Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    In this video, we discuss why some men outperform others in the bedroom, emphasizing the significance of pelvic floor muscles, which consist of 14 muscles in the pelvis that work alongside the abdominal, low back, and diaphragm muscles as a functional unit for sexual performance. We highlight the importance of understanding and exercising these pelvic muscles through Kegel exercises and discuss common misconceptions regarding their association with only female postnatal recovery. Proper isolation of these muscles is crucial to avoid compensating with the inner thighs, abdomen, or glutes that could lead to issues like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:55

    Following the Kegel exercise, diaphragmatic breathing is introduced, demonstrating its critical role in coordinating with pelvic floor function. This exercise involves placing hands on the chest and belly to promote the correct breathing pattern while relaxing the pelvic floor during inhalation. The third exercise targets the transverse abdominal muscles, reinforcing their connection to pelvic floor strength. Lastly, the Bird Dog exercise is introduced to enhance engagement of the low back multifidi muscles, completing the core's girdle and improving overall sexual performance. Consistent practice of these exercises can increase endurance and efficacy in the bedroom.

  • 00:00:00
    hey to all my men out there today we're
  • 00:00:02
    going to be tackling the subject of why
  • 00:00:04
    do some men outperform others in the
  • 00:00:06
    bedroom and perhaps you think oh it's
  • 00:00:09
    because that guy is just luckier than me
  • 00:00:11
    or that guy has some specific skill that
  • 00:00:13
    I just don't have but I'm here to tell
  • 00:00:15
    you it's neither of those things in my
  • 00:00:17
    20 plus years of treating men in this
  • 00:00:20
    exact same area I'm here to tell you
  • 00:00:22
    it's actually due to the coordination
  • 00:00:24
    and strength of a hidden group of
  • 00:00:26
    muscles located deep inside of your
  • 00:00:28
    pelvis so in this video we're going to
  • 00:00:30
    talk about the specific exercises that
  • 00:00:33
    you can do to enhance your performance
  • 00:00:35
    in the bedroom and what can happen in
  • 00:00:37
    the long-term consequences if you don't
  • 00:00:39
    so what are these hidden secret muscles
  • 00:00:42
    well they're known as your pelvic floor
  • 00:00:45
    now these muscles are a group of 14
  • 00:00:48
    muscles located deep inside of your
  • 00:00:50
    pelvis that have attachments to your
  • 00:00:52
    tailbone to your sit bones as well as
  • 00:00:54
    your pubic bone and these muscles don't
  • 00:00:57
    work by themselves you see your pelvic
  • 00:00:59
    flid is part of your core and your core
  • 00:01:02
    is actually comprised of three other
  • 00:01:05
    muscle groups your abdominal muscles
  • 00:01:08
    your low back muscles as well as your
  • 00:01:10
    diaphragm and these muscles including
  • 00:01:12
    your pelvic floor really work as a team
  • 00:01:15
    to really get the job done in terms of
  • 00:01:17
    your sexual function so we're going to
  • 00:01:19
    go through four exercises that are
  • 00:01:21
    really going to Target specifically all
  • 00:01:23
    of these muscles so that you can hit a
  • 00:01:25
    home run in the bedroom number one the
  • 00:01:27
    kull exercise now this exercise is
  • 00:01:30
    really the foundation of locating your
  • 00:01:32
    pelvic floor and really working those
  • 00:01:34
    muscles that are super important for
  • 00:01:36
    your sexual performance I know what you
  • 00:01:38
    guys might be thinking I've heard of
  • 00:01:40
    these exercises before I think it's what
  • 00:01:42
    women do after they've had a baby and
  • 00:01:43
    they're trying to get back their bladder
  • 00:01:44
    control and yeah you're right but what
  • 00:01:46
    people don't realize is that men have
  • 00:01:48
    pelvic FL too and if those pelvic Flor
  • 00:01:50
