Kegel Aerobics ( trains women in contracting and releasing their pelvic floor muscles to tone and strengthen them – supporting and restoring sexual function, bladder control and issues with vaginal wall collapse.
What does the app do?
The kegel aerobics app was created exclusively for women. Our app is like having your very own trainer/coach/physio-therapist to remind you when to do your Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises, how to do them, how many times a day and for how long. When strong and toned they perform as intended. However these muscles can diminish with age, pregnancy, infrequent sex, and work. Simply put if you don’t use it you will lose it. It is that simple.
Learn more about Kegel Aerobics at or search for “Kegel Aerobics” on your iPhone or Android devices.
Alright, time to forget your kegels! That’s right! Kim Vopni invites you to simply observe how your pelvic floor reacts to movement, like when standing during a subway commute or standing on a BOSU or balance ball. Practice noticing how your core engages in the various positions that naturally occur.

TRANSCRIPT
So just as an added point because I’m only available to have,
or allowed to have one minute in my videos…
When I was on the subway,
you can also just feel what happens in your body.
So forget core breathing.
Forget kegels.
Forget jellyfish, blueberries, all that kind of stuff,
and just, now just move…
And bring your attention to your pelvic floor and notice that you feel that it…ideally you feel that it comes on, it’s got you, it’s with you.
So our pelvic floor should be anticipatory.
It should be doing things without us having to think about it.
And when we can pay attention without constantly being purposeful and voluntary with our activation, it can bring attention to the fact that it is, it’s with us, it’s moving. I can feel when it contracts and contracts more on one side.
So again, just kind of play around with movement; see how your body reacts.
Sit comfortably on a chair with your knees hip distance apart. Breathe normally. On exhalation, gently squeeze and lift your pelvic floor muscles and let go quickly. Repeat the contraction and releases quickly, for the required number of repetitions, and without holding your breath. Also try to avoid squeezing your thighs, or pulling in your tummy. This will help to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
