Kegel While You Work!





This is an exercise you can do right now. While you are reading this blog contract your pelvic floor muscles and hold them for 8 counts. Do not hold your breathe! Then release and repeat 6-8 times. The pelvic floor muscles are the muscles you contract when you have to hold in your urine. These are called Kegel Exercises named after Dr. Arnold Kegel. Both men and women can benefit from performing these exercises. They can help prevent urinary incontinence, vaginal prolapse and uterine prolapse in women. For men, Kegels can help urinary incontinence and prostatitis. Try to do these easy exercises 6-10 a day. Not only will you see a difference in your urinary issues but it can also improve sexual satification.
