    Next time you go to the toilet, try to stop the flow of urine, or the evacuation of feces. The muscles you use to do that are the muscles in your pelvic floor. You can also pretend to do that right now.

  • Question
    Would Kegel exercises extend my time until ejaculation?
    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    Kegel exercises give you a slight amount of additional control over your pelvic muscles. But when the time comes to ejaculate, nothing can stop it. This does indeed mean you can somewhat delay your ejaculation, but not for hours. Ejaculation is the result of a complex and intricate interplay of dozens of hormones, stimulation, mindset, etc. Muscle control is just one of those factors.

  • Question
    How do I reduce the buttocks using floor exercises?
    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    It is not possible to tell your body where you want it to remove fat; for example, doing push-ups does not reduce only arm fat. If you take in more calories than you burn, the body stores this energy as fat, usually first around the abdomen, then also waist, legs, arms, neck, chin, etc. If you burn more calories, the body will convert this fat back to energy, usually from all reserves more or less simultaneously, with the abdomen coming last. So, to reduce the buttocks, do cardio, eat well, sleep well, drink lots of water, burn more calories than you take in.

    Tom De Backer

    Breathing is semi-automatic, so if we don't do it consciously, our body does it for us. Try doing Kegels to music, to the beat of Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, for example. Contract, relax, contract, relax, to the beat. Next, add in your breathing. In, contract, relax, out, contract, relax, in...

  • Question
    I have an enlarged prostate and will be using a Foley catheter for about six months prior to laser surgery on my prostate. I am 62. Will Kegels help me retrain my bladder?
    James Kidd
    Community Answer
    Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that control the bladder, potentially improving bladder control and reducing leakage. However, it's important to work with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and medical condition, which may include other strategies such as timed voiding, bladder training, or medications. Be patient with the process of retraining your bladder, as it may take time to see improvement.
