What is a kegel exercise counter?

A kegel exercise counter is an online tool that helps you time and count your pelvic floor muscle contractions (kegels). PelvicFit's counter provides visual and audio cues to guide you through proper squeeze and rest intervals, tracks your progress, and offers customizable routines for all experience levels.

How often should I use the kegel exercise counter?

For best results, use the kegel exercise counter 3-5 times per week. Beginners should start with 1-2 sessions per day of 5-10 minutes each. Consistency is more important than duration - regular practice with proper technique yields the best outcomes for pelvic floor strength.

How do I know if I'm doing kegel exercises correctly?

To identify your pelvic floor muscles, try to stop urination midstream (though don't regularly practice during urination). When doing kegels properly, you should feel a lifting sensation in your pelvic floor without tensing your abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. Our counter provides visual guidance and timing to help ensure proper technique.

Can men use this kegel exercise counter?

Yes, the PelvicFit kegel exercise counter is designed for all genders. Kegel exercises benefit men by improving bladder control, potentially enhancing sexual function, and supporting prostate health. The counter includes specific routines optimized for men's pelvic health needs.

What are reverse kegel exercises and why are they included?

Reverse kegels focus on relaxing and lengthening the pelvic floor muscles rather than contracting them. They complement regular kegels by preventing overly tight pelvic floor muscles, which can cause pain and dysfunction. Our counter includes both exercise types for a balanced pelvic floor training program.
