Kegel exercises are having a moment in the health world. You remember kegels—the exercise those sassy ladies on Sex and the City popularized where you squeeze your vaginal muscles regularly to keep it nice and tight down there for increased sexual pleasure. Well now kegels is being rebranded with a trendy new name: pelvic floor exercises. And these days, men are hopping on the kegels bandwagon for the latest thing in healthy living.
That’s right, yogis and strongmen are now claiming that keeping the pelvic floor strong is the key to overall health. One yogi explained, “What society is starting to realize now is that the pelvic floor is the foundation of good breathing and works synergistically with your diaphragm. If your pelvic floor is too tight or loose, you are not breathing as well as you possibly could.” Pelvic floor exercises also help to improve bladder function, which is very important for health and well-being. But fitness buffs caution men not to over-do it with the “‘lift it up,’ ‘squeeze it,’ and ‘flex flex flex’” exercises—a too tight or toned pelvis can cause what’s called “hypertonicity,” which can be detrimental to health.
