What will happen if you're contracting the wrong muscle while doing kegel exercise?

Nothing bad: You just won't be strengthening the muscles around your urethra and vaginal opening. When doing kegels you want to tighten the muscles that stop the flow of urine, known as the pelvic floor muscles. You can find directions on how to locate these muscles and how to do the exercises at http://familydoctor.Org/familydoctor/en/diseases-conditions/urinary-incontinence.Printerview.All.Html.

Kegels: I you are contracting the wrong muscles , ie, not the pelvic floor, then you won't be training and strengthening the correct muscles.
