As a beginner to Kegel Exercises you may find it difficult or even impossible to close the Kegelmaster unit using your vaginal muscles alone. If this situation occurs you should employ the technique of “Negative Resistance”. Negative resistance is a technique whereby you use your fingers to manually close the unit then assist with your fingers as you allow your vaginal muscles to resist as the unit opens. Continue to do negative resistance and shift more of the pressure from your fingers to your vaginal muscles. As the unit opens squeeze and count 1-2-3 (seconds) and then repeat. At anytime if you find the resistance is too high on a particular level you should reduce the level of resistance or employ negative resistance until you are able to complete that level using your pelvic floor and vaginal muscles alone to close the unit.
