Morphology
pubococcygeus + exercise
This is a straightforward noun phrase meaning 'exercises for the pubococcygeus muscle.' If a learner knows the anatomical term 'pubococcygeus' and the word 'exercises', the overall meaning is directly derivable; the item is simply a target + activity construction, though the anatomical term is specialized and may be unknown to many B1 learners.
Etymology
Pubococcygeus exercises are simple moves for the pubococcygeus muscle, a band that runs from the pubic bone to the tailbone and works like a small 'hammock' under the bladder and other organs. By tightening that 'hammock' with short squeezes, people can improve 'bladder control' and pelvic health, so the name shows what the exercises do.