    muscles are not coordinated and strong
  • 00:01:52
    then you're going to have issues with
  • 00:01:54
    erections possible premature ejaculation
  • 00:01:56
    and also just pure power for having an
  • 00:01:59
    orgas and I also know what you might be
  • 00:02:01
    thinking hey I know how to do those
  • 00:02:02
    exercises but guess what research shows
  • 00:02:05
    that 30 to 40% of people do not do these
  • 00:02:08
    exercises correctly so let's go ahead
  • 00:02:10
    and start by lying on the ground on your
  • 00:02:12
    back with your knees bent and what I
  • 00:02:14
    want you to First do is I want you to
  • 00:02:16
    initiate is if you're going to try and
  • 00:02:18
    hold back your pee yes hold back your
  • 00:02:21
    pee and what you should feel as you're
  • 00:02:23
    trying to do this is that there is some
  • 00:02:25
    sort of sensation maybe like a pulling
  • 00:02:27
    sensation that's happening in between
  • 00:02:29
    your sit bones and you also May notice
  • 00:02:32
    that there's an elevation of your
  • 00:02:33
    testicles as you start to do this the
  • 00:02:35
    key here is that you've located the
  • 00:02:37
    pelvic Flor muscles if you can feel this
  • 00:02:39
    but what people don't do correctly and
  • 00:02:42
    this is what the research shows is they
  • 00:02:43
    end up compensating with a lot of other
  • 00:02:45
    muscles that they shouldn't be such as
  • 00:02:47
    their inner thighs their abdominal
  • 00:02:49
    muscles as well as their gluteal muscles
  • 00:02:53
    so if you're noticing while you're doing
  • 00:02:54
    this exercise that you're pulling in and
  • 00:02:56
    squeezing your inner thighs or you're
  • 00:02:58
    really Contracting those abdomin muscles
  • 00:03:00
    or the big glute muscles in the back
  • 00:03:02
    then you're probably compensating and
  • 00:03:04
    you need to really focus in on Just
  • 00:03:06
    Between the sit bones now as you do this
  • 00:03:09
    exercise you can hold it a little longer
  • 00:03:11
    you can do several repetitions of them
  • 00:03:13
    but really the key here is you want to
  • 00:03:14
    locate them and you want to know that
  • 00:03:16
    you're isolating these muscles now that
  • 00:03:18
    you've learned how to isolate and really
  • 00:03:20
    locate the pelvic floor muscles you
  • 00:03:22
    can't really coordinate them well
  • 00:03:24
    without its partner in crime which is
  • 00:03:27
    the diaphragm so exercise number two is
  • 00:03:30
    diaphragmatic breathing and what we're
  • 00:03:31
    going to see here is that diaphragm is
  • 00:03:33
    an umbrella type muscle that sits at the
  • 00:03:36
    bottom of the rib cage and it kind of is
  • 00:03:38
    a circular umbrella that attaches to the
  • 00:03:40
    spine and to the sternum in the front
  • 00:03:43
    now the reason why the diaphragm is
  • 00:03:45
    really really important is because the
  • 00:03:47
    diaphragm and the pelvic floor muscles
  • 00:03:49
    are kind of like synchronistic with each
  • 00:03:52
    other and so every single time you
  • 00:03:54
    breathe in and out the pelvic floor
  • 00:03:56
    muscles actually respond to you
  • 00:03:58
    breathing in and out so if we look at
  • 00:04:00
    this diagram and this is the diaphragm
  • 00:04:02
    this is the pelvic floor muscles every
  • 00:04:04
    single time that you breathe in your
  • 00:04:06
    pelvic floor muscles have to expand and
  • 00:04:08
    every single time you breathe out those
  • 00:04:10
    pelvic floor muscles contract back to
  • 00:04:12
    their relative resting States and the
  • 00:04:14
    reason why this is really really
  • 00:04:16
    important when it comes to sexual
  • 00:04:17
    dysfunction is that often times this
  • 00:04:20
    breathing symbiotic relationship is
  • 00:04:22
    Disturbed in people with sexual
  • 00:04:24
    performance issues and so as they're
  • 00:04:26
    breathing in their pelvic floor isn't
  • 00:04:28
    relaxing and as they're breathing out
  • 00:04:30
    their pelvic floor isn't Contracting
