Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Since I did the total body cleanse and began doing all that walking a month ago I have really enjoyed it. Recently, I tried running. I found that I have the stamina to keep running the way I did as a teenager (wow) - but I have a problem with my bladder. It is difficult to run while I have to hold my bladder so tight in fear of wetting myself! I'm 46 and I've had this 'muscle' problem since having three kids. What is the best way to strengthen the bladder sphincter(sp) muscle? How long will strengthening that muscle take??? A couple weeks? - a month? - 6 months??? I have no idea. Would a personal trampoline be a good idea or should I just start out running for short distances until it strengthens. Any ideas and experiences would be most appreciated. I'm kinda clueless on this one Thanks a bunch, Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same one that tightens when you orgasm is the same one that helps control your bladder. You may want to try Keigel exercises, where you just tighten and relax the muscle. These are done about 10 minutes on, 5 minutes off, for 30 minutes. Second set is to tighten and hold it for 5 minutes, then relax for 5 minutes, for 30 minutes. It helps tighten the muscle up.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Be sure you run with completely empty bladder. It helps a lot. Women hate do pee (and it is an ordeal compared to men), so we tend to hold the urine, forcing bladder sphincter. Pay attention to that. Empty your bladder, do not forget , this will make it improve a lot, even though might sound stupid. Ane* Novidade no Mail: receba alertas de novas mensagens no seu celular.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 HI Monica , do you remember Kiegel exercises? they are really good for strengthening the SP muscle..also Pilates really would help too..b/c it focuses on strength from the abdominal area( girdle of strength it is referred as) as for length till strength.. isn't that the question we all have? Depends what you put into it...keep at it Monica...we are all doing the TBC here week #2...
