It’s never easy to establish a new exercise routine, even when the activity is as easy as doing Kegel exercises for women. Kegels help women prevent vaginal atrophy, female dryness, dyspareunia — all that stuff you definitely don’t want to deal with when you’re already going through menopause. Make Kegel exercises for women a daily habit by picking a certain time or daily event when you know you’ll be sitting down.

Exercise discipline
Even when the exercise in question is as easy as Kegels (which, really, you don’t even have to move to perform), it’s not easy to remember to keep up a routine unless it’s a long-established habit. Women who are trying to establish a new routine to practice their Kegel exercises may find it difficult to remember them, and writing down reminders gets a little dicey. Just imagine the conversations you might end up having with your teenage kids or grandkids when they stumble across your “don’t forget your Kegels!” note.
It’s easy to skip doing the exercises, even if they’re simple Kegel exercises. For women, exercise is something that often has to be squeezed in around the perimeter of life — it has to wait until after work, after the chores, after dinner…and soon enough the day is over and it’s still not done. But you’ve got to make Kegel exercises for women an everyday habit if you want to get the most out of them.

Kegel exercises
For women, there are few exercises better than Kegels. Performing these exercises will strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which are responsible for controlling the vagina and hold the bladder in place. Kegels are recommended to many women who have issues with urine leakage because they’re so effective at strengthening that group of muscles.
When you exercise your pelvic floor, you encourage your body’s natural lubrication — and this in turn prevents painful female dryness. Many women experience female dryness during menopause, when their hormones are shifting and changing. The dryness creates dyspareunia, painful sex, which can hamper intimacy between you and a partner and even lead to vaginal atrophy if you stop having intercourse as a result. Kegels prevent the atrophy and the dryness to help you maintain a normal, healthy and functional sex life. Now, if only you could remember to start doing them!
Establish you Kegels routine
“Years ago a friend of mine told me she could never discipline herself to do [Kegel exercises for women] until she hit on the perfect system: she does them while she waits for traffic lights.” VN member Sienna Jae Fein offered this helpful piece of advice recently. Start getting into the habit of doing your Kegels when you know you’re going to be doing nothing but sitting. No one will know if you’re doing them while you’re watching your favorite TV shows, or sitting at your desk eating lunch. Establishing a daily routine and doing Kegels every time you’re doing something else will help you remember these important exercises.
