Thank you! Didn't know I endangered people by suggesting it to them.
I usually got bored halfway and after 3-6 breaths finished peeing normally. It was also because I've noticed that the exercise made it very hard to push out the last of urine from the bladder. Now I know it's also very unhealthy not to empty all the way.
As with any internet post about exercise, someone must eventually come along and mention the good old weighted squat. Squats are well known to strengthen pelvic floor.
My own anecdata confirms the benefits of pelvic floor exercises without any kegels, at least back when I regularly did lift weights.
But is stopping the flow of urine an apt description of the exercise? Is it a case of “do it as if you were doing that, without actually doing it while urinating?” If so, I think I’d be hard pressed to find a simpler way to describe it to any man (no idea if it applies to women as well).
Yes, and you also want to do fast and short Kegel's in different positions.
