5 1/2 minute or more kegel routine

[rbi99]

Hi just quick questions as I'm desperately trying to get into the routine of kegeling however whenever I kegel my stomach tenses but apparently this is wrong..I can't kegel without tensing my stomach so I don't know what to do.

Also I have to hold my breath in order to locate these muscles but I assume this is wrong but I literally don't know how else to do this.

If you were taking a piss and stopped in mid flow you wouldn't tighten up your stomach muscles to do that. Same thing with kegels. Therefore, in order to figure out which muscles to use, drink a lot of water and hold it until you can't any longer. The more water in your bladder the better. Now start to take a leak, and let it flow real good - then stop it. Those muscles you just used are the same as a kegel - in fact that is what you just did!!! Feel/listen to your body. Now let the urine flow start up again and let it get going steady - now stop it again. Keep trying that. When I do a kegel I don't feel any muscle movement in my stomach area at all.

Thanks for the help but the thing is when I stop my 'piss flow' with what I can only assume is a kegel my stomach tenses regardless of whether I try not to tense it.

I've also seen people recommend to pre-exhaust your abs by doing a hard ab workout beforehand/tensing your abs for a period. This should help. Tell us how it goes.

Hello, since I'm new around here, I have a question:

How many days a week should I do my kegel and reverse kegel exercises?

I've read that its the same than going to the gym, 3 days a week, for example: Mon, Wed, Fri and weekend off.

I really want to know if I can do this exercises from Monday to Friday without a problem.

Your body will tell you if it is too tired or not. If you have a kegel routine and do X number of kegels at X amount of holding time, then you do it again the next day and the next day after that; if you can't hold the kegels as well as you had been, your muscles are too tired from overworking them. On the other hand, if your hold times are getting better, charge ahead.

Can this routine be used even with reversed kegels, or do you suggest a different routine for them?

Nice, simple, straight forward kegel routine that takes less than 10 minutes, and is progressive in nature. Just like when doing sets while lifting, you start off with less weight and more reps, and each successive set you incorporate more weight and fewer reps. The problem with most kegel routines is that they probably aren't routines. One day we do some many at this or that duration, the next day maybe something else. I like the precision of this, and naturally one could add or subtract to it. I take about a 30 second break between each set to rest and massage my pc muscle. I know if I am getting stronger simply how long I can hold the last kegel till failure. I personally take at least one full day off from this routine after each session, sometimes two days. My night time erections take a hit following these bad boys, but that tells me that I worked my pc fully.

Have updated my routine to the following:

30 one second kegels
12 five second kegels
6 ten second kegels
3 twenty second kegels
2 thirty second kegels
1 sixty second kegel (or until failure) - presently a little over five minutes.

I found this routine very easy. Does that mean my muscles are already strong? Should I keep doing it anyway for maintenance or should I make it more challenging?

Sorry for this very late reply, but I would suggest - if you haven't already - simply add some reps where you feel it might be best for you.

Thanks for the post Rbi. Do you do any reverse kegels as well?
