Holding for 10 seconds and also quick holds. She said most people do them wrong, so they're ineffective. She had to teach me how to do them right. I think there are 16 muscles she's working with me on? And they ARE helping!!! I have less incontinence now than I did weeks ago. I do think squats are good, though! </p> <p>The author is a physical trainer, so....yay squats </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254340 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:54:59 +0000 getjazzy 2254340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My yoga instructor says the best way to practice a proper kegel is by squeezing and releasing your partner's .. appendage, during intercourse. As another alternative!</p> <p>I know the traditional "squeeze like you're stopping a flow of urine" most times causes tensing of everything else down there instead of concentrating on the pelvic floor lifting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254330 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:50:42 +0000 NovBaby1112 2254330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've been doing a lot of squats lately- no clue those helped do the same thing as kegels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254304 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:41:14 +0000 raintreebee 2254304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254272 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:19:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2254272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keybee: Ditto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254252 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:12:49 +0000 Keybee 2254252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do them when I read about them but then I forget. I don't do squats often, or ever, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254238 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:04:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2254238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it when I remember...

I have a friend who is obsessed with doing kegels and is so upset she can't do them properly. Maybe this would make her feel better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254221 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:54:01 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2254221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I had read the same thing while I was pregnant. I do squats with my trainer every week, so I figure that I'm covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254209 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:47:22 +0000 avivoca 2254209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Yup.</p> <p>OP: I do them when I remember...which is not very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254207 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:46:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2254207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254203 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:45:31 +0000 Anya 2254203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welp, after reading the thread title I immediately started doing some.. anyone else? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-kegels#post-2254193 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:42:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2254193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read yesterday that kegels aren't really that good for strengthening your pelvic floor and instead you should do deep squats.</p> <p>Do you do kegels? Do you think they work? </p>
