Pelvic Floor Muscles in Men
The male pelvic floor muscles sit at the base of the pelvis. These pelvic floor muscles consist of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. The fast and slow twitch fibers both play a role in sexual function (e.g. lasting longer) and bladder control to stop bladder leakage.
Fast Kegel Exercises for Men
Fast twitch muscle fibers in the male pelvic floor contract quickly providing strength and power. These fast twitch muscle fibres play a role in sexual function and bladder control (e.g. leakage with cough or sneeze).
The correct technique for fast Kegel exercises for men involves contracting the pelvic floor muscles with a quick, strong (near maximal intensity) one second Kegel exercise. Completely relax the pelvic floor muscles before doing the next fast Kegel exercise.
The correct Kegel exercise technique involves the penis retracting (moving inwards towards the body) and lifting slightly. When the pelvic floor muscles relax the penis returns back to its resting position.
Slow Kegel Exercises for men
Training the slow twitch muscle fibers increases the endurance of your pelvic floor muscles so they can work longer. These slow twitch muscle fibers help men last longer and play a role in bladder control.
The correct technique for slow Kegel exercises for men involves shortening the penis and stopping the flow of urine before relaxing the pelvic floor muscles back to resting. Slow Kegel exercises involve contracting the pelvic floor muscles for up to 10 seconds at a time. These are submaximal intensity pelvic floor exercises.
How Many Kegel Exercises for Men
Fast Kegel Exercises
1 second muscle contraction and relaxation
10 reps
6 times a day
Maximum intensity
Slow Kegel Exercises
slow long 10 second muscle contraction and relaxation
10 reps
6 times a day

Total Daily Kegel Exercises

60 short fast exercises (1 second holds)

Hello, thank you for the information and excercises, I have been follwing your long hold drills every day for months and now will include the latest ones. Interesting idea re: fast twitch muscle fiber!
How about peyronies disease, any drills you would recommend.
Thank you
Demonstration is better...I find this video good for classroom...not for eager persons wishing to practice right away
Practiced the excercise for about 4 weeks now but negative results up to now Will continue doing them. Cheers!!!
If you have negative result you should immediately stop doing them. Read my comment above.

Is it possible you can make a real time kegel workout video exercise longer that 10 secs hold for E.D.
I have been doing these exercise for the past 4 weeks and i have seen improvement in my ED.
Thank You
Is it possible to overtrain the pelvic floor? Not injure during the exercises but actually increase the strength and bulk to a point where it causes issues?
Thank you.
Отлично! Но такой график трудно держать просто потому, что будешь забывать делать упражнения вовремя. И также забывать, сколько сегодня уже сделал.
Muuuuuyyyyy bueno.Gracias..!!!!
Ça parle beaucoup vraiment
How much time would you suggest between the sets of 10? Would you not recommend days off for regeneration? In a classical muscle training, you'd just leave a gap of a minute or so to be able to exhaust the muscles properly. However, my pelvic floor muscles don't seem to be exhausted even after 60 kegels in a row.
Oh my dear you are my favourite one love you love yours videos
@allaboutagriculturezaratke6675 Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Your feedback means a lot to me, and I appreciate your encouragement. Keep up the great work with your exercises, take care!🙏

