Pelvic Floor 101: Underrated Muscles
Before you start, you need to know what you’re training for. The pelvic floor is a “hammock” of muscles that supports vital organs.
- For women: Supports the bladder, uterus and intestines. Life events such as childbirth and aging can weaken these muscles, causing leakage and discomfort.
- For men: It’s just as important! It supports the bladder and plays a starring role. Achieve and maintain strong erections.
“Nearly one in three women experience problems such as leakage,” says Dr. Susannah Unsworth. “But these problems aren’t limited to women. For men, pelvic floor muscle exercises can improve erectile function, self-confidence, and overall health.”
“Pleasure Principle”
Why do Kegels together? because Strength = feeling. Tensioning the pelvic floor increases blood flow to the genital area, increasing sensitivity for both partners. Synchronized squeezing, breathing, and eye contact transform a simple exercise into a powerful bonding ritual.

The best part? No gym required. These can be done anywhere.
1. Basic squeeze (isolate)
- Movement: Imagine trying to stop the flow of urine or hold back gas.
- count: grasp and hold 3-4 seconds (Goal is 10). Repeat 10-15 times.
- rule: Don’t hold your breath! Relax your stomach and buttocks.
- Couple twist: Try to make eye contact and have a conversation while holding hands. The first one to laugh loses.
2. The Power Play (Variety)
- Combine slow, long holds with short “fast twitch” squeezes.
- Change your position (sitting or lying down) to train your muscles in different ways.
3. Smart training (for women)
If you want visible progress, you need a device like this: kegel smart 2 Works as a personal coach. It vibrates to let you know exactly when to push and rest, customizing your routine to your current intensity level.