  • 00:04:32
    correctly so it's really really
  • 00:04:33
    important to get this relationship
  • 00:04:35
    between breathing and the pelvic floor
  • 00:04:38
    coordinated again because this is what's
  • 00:04:40
    going to prevent premature ejaculation
  • 00:04:43
    issues as well as just preventing any
  • 00:04:46
    sort of sexual erectile dysfunctions in
  • 00:04:49
    the bedroom if this is due to any type
  • 00:04:51
    of muscle imbalance so diaphragmatic
  • 00:04:53
    breathing so how are we going to
  • 00:04:54
    accomplish this I kind of like most
  • 00:04:56
    people starting on the ground with their
  • 00:04:58
    knees bent just like in the previous
  • 00:04:59
    position I'd like you to place one hand
  • 00:05:01
    on your chest one hand on your belly and
  • 00:05:04
    in this exercise we're simply just going
  • 00:05:06
    to breathe in trying to relax the hand
  • 00:05:09
    that is on your chest and you're really
  • 00:05:10
    just trying to elevate your hand with
  • 00:05:13
    the breath that you are taking in so
  • 00:05:15
    what you should feel is that as you
  • 00:05:17
    breathe in your hand actually elevates
  • 00:05:20
    up towards the ceiling as you breathe
  • 00:05:21
    out your hand kind of flattens down
  • 00:05:23
    towards the ground all the while keeping
  • 00:05:25
    your chest quiet now as you breathe in I
  • 00:05:28
    also want you to think relaxing the
  • 00:05:31
    pelvic floor as if you're just going to
  • 00:05:33
    initiate peeing and then as you breathe
  • 00:05:35
    out and that stomach flattens you should
  • 00:05:37
    notice that your pelvic floor goes back
  • 00:05:40
    to a resting state so this way as you
  • 00:05:42
    breathe in your pelvic floor is
  • 00:05:44
    expanding and as you breathe out the
  • 00:05:46
    pelvic floor is going back to its
  • 00:05:47
    resting state I want you to try maybe 10
  • 00:05:49
    of these and go ahead and get that
  • 00:05:52
    coordination happening again now in the
  • 00:05:54
    next exercise we're going to talk about
  • 00:05:56
    the third really important player to
  • 00:05:58
    really get that powerful erection and
  • 00:06:01
    strength for performance in the bedroom
  • 00:06:03
    so the third muscle that is super
  • 00:06:06
    important is the transverse abdominal
  • 00:06:09
    muscles now you have four muscle layers
  • 00:06:12
    in your abdomen you've got your rectus
  • 00:06:14
    your obliques and the deepest layer
  • 00:06:16
    which is the next exercise we're going
  • 00:06:17
    to work on which is called your
  • 00:06:18
    transverse abdominis now the reason why
  • 00:06:20
    this is really really important is
  • 00:06:22
    because a lot of us know that the core
  • 00:06:24
    is really the heart of where a lot of
  • 00:06:27
    stability comes in not only for like
  • 00:06:29
    your back and your hips but also for
  • 00:06:31
    your sexual performance the reason why
  • 00:06:34
    is because the pelvic floor muscles that
  • 00:06:35
    we talked about in the first exercise
  • 00:06:37
    with the keigle are actually indirectly
  • 00:06:40
    connected to these transverse abdominal
  • 00:06:42
    muscles and as you get that pelvic floor
  • 00:06:45
    stronger your transverse abdominal
  • 00:06:46
    muscles are kind of like the power punch
  • 00:06:48
    to really improve that overall strength
  • 00:06:51
    in your core which is then going toan
  • 00:06:53
    performance in the bedroom so the next
  • 00:06:55
    exercise number three is the transverse
  • 00:06:58
    abdominal muscle so with this exercise
  • 00:07:00
    again we're going to be back on our
  • 00:07:01
    backs we're going to go ahead and bend
  • 00:07:02
    our knees and what I want you to do is
  • 00:07:05
    take a breath in just like you did in
  • 00:07:07
    the previous exercise with the
  • 00:07:08
    diaphragmatic breathing and as you
  • 00:07:10
    slowly and the key here is slowly
  • 00:07:12
    breathe out I want you to make
  • 00:07:15
