As most athletes and athletic supporters know, being “on the road” can really impact one’s training regimen. With my 5K Mud Run only a week away, it is essential that I stay in shape. This isn’t to say I’m in good shape, but I am a shape, and it’s definitely not square.
That said, I committed myself to exercising while on the road. I bet I kegeled for a good twenty miles, which is like six times the miles I need to run, so I’m pretty proud of myself.
Kegels are pretty beneficial. They prevent tears and incontinence, which are both big deals for a 5K; especially since I’ll be wine tasting with CounterCat and Muffin the entire day prior to the run. Another benefit: you can kegel anywhere without anyone knowing. I had almost forgotten the simplicity of kegeling. Now that I’m kegeling again, I plan to do them as often as possible. Mostly because I want to have this exchange with people:
People: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Kegeling.
With all of the scandals, gossip and lies consuming our lives today, people really appreciate the truth. So, yes, I kegel and tell. I do not, however, kiss and tell. I kiss and yell.
According to my research, kegeling three times a day is recommended, as is doing them with other routine tasks such as checking email, public speaking, and blow drying your hair. I may not be able to do them with the latter, thats my squats time and I don’t think kegsquats are a good idea. Plus, it just sounds bad:
People: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Kegsquating.
