Kegels? A Good Routine...

Curious If Anyone Has A Good Kegel Routine...some Sites Suggest 1000 A Day I Have Worked My Way Up To About 100 Every Other Day? Any Thoughts/suggestions?

I find that the most important item about kegeling is not how many kegels you perform (of course more than 50-70 is advisable), but the time/duration per kegel (i.e. seconds/kegel). At this time I am averaging about 12 sec/rep, and do about 200 kegels every other day.

I always have to laugh when I see sites recommending 1000 a day. That's way too many for any normal man to stick to. JMM recommends a really good routine, which is based on time instead of reps.

I suggest starting starting to make your reps last longer (as JMM advises), and gradually work up to 5 or so minutes 4 to 5 days a week. If you can manage that, you're pelvic floor muscles should be in great shape.