During the slow kegels how much do I need to rest after 1 rep?
Thankyou, for me at 77 years. The big trick is knowing where the toilets are time wise. And the greatest embarrassment is the tiny trickle after I think no more will come out. 120 exercises a day hopefully will help,
Little tip. After peeing, press with two fingers the area directly behind your scrotum. You will push the pee tube and the remaining pee will go out.
I have 5 fused vertebrate in the neck and 3 in the lumbar. So what can you show me that I could do that would not put stress on those two parts of the body?
Thank you. Please show real demo.
Thank you, good presentation, adult approach, cartoon like graphics tend to trivialise in my opinion.
Hi please , how many times a week.
Thanks
Is there a possibility that one should stop kegel "for a period of time?" Or in what cases should it be stopped temporarily, and when can it be continued?
Do you have problems with doing number 2's
Good mam thank u
@Lala Aasanda my pleasure indeed
@@michellephysio mam aap k personal no WhatsApp karna plz I w8 I m from India
Hello mam how r u
Came here for my friend julius. Thanks mam I will reccomend
Welcome 😊
Excelente Dra. Sirven las compresas calientes?
Teacher, how many times do you practice a day and how many sets do you do each time?
Please clarify by putting a video during the explanation
Hi Michelle, Do kegel help with dribbling after using the bathroom? I notice that i am dribbling right after i finish using the bathroom. It never happen before after my injuries. I injured/strained my pelvic floor muscle while working out ( kettlebell swing). My doctor think that i could've pulled a muscle on the pelvic floor. could that even possible to strained a muscle on pelvic floor while working out?
I do notice for trying to a very strong contraction for 10 seconds, eventually the muscles weaken and the contraction is lost without needing to relax.
I'm a grower, so I'm having issues trying retracting on my own recall it does it by itself... not sure what to do. For me it was experience and now that I'm getting older I want to maintain my retention or make it better. What can I do?
Thank you for your videos, they are very interesting. I am in a wheelchair and I invite you to make a video on how to do the exercises for disabled people in a wheelchair. Greetings and thank you
Thank you for this rich and informatibe video ..
Usualy in 40s men , how much time to get noticeable results ?
@drpedontist469 glad to help! Time to see results varies depending on the pre existing strength/endurance and commitment to exercises. Some men will start to notice changes after a few weeks but for really weak muscles this can take a number of months. All the best!
Hi. Does this excercise helps in controlling the bowel pressure, if it is out of control.
Guys the best way to feel exactly what she trying to explain where you should feel the muscles engage and relax. All you have to do is do it like your holding a shit in. Its that simple and I'm sure you all had to hold a shit in at some stage of your life same as holding a piss in just combine the 2 together. Contract slowly and more importantly release slowly. tight pelvic floor muscles will cause more problems than before also
What problems it will cause?
What if the pelvic muscle don’t relax and subconsciously tighten themselves.. I suppose a release or is this also a form of weak pelvic floor muscles ?
Hello Michelle how are you doing ? I am practicing what you said, if I mastrubate I am getting pain. Some time my pelvic muscles are twitching as if up and down automatically. Is it good and I am doing correctly as you instructed.
Hello Michelle. Thank you. Is it normal for one testicle to rise notability while the other one barely rises? Thanks a lot
When i do die 1 sec or the 10 sec hold it feels exactly the same is this normal?
How about doing more than 10 reps in the fast exercise? Is it advisable to do more than 10 reps?
Hello,
Regarding the amount of kegels to do in a day: If you consider one set to be 1x10 fast kegels + 1x10 slow kegels, and you want to do 6 of those sets in a day. How long should you wait in between each set?
30-60s
is it ok if i squeeze for 30s end rest for 10s ?
🙏❤
Well since you have been such a wonderful help for me I shall pass on your name to the people I know who have the equipment to do the exercises 😂 especially the one that asked me if it was true if girls pee when they laugh❤🎉❤ i told him some do. I have thought of my approach I think I will write and say do some boys pee when they laugh if they do they should check out strength and endurance exercises and mention how much they would benefit in multiple areas of their lives I wonder if they would get the ramifications 😮 I don’t think they are clueless.🤞🍀🤞well I will fine tune the recommendations 😅❤🎉❤👋👵🏻👍
@linda gates glad I’ve been able to help you, all the best!
How do I contact you for necessity please
Good info but didn't understand
I think a cartoon demonstrates will help. Thanks
Do kegel exercises get affect by kidney stones? G
Hi Michelle, I am a little bit confused for the slow exercice : I suppose we must start to contract at the end of the exhal, when the diaphragm is in dome shape ? No importance ? Many Thanks
The diaphragm full of air works in opposite way of your pelvic floor muscles when contracted. If you inhale and then contract down there it'll be more difficult to do the exercises (not impossible, but unwanted)
@@rafaelrp07 Many Thanks.
feels good to do the exercises and look at the doctor
wtf bro
que te pasa brother?
Do these exercises have damage to the prostate and thank you for the nice information you are really beautiful my question is because
@goodmorning7807 these exercises will not damage the prostate, relax the muscles in between exercises and they are safe for most men. Thank you for commenting!
