I need to do pelvic floor exercises more often. The sneeze/cough/running/leaving it a bit long consequences are getting embarassing. I need a way to remember to do them. Anyone got a way that works?

In bed before you get up or before sleep.
a reminder in the ph to go off every hour?
I do them whenever I am on the phone... It has now just become habit - for a while I had a postit on my phone at work saying "in, out" and the joke was that I talk so fast on the phone I have to remember to breathe...if only they knew the real meaning...
Why don't you do them for 2 minutes every time you see a spunky guy? Hey, it is easy to remember ;p I seem to be doing them constantly, so I am not much good. How about when you are washing the dishes or chopping veg for dinner?
My friend has PFE written on her bathroom door so you see it every time you are on the loo!
There's always 'pelvic floor exercise' magnets at the community health centre where I go for my psych appointments, I take heaps of them and give them to my female friends haha they are good little reminders though!!
Threads like this remind me :lol:
A friend of mine had a poem about them on the back of her toilet door.
:
Pelvic Poetry
To tone those muscles down below
Remember this poem when you go
When taking a visit to the loo
This is what you should do
Take a seat and start to go
Then stop and hold in mid-flow
Repeat, three or four times or more
Think of the benefits to your pelvic floor
If your in a pregnant state
Do not think you can't relate
If we don't keep up our nagging
You may find your muscles seriously sagging
By looking after your pelvic floor
The enjoyment of sex is so much more
With those muscles nice and tight
This will add to his delight
So, don't forget to stop and start
Use your head, be really smart
Continue for life and don't forget
When your old, you won't be wet.
um.....maybe TMI.... but I also do them when DTD ...... :redface:
...DH doesn't seem to mind ;)
I had to do abdom muscle exercises and would do them in the car. Certain markers that i drove past regularly would remind me.
i read something about kegels not being the best exercises to do for the pelvic floor..... hopefully someone else has more info.
I went to a friend's house not long ago and she has post it notes near her home phone, toilet paper in the toilet and the kettle that says PELVIC FLOOR. I assume each time she see's one she remembers to do them. I had a good laugh and then promptly did some exercises!
When I go to the toilet.
I do them every time I see an advertisement for incontinence pads on tv. Which always seems to be during Masterchef.
so you can avoid your apricot undies?:
Hmm doing pfe everytime I go to the loo would be a good idea. But then I'd turn up at birth looking like the hulk down there :lol:
Lol. I'm no hulk. But weeing involves relaxing the pelvic floor, which puts me in mind of needing to strengthen it as well, so I do a few while I'm there. Not always, but often enough that it seems to do the trick.
Squats are actually better for your pelvic floor because they promote strong flexible muscles.

I do them in the shower. Standing is the hardest to do before jogging/jumping etc. I figured I'll try to do them as long as I can whilst in shower.

Damn tootin'!:
Every time I see those ads it scares me into trying to make sure I never get there.
I remember reading as a teenager that Demi Moore had a saying, "touch water" and that every time she touched water (washing her hands, pouring a drink, whatever) she did her PFEs.
I thought that was a great idea, so I do that ...
Just a reminder ladies, if you're not clenching/lifting all three sets of muscles, you're not doing it right!
I do them at traffic lights - red lights, PFE.
I don't do them on the loo as it's not good to actually stop the urine flow - you should only do that to *find* your PFM.
There are heaps of different exercises to do, ones with fitball and lift/squeeze in rapid succession as well.
Do a set of 8 every time you post on BB?
im doing them now :D
