would be no reason to get the shot. Since the seasonal flu shots contain vaccine for three different types of flu, then the odds that you already had all three is very low. It will not hurt you to get a flu shot for the type of flu you already had, so to be on the safe side, go ahead and get the vaccination.
Can you exercise after wisdom teeth removal?
Exercise is most definitely NOT recommended on the day of removal, or even several days after removal.
One must understand that a large tooth has been ripped, yanked, pulled, possibly even drilled and sawed at in order for it to be removed. Keep in mind the several incisions to the gums, and the giant hole that gets left behind that needs to close up. Exercise will raise the heart rate and not allow blood to properly heal all the damage.
For someone who is always on the move and loves to exercise everyday, it can be hard to stay at home and rest, but rest and sleep and proper care and attention at home is NECESSARY for it to heal properly. You have to listen to your body in order to begin exercising.
For example, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed on a monday morning, and by Friday afternoon I felt personally that I could exercise. (Just no exercise that required jerking or swinging of my head, because of pressure and slight discomfort and stiffness in my jaw). BUT, I was lucky because I had minimal swelling (I didn't even look like a chipmunk like most people look like) and I happened to heal fast.
Put simply, after about a week and a half or so of healing, or when you aren't in much pain without medication; go see your doctor and ask them if it is alright to perform exercises.

Can you lose weight by farting?
If you want an answer that is actual and makes sense. Here goes.
Farting will make you lose a minuscule amount of weight.
Like.... .01 ounces.
However, this can be considered negligible.
Another reason is that weight fluctuates every time you eat, every passing minute of the day.
If you are talking in pounds and only pounds. Then, farting is too small of an amount to cause even the slightest change in weight.

How do you lose 160 pounds fast?
my personal opinion is that you dont need to lose weight nessecarily, at 16 you want to be around 160 and a little up, what you probally are mistaking for fat, is lack of muscel try doing some curl ups with a small rubber ball placed behind your back so you never touch the floor without arching your back. :)
How long after having all four wisdom teeth removed can you exercise?
The immediate risk is the matter of recovery from the sedation. This will take several hours. A 24-hour break is often advised before resuming normal activity. However, the blood has to clot and the gum has to heal, so care is needed when brushing etc for several days afterwards. If stitches have been used, then a further 7 to ten days of 'healing' will be necessary.
However, as gym sessions don't usually involve chewing, eating or jaw movements (except for boxing and martial arts, maybe!), then, with care, some moderate exercise may be taken.
Even so, it is best to consult your dentist or a medical professional, as there may be further factors that should be considered.

Is jumping on a trampoline good to lose weight?
My neighbour told me it wasnt healthy to jump on a trampoline when your prego... Im 7 months prego, and i was searching online. And some sights even said its good to use it a little bit as a exercise. But if you arent use to being on one take it slow and don't over do it...
I think making slow jumps and bouncing , not doing trick or anything like that.. I wouldn't do it my last month only because of the movement and everything being so close.. but I think if you are 5 or 6 months it should be okay.... just don't over heat yourself or do tricks, use it wisely and you will be okay....
You cant believe everything everyone says or not even the internet... Go to your doctor, and see what they say. Every prego is different and ever person is diffferent with there own capabilitys....
Just be safe use it wisely... Im no doctor, just take it up with the doc
Ideally, to reduce excess body fat one should get an all-over workout, not just try to focus on one area to reduce fat in that area. with a decent amount of strenuous exercise the body will draw on fat reserves from wherever it can, meaning from all over the body.
SO, for a 12-yr old an example would be a regular diet of all of these daily activities: walking the dog, walking a paper-route, walking or biking to school, then playing "commandos" through the neighborhood before and after dinner. A FEW HOURS EVERY DAY AT LEAST. thx
