Kegeling

Kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel
Kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel
Kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel, kegel

If I type 3 sets is it the same as doing them?

Kegeling sounds like the olympic sport where you push those little pots down the ice and sweep frantically in front of them.

It sounds like an old Norwegian custom involving singing, throwing fish, and eating krumkake. Or a really big bump on a ski slope. Or a beer measurement: "that guy can drink 15 metric kegels of beer!" Or the act of rolling around on the floor in an aimless pattern.

Sounds innocuous enough. 

Oh, but it isn't.

Supposedly, both women and men can benefit from doing kegels. They are an integral part of strengthening exercises for the core muscle group that supports the lower back. So they tell me.

That doesn't mean they are fun to do. Not as much fun as throwing fish and eating krumkake.

  1. OMG, this post is hilarious. Krumkake!! Throwing fish!

    The very word "kegel" always fills me with guilt, since I have never been as good about doing them as I told myself I'd be after I had my 2nd child. HA!

    I didn't know men were supposed to do them too!
