Can't I just do kegels when I'm sitting or standing? It's not like they're obvious or take much effort, and the result should be about the same, no?

I think people give the cue of stopping urination to help others find the muscles that you need to engage. Otherwise, yes, you absolutely can just do them any time you want. In yoga it’s called mula bandha [1]. You’re often instructed to engage it while practicing asana or pranayama. I even focus on engaging it when I’m out for a run or lifting weights.

Thanks, I think I'll practice whole brushing my teeth, probably the easiest to not forget to do, as it's an everyday thing that I'm unlikely to ever stop doing.
