Kegel Exercises Men

Kegel Exercises Men need to be considered an important part of your exercise regime - just as important as a bicep curls!!!

The pelvic floor muscle supports organs such as bladder and bowel - to help hold it all in place. As we get a little older though, pelvic floor muscles are neglected, become weak, and incontinence usually develops. Incontinence also results with many younger althletes. Thumping the bitumen as you run and perform other fitness activities, can put a massive strain on these muscles which can result in problems you simply do not want.



The pelvic floor muscle extends from the tailbone at the base of the spine, to the pubis bone at the front and between each of your sitting bones (side to side). So, it's a bit like a "sling" shape. You can see this shape in the diagram here - it's the red curve.

An interesting and important point to make here, is that when you contract these pelvic floor muscles, there are other core muscles that also benefit. These include the diaphragm, transversus abdominus (stomach muscle) and multifidus (either side of the lower spine. So you're also getting an excellent abdominal workout.
