Kegel Question

**Small_Filters** · 02-22-2015

After many attempts to perform a proper reverse kegel, I discovered that it is more easy for me to perform a regular kegel and then pushing the PC out.
My kegels are like: Holding a kegel for 3 seconds relax and reverse kegel holding for 3 seconds. I don't know why I can't perform a reverse kegel on it's own

But I assume my technique gets the job done as well, what do you think?
At the moment I do 50 kegels + reverse per set (hold each for 3 seconds) every morning and evening.

Practice will help develop the technique.

The reps, and twice a day may be a bit much. Try starting with 50 a day (25 each), 3 times a week.

Okay! Thanks

Should the regular and reverse kegels really be done seperate, I mean does it matter?

If kegels help to do the reverse then keep doing them, but you should work on seperating them.
When you do them what position are you in, and how is your breathing?

Mostly laying on my back with my legs lifted up, i think it's a yoga position something like happy baby or similar.

Deep breaths into my belly button.

It may be easier to do rk standing or sitting, try different positions. You should also push rk on inhale, 3-5 sec, release on exhale, 3-5 sec. The abs tense so when breathing out it puts more pressure on them and makes it hard to perform/ feel.

You should look at minutemans kegel list/guide or do guide, it doesn't matter if your beginner or master theres great detail and different styles and variations.

The breathing i guess was the missing li k they are feeling way more intense! Furthermore i managed to perform 10 in a row without kegeling before. Seems like i was holding my breath or something.
Thanks for your advice!
