Do U do Kegels?? Let’s talk

Question

And are squats the same thing because idk if I am doing kegels right...I feel it more in my butt lol

Answer

Squats and kegels are not the same, but some research shows squats are actually more important (when done correctly)

Answer

They’re not the same. You know when you have to pee really bad and you kinda clench your muscles to hold your bladder til you get to the bathroom? Kinda like pulling your muscles upward? Try to do that right now. 
...that’s a kegel.

Answer

If you are doing the actual kegels but only feel it in your butt, you are using the wrong muscles. Kegels aren’t the end all of pelvic floor exercises and if you do them incorrectly, best case, they are ineffective, worst case you can strain your pelvic floor worse.
I would google a “pelvic floor routine”. They have body weight exercises that will strengthen everything, so you’ll get the most bang for your exercise buck. If you are set in Kegels, I would look at a Kegelmaster 2000 (the LAMEST name I know)... it’s designed to only work if you use the correct muscles and there are difference levels of resistance. Basically weight lifting for the vag. Best $120 I ever spent.

Answer

Magamamas has a short audio, maybe 18 mins, where they take you through activating the three muscles of the pelvic floor. Super helpful. Google magamamas and then find the pelvic floor exercises clip.

Answer

squats and kegels are not the same at all.

Answer

I’ve heard that kegels can actually damage your pelvic floor. That is according to a women’s trainer

Answer

Nurse at a female continence clinic... we tell our patients a kegel is done by squeezing like you’re trying not to pass gas in a crowded room . That’s how you do them. Our starting regimen is hold for 5 seconds, relax for 10. Do 5 in a row 4 times a day.

Answer

Kegal is the muscle used to stop pee mid stream.

Answer

Thank you ladies for your response. I’ll keep practicing at this lol 
I swear I read somewhere that squats strength pelvic floor muscles
