Kegel Exercises for men include lasting longer (endurance), overcoming impotence and bladder control (e.g. after prostate surgery)

When to Kegel
Do your Kegel exercises when your pelvic floor muscles are well rested. This is usually at the outset of the day when the pelvic floor muscles are nor fatigued.

Kegels Positions
Do your Kegel exercises standing upright for maximal strength gains. Beginners may need to start lying down and progress to doing Kegels in upright positions i.e. sitting and standing.

Kegels Intensity
Do Kegel exercises with maximum effort and intensity for maximum strength benefits. Make every effort count just as you would in the gym. Do near maximal contractions for strengthening and longer holds for endurance. Pelvic floor muscle strengthening requires high load achieved by using maximum voluntary contractions. If you’re a beginner start out with the correct technique then increase your Kegel effort.

Kegel Exercise Recovery
Rest between each until recovered to allow for maximum effort.

Kegels Technique
Lower the pelvic floor muscles slowly after lifting them. Skeletal muscles strengthen most during the eccentric (lowering) part of the exercise. Beginners may find this difficult to feel at first and this skill develops with practice over time.

Kegels Frequency
Aim to do Kegel exercises at least 2 times a week to give a training effect (muscle hypertrophy) ACSM (2011) and benefits can be gained from training 3-5 days of the week.

@Michelle kenway I suffer from chronic constipation and frequent urination. It means that in cases where the symptoms of frequent urination disappear, the symptoms of frequent urination will disappear. Do I do regular pelvic-strengthening kegels or reverse kegels

[arsalanahmed]

[petemayes]

Thankyou Michelle for all your vids, you seem a lovely lady and I wish you good luck!

[kevintamaki]

Great video and very informative, thanks Michelle!

[brucegraham]

Great, great tips Michelle and as usual, well presented!! I also love the Australian accent!! Couple of questions if I may: (i) in this video you tell me standing is the optimum position, but don't mention the four point position on floor as you do in the "4 best kegels for men positions" video. I suppose optimum position depends upon kegel exercise purpose, whether for addressing bladder related issues (standing) or for performance (4 point kneel): yes/no? (ii) At the moment, I'm doing both positions each day one after the other. Would it be better if I alternate the two positions from day to day? Thanks again Michelle!
