Stand. To engage the T Zone (pelvic floor muscles and transverse abdominis) lift your pelvic floor up the vertical line of the T as if trying to hold back from going to the bathroom. Feel waste wrapping around the front of your body, drawing your belly button into your spine. Place fingertips on the inside of hip bones and press down slightly (if you are relaxed it should feel soft). When engaging the core (lifting pelvic floor, belly button to spine), underneath your fingertips you'll feel muscles tighten a bit.
Engage core. Activate the T Zone (pelvic floor muscles and transverse abdominis).
