If your relationship needs a jolt of excitement, it\u2019s time to ditch the pricey gifts and focus on a different kind of &#8220;connection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">This year, intimate wellbeing brand INTIMINA is challenging couples to swap the sweets for a surprising workout: <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"113\">Kegel exercises.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"4\">Pelvic Floor 101: The Underrated Muscle<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Before you start, you need to know what you\u2019re training. The pelvic floor is a &#8220;hammock&#8221; of muscles that supports your vital organs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">For Women:<\/b> It supports the bladder, womb, and bowel. Life events like childbirth or aging can weaken these muscles, leading to leaks or discomfort.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">For Men:<\/b> It\u2019s just as vital! It supports the bladder and plays a starring role in <b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"82\">achieving and maintaining strong erections.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0\">&#8220;Nearly 1 in 3 women experience issues like leaking,&#8221; says Dr. Susanna Unsworth. &#8220;But these issues aren&#8217;t limited to women. For men, pelvic floor exercises can enhance erectile function, confidence, and overall wellbeing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The &#8220;Pleasure Principle&#8221;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">Why do Kegels together? Because <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"32\">strength = sensation.<\/b> Tensing the pelvic floor increases blood flow to the genital area, which heightens sensitivity for both partners. By syncing your squeezes, breathing, and eye contact, you turn a simple exercise into a powerful bonding ritual.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\">Your Couples&#8217; Kegel Starter Pack<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The best part? No gym required. You can do these anywhere.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"14\">1. The Basic Squeeze (Isolate)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Move:<\/b> Imagine you are trying to stop the flow of urine or hold back gas.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Count:<\/b> Squeeze and hold for <b data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"32\">3\u20134 seconds<\/b> (aiming for 10). Repeat 10\u201315 times.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Rule:<\/b> Don&#8217;t hold your breath! Keep your stomach and glutes relaxed.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Couples&#8217; Twist:<\/b> Make eye contact and try to hold a conversation while squeezing. The first one to laugh loses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"16\">2. The Power Play (Variety)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\">Mix long, slow holds with short, &#8220;fast-twitch&#8221; squeezes.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\">Vary your positions (sitting vs. lying down) to engage the muscles differently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"18\">3. Smart Training (For Women)<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">If you want measurable progress, a device like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/kegel-smart-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"51\">KegelSmart 2<\/b><\/a> acts as a personal coach.