    a sound over like 6 to 10 seconds and as
  • 00:07:19
    you make that s sound as you're
  • 00:07:21
    breathing out I want you to imagine that
  • 00:07:24
    between your pelvic bones which are the
  • 00:07:27
    bones that are located right in the
  • 00:07:29
    front front of your pelvis that they're
  • 00:07:31
    slowly kind of coming together towards
  • 00:07:34
    the midline if you make that s sound and
  • 00:07:36
    you do this slowly you'll notice that
  • 00:07:38
    there is almost like a flattening effect
  • 00:07:40
    deep down in your abdomen and as you are
  • 00:07:43
    doing this s sound towards the end of
  • 00:07:45
    your exhalation you should also notice
  • 00:07:47
    that there's a pull on your pelvic floor
  • 00:07:49
    so this is where you're going to notice
  • 00:07:51
    that connection between the pelvic floor
  • 00:07:52
    and the transverse abdominis and the
  • 00:07:54
    great thing about this is when you start
  • 00:07:56
    to do these exercises together along
  • 00:07:58
    with the breathing exercise that I
  • 00:08:00
    taught you previously then you're going
  • 00:08:01
    to start noticing this connection
  • 00:08:03
    between those deep pelvic floor muscles
  • 00:08:05
    the abdominal muscles and your breathing
  • 00:08:07
    which is just going to make that
  • 00:08:09
    contraction and erection even more
  • 00:08:12
    powerful and strong and as you work on
  • 00:08:15
    these muscles you're going to start
  • 00:08:16
    building up some endurance but now we're
  • 00:08:18
    going to go to the next fourth muscle
  • 00:08:20
    which is the low back muscles which are
  • 00:08:23
    called your multifidi muscles these are
  • 00:08:25
    super super important because this is
  • 00:08:27
    going to be the fourth muscle that is is
  • 00:08:29
    just going to complete the picture and
  • 00:08:31
    create a nice kind of like a girdle from
  • 00:08:34
    the front of the abdomen and all the way
  • 00:08:36
    to the back and the reason why that's
  • 00:08:38
    important cuz it's kind of like the tire
  • 00:08:40
    of the coret where it ties everything
  • 00:08:42
    together in the back it pulls on your
  • 00:08:43
    pelvic floor creating a better stronger
  • 00:08:46
    core as well as again you got it better
  • 00:08:49
    performance in the bedroom and better
  • 00:08:51
    endurance so with this exercise the
  • 00:08:53
    fourth exercise is going to be the bird
  • 00:08:55
    dog in my experience of 20 years working
  • 00:08:58
    as a pelvic floor physical therapist
  • 00:09:00
    most people do this exercise incorrectly
  • 00:09:02
    so let's get doing this correct we're
  • 00:09:04
    going to be in a tabletop position go
  • 00:09:06
    ahead and place your hands underneath
  • 00:09:08
    your shoulders shoulder width apart your
  • 00:09:10
    knees are underneath your hips hip width
  • 00:09:13
    apart and we're going to find your
  • 00:09:15
    spinal neutral with this exercise you're
  • 00:09:17
    going to go ahead and arch your back and
  • 00:09:19
    then you're going to flatten into a
  • 00:09:22
    reverse arched back and then you're
  • 00:09:23
    going to find the middle of those two we
  • 00:09:26
    want to keep your spine very very
  • 00:09:28
    neutral when you do this EX exercise now
  • 00:09:30
    as you breathe in and you breathe out
  • 00:09:32
    we're going to want to connect to those
  • 00:09:34
    transverse abdominal muscles you'll
  • 00:09:36
    probably feel your pelvic floor muscles
  • 00:09:38
    kicking in as well once you have maybe a
  • 00:09:40
    30% connection I want you to go ahead
  • 00:09:43
    and lift your right arm up and forward
  • 00:09:46
    in front of you maintaining that spinal
  • 00:09:49
    neutral and not losing it and then once
  • 00:09:51
    you have that balance go ahead and lift
  • 00:09:53
    the opposite leg behind you keeping a
  • 00:09:56
    nice straight line between your arm your
  • 00:09:58
    back and your leg hold that for a couple
  • 00:10:00
    of seconds go ahead and bring it slowly
