Method

  1. Begin with several 3-second contractions and 5 seconds of rest to check your form.
  2. When that feels controlled, gradually use a gentle 5–8-second hold.
  3. Rest fully for the same length of time; do not rush the next repetition.
  4. Complete six repetitions, rest for 1–2 minutes, and add a second set only if comfortable.
  5. Return to the shorter Basic routine on days when longer holds are not controlled.

Caution

Do not hold a forceful contraction. Stop if it hurts.
