FYI, they’re not just for postpartum recovery.
. While consistently working out these muscles—just like any other muscle in the body—is beneficial for most people, stop and check in with a health care provider if you ever experience any pain with Kegels. “Some people’s pelvic muscles are too tight or they have pelvic pain due to muscle tightness, and if they do more Kegels they will likely make their problems worse,” warns Fife. In these cases, a pelvic floor physical therapy can actually help you learn how to “un-Kegel.
If you can feel a lift of the pelvic floor muscles , you’re doing your Kegels correctly, says Fife. You should also be able to feel those same muscles completely relax, she adds. Don’t worry if you find this tricky at first—it’s all about practice.
“Eventually, you’ll be able to do your Kegel exercises while you’re working out, lifting weights, lifting your children, or doing household chores,” says Fife. The goal is that if Kegels are a priority to you for health reasons, you'll still be able to fit them in even if you have a busy schedule. The beauty of them is that you can do them anywhere, without anybody knowing—at your desk in the office, on the bus, or in the line at the supermarket.
However, doing more Kegel exercises can help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which surround the vagina—so it may feel like you have more tightness in that area. For emphasis, though, this would only be a potential effect of really doing Kegels consistently and correctly! And also, there are lots of myths about it being common for vaginas to be “too loose," especially after vaginal childbirth.
