If you cooperate with levator ani's exercise, it will make Qi move up and down more, which is more conducive to the smooth flow of qi and blood in the whole body. Our seemingly insignificant anus is located in the important position of the two rings. When lifting anus, it can cooperate with breathing and regulating qi, and can lift middle qi, consolidate viscera and regulate yin and yang.
