How can men do Kegel exercises
The best way to locate the right muscle is during urination. When urinating, try to stop or slow down the flow of urine half way through urination.
If you are able to slow or stop the flow of urine, you’ve successfully located these muscles
The procedure for Kegel in men is simple and can be performed by anybody irrespective of age, it includes the following:
Contract the muscles for five seconds, counting slowly, then, release the muscles for another five seconds then repeat as many times as you want. Be sure to do at least 10 sets of Kegel, three times a day
At first, it is easier and better to do Kegel exercises while lying down, to avoid the effect of gravitational force on the muscles, and to contract the muscles for just two or three seconds at first, and gradually increase the length of contraction as time goes by After a few weeks, increase the duration of contraction eventually you’re contracting the muscles for a slow five or 10 seconds, and doing the exercises standing up. This puts more weight on the muscles, boosting your workout and improving your muscle tone
