Sex Exercises for Women
For women learning to control and strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor is an important health goal. Not just for better sex but for a lifetime of female sexual health. Strong pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are a proven means to help remedy incontinence, correct posture problems, alleviate the discomforts giving birth and maximize orgasms.
Regular exercise of the pelvic floor muscles keep a woman feeling good and feeling good about herself. Most of the exercises need no additional equipment. Maximum benefits are gained when these exercises are combined with 15 to 20 minute brisk walks and changes in nutrition.
This means that you must not only do the exercises you must include walking and nutrition changes. This can include taking additional supplements and changing your food choices.
For the best results start out with 1 or 2 sets of each exercise. Then after a couple of weeks increase to 3 and then 4. These are only guidelines. If you have any medical conditions or injuries consult with a qualified professional.
Chair Squat: Sit in a chair and scoot forward so your bottom is on the edge of the chair. WITHOUT using your arms to push off, stand up. Slowly lower yourself back down until you just barely touch the chair with your bottom, Hold for a count of 3. This is one repetition. Now repeat for 12 to 15 repetitions. Make sure you use good form and posture during the exercise. If you can’t stand up with out using your arms to push yourself up, then use them as little as possible until you can do the exercise without the push off.
Sitting in a chair for long periods of time weakens a woman’s pelvic muscles. Nowadays many jobs require sitting at a computer for long hours. You can do this exercise several times throughout the day while sitting at your desk. Also practice good posture while sitting, torso straight, shoulders back, chin up.
Full Squat: From a standing position squat down fully until your thighs are resting on your calves. Hold this position for 30 seconds then slowly rise back up. Exhale as you rise. This is one repetition. Take a breath and repeat. Do at least 1 set of 8 repetitions and work to increase your repetitions and your hold time at the bottom. You should eventually be able to remain in the bottom position for 10 minutes and longer.
Someone may tell you doing full squats like this in not good, but Joey Atlas, M.S, a certified exercise physiologist and author of The Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip & Thigh Makeover says this is one of the best exercises a woman can do. Holding at the bottom forces you to use your pelvic floor muscles to keep your balance. You may have trouble balancing at first. Try and not use your hands on the floor to hold yourself. It will get easier each time you do the exercise, so keep at it.
Bridges: Lie face down. While keeping your body rigid, lift your torso up with your arms and rest on your forearms and elbows. You should now be resting on your toes and your forearms. Make sure your body is straight, no arching or swaying your back. Try to hold to a count of 15. Then rest a minute and repeat. Gradually increase your hold time up to a minute. This is a lot harder than it sounds. When you can hold the bridge for a minute you can then add leg lifts. This means after you are in the bridge position lift one leg towards the ceiling for 10 to 15 reps then do the other leg then rest and repeat.
This exercise works your core pelvic, back and abdominal muscles better than sit-ups or crunches ever could.
Kegels: To identify the correct muscles for this exercise try to stop the flow of urine the next time you use the toilet. This is the basic move. You can also insert a finger into your vagina and try to squeeze it closed around your finger. You should feel your vagina tighten and your pelvic floor muscles move upward. Now relax and feel your vagina relax and your PFM move back to where you started. Make sure you don’t flex your buttocks or your abdomen muscles, just use your pelvic floor muscles. This may take some practice. Once you have identified the correct muscles you are ready to start your routine:
Squeeze and hold your PFM for 3 seconds then relax. Rest for 3 seconds. This is 1 rep. Repeat 10 to 15 times. After you can hold for 3 seconds increase your hold time to 4 or 5 seconds then rest for 4-5 seconds. Work your way up to 10 second holds and 10 second rests. Make sure you are breathing normally as you do the exercises.
This is just the beginning phase of Kegels. To truly benefit from this exercise some form of resistance must be used. This first phase just helps you become aware of the muscles and learn some conscious control. Doing hundreds of phase one kegels each day will not give you the benefits of you will get from doing 30 to 50 repetitions using a resistance device. The easiest to use and the most female friendly pelvic exerciser I have found is the ezCOME (easy Clinical Orgasm Muscle Exerciser) another good one is the Gyneflex.
They are well worth the small investment.

Dietary Protein and Resistance Exercise $99.95 Dietary supplement companies and the food industry spend millions to reach resistance trainers--often with exaggerated marketing messages--while health practitioners continue to counsel athletes that their interest in protein is misguided and even dangerous. There appears to be a disconnect between scientists and almost everyone else in sports nutrition. With so much conflicting information, it's difficult to know who to believe. With contributions from the world's foremost experts, Dietary Protein and Resistance Exercise delivers the uncut scientific truth about the role of dietary protein in the well-being of athletes.Updating and clarifying the issues surrounding purposeful protein intake and resistance trainers, this volume: Reviews the science-related history of protein and its consumption among strength athletes Analyzes the mechanisms behind what proteins do in muscle cells Describes protein's effect on performance, recovery, and body composition Explores various populations that actively employ resistance training and dietary protein Discusses timing, type, and safety data regarding liberal protein diets and related supplements Includes sidebars, practical examples, and case studies--translating the science into a practical understanding of various protein-related topics Separating fact from fiction and providing the hard science behind the numbers, this volume demonstrates how changes in dietary protein intake may lead to measurable improvements in body composition, energy levels, and athletic performance. |
