let's talk about kegals

Mod-LadyCoconut · #1 July 17th, 2009, 01:51 PM

So I'm watching Oprah and it's one about sex and sex therapy, etc. They have a sexpert (lol or whatever they're called) on and she's explaining where the g spot is, and talking about kegals, etc.

She said that if your kegals are 'in tune' you can squeeze them in and up and in and back... and if you're really good... in and side to side.

Hmmm. I've got the in and up just fine. I am pretty sure I've got the in and back. Sides? Forget it.

Kegal exercises are a really weird exercise... it's like you're tired but not winded.

So... how 'in tune' are you? Can you do the side to side?

ha NO! i can't get the side to side haha gotta work on that
speaking of kegals, a woman in my bootcamp told me to do them when i get prego because every time she jumps now (we were doing a skipping drill) she has to pee! she said she regretted not doing them during her pregnancies.

i think i will commit to doing them when i get pregnant. i used to go to a class at the gym where the teacher would tell us to throw a kegel in now and then when it was appropriate! only when there were no guys in the class though

dont want them to feel left out!

It's your pelvic floor muscles... which are the same ones that make you able to stop your pee mid-stream. Next time you go pee squeeze to try to stop your flow and hold it for ten seconds. Once you're familiar with 'em you can just kind of squeeze and hold them whereever/whenever. haha

I did them on and off during my pregnancy. I am slightly more prone to leaking pee if I laugh or sneeze, but it's not so bad that it happens if I jump up and down

I was told at the hospital that I was a great pusher...but it took me 2 hours to pop Reid out, so I don't know about that

I can't do side to side!

Does anyone else have the feeling that if anybody on here can do side to side it'll be Angela?

When you do them do you like just do them repeatedly or do you do it and hold for as long as you can and repeat?

I can't do side to side! I always forget to do them anyways!!!!.......better get to it!

I can't do side to side. I never knew it could work that way. I did them while pregnant.

This thread just reminded me of this commercial:
YouTube - Kia Soul Hamsters Commercial-Front Back Side to Side

I always get the song stuck in my head..

Front - back- side to side - front front- back back - side to side.

ANGWife · #11 July 17th, 2009, 05:53 PM

I don't ever do them unless I have to pee.

soImarriedAnerd · #12 July 17th, 2009, 07:29 PM

nope I can't do side to side (L-R) either

I can flex more to the right if I try really hard but I can't do my left side at all. (something to work on! LOL) I can do a little front/back action though (TMI WARNING---prior to pregnancy I could do this so well that I cold almost bring myself to orgasm JUST from doing it!) LOL I got to start watching oprah again! LOL

But I have Ben-wa balls I got in Thailand for exercises (it is toaism thing for sexuality!)

Mod-LadyCoconut · #14 July 18th, 2009, 07:41 AM

Mars · #15 July 18th, 2009, 09:05 AM

Miracle · #16 July 18th, 2009, 12:19 PM

Heck NO~! I rarely do them.

*kyle* · #17 July 18th, 2009, 12:36 PM

I always have good intentions to do them, and forget. Anytime I'm reminded, I will do them. I hope I don't become incontinent after birth!

HA! I can do side to side! Watch out where you practice though, cause like Angela said you can O pretty easily just from doing side to side.

I have honestly been doing kegels since I was 11 or 12. I didn't know that was what they were then though. I thought it was just something to do or something . .

And I can O at the drop of a hat too! I'm sure you all wanted to know that.
