What is the correct way to do kegels?

Kegels have become a household name thanks to their reputation as essential exercises for improving women’s sexual health. However, there are still a lot of misconceptions and confusion about how to do kegels correctly.

Fear not, dear reader! Today, we’ll be going over everything you need to know about kegels – from what they are to why they matter and most importantly how to do them in a way that will give you maximum pelvic power.

What Are Kegels?

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or on an entirely different planet), kegels are exercises that help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play an important role in supporting our bladder, uterus, and rectum – so it goes without saying that keeping them healthy is important!

Why Should You Do Kegels?

There are plenty of benefits associated with doing kegel exercises properly:

  • Improved bladder control
  • Increased sexual pleasure
  • Prevention or treatment of urinary incontinence
  • Faster recovery after childbirth
  • Better response during sex

So if any of these reasons tickle your fancy (and come on now, who doesn’t want better orgasms?), then keep reading!

How To Tell If You’re Doing It Right

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty details on how exactly one should perform kegel exercises correctly, let’s first establish how to tell if you’re doing it right:

  1. Go pee!
  2. During urination try stopping the flow midway.
  3. If successful at halting urine flow momentarily congratulations! This means that your pelvic floor muscles successfully contracted.

And just like that – voilà – your own “biofeedback” system for proper contracting can be established! Don’t forget though; this method should only be used occasionally as constantly interrupting urine flow can lead to its own set of issues.

Kegels: A How-To Guide

Now, on to the good stuff! Here are some simple steps to ensure you’re doing kegels correctly:

  1. Find your pelvic floor muscles:

  2. Don’t know where they are? Let’s practice by inserting a finger in your vagina press as though you wanted it out again – this clenching is an approximation of what should happen during a correct contraction.

  3. Get into position:

  4. You may do kegel exercises standing, sitting or laying down positions work equally well.

  5. Contract and hold:

    • Squeeze the group of muscles that control urine flow; try holding for at least three seconds before releasing them back to starting point (base relaxation).
  6. Repeat:

    • Repeat these contractions up to ten times.What was once difficult will become muscle memory-enhance over time by holding endurance twice longer than before.
  7. In case there’s need of visual guidance; here’s!

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Just like anything else tricky in life, there’s room for error when performing these exercises regularly:

  • Only contracting one type of contraction i.e., fast vs slow twitch
  • Holding your breath while exercising
  • Tensing other surrounding muscles instead such as glutes&thighs instead

Do remember that consistency is key so maintaining a schedule with committed diligence towards practicing proper Kegeling technique produces maximal benefits- yes even maximum sexual arousal potential.
