Linda McClelland asked:


Men about to undergo prostate cancer surgery should begin a program of pelvic floor muscle exercises (also known as kegel exercises) before surgery, and continue afterwards. That’s the new recommendation from the Expert Committees on the Adult Conservative Management of Incontinence at the International Consultation on Incontinence, Paris, 2008.

This expert recommendation follows a number of research studies that have shown that the sooner men begin pelvic floor exercises after surgery, the less likely they are to experience the very common side effects of long-term incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Men who have learned and practised the correct exercise techniques prior to surgery are able to start exercises immediately after surgery, and therefore give themselves a head start in recovery.

Prostate surgery, for both benign and malignant conditions, has common side-effects of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Most patients suffer from these side-effects immediately after surgery, and whilst some experience a gradual improvement, studies show that a substantial proportion are still suffering from these distressing problems five years later. In the longer term, sufferers often resort to drugs, mechanical devices and even more surgery in their efforts to find solutions, but easy exercises immediately after surgery, and continued for the following months, are a much less expensive and damaging option.

So what is the correct technique for men wanting to exercise their pelvic floor muscles?

Identify the pelvic floor muscles:

Firstly, find the appropriate muscles around the anus and the urethra (the “tube’ that carries the urine from the bladder when passing urine).

Sit or lie down comfortably with the muscles of the thighs, bottom and stomach relaxed. Tighten the ring of muscle around the anus, but do not squeeze the “cheeks” of the backside.

To feel these muscles around the urethra, try to stop the flow of urine mid-stream, and then restart it. It is very important that this is done only in order to identify the muscles in the first place. If done frequently, this could affect the ability to pass urine.

Exercise the pelvic floor muscles:

Once the pelvic floor muscles have been located, try to exercise them:

• Tighten and pull in the muscles around the anus and urethra, lifting up the muscles inside at the same time

• Count to five, then release the muscles, and relax. There should be a definite feeling of letting go.

• Repeat this contraction for no more than 8 to 10 squeezes, resting for 10 seconds after each contraction.

• Finish with 5 to 10 short, strong squeezes in quick succession.

• Repeat the slow and quick squeezes around four to five times a day.

Whilst some men find it easy to exercise these muscles, others find it very hard to identify, isolate and contract their pelvic floor muscles without help. Professional help is available from your medical practitioner or from a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor work. Exercise programs on DVD, and exercise aids and devices can also be useful for men who prefer to exercise in privacy at home.

So if you, or someone you care about, is facing prostate surgery, follow the recommendation of the experts and make sure that pelvic floor (kegel) exercises are on the agenda. Start sooner, not later, and maximize the chance of a full recovery and a return to a high quality of life after surgery.

t, every fitness and workout center provide exercising bikes, which has wide range of designs. Exercise Bicycles are special-purpose exercise machines that look like a bicycle but are used for exercising and not transportation, so exercise bike should not be taken out on rocks or mountains. The most popular exercise bike designs that are used by people include stationary bikes, cardio bikes, recumbent bikes and spinner bikes. Different exercise bikes have various methods of resistance like magnetic, air or flywheel. Some people change their ordinary bicycle into stationary exercise bicycle by placing it on rollers or on a trainer.

Different exercise bikes

Stationary exercise bikes help in slimming down by burning extra fats during exercises. There are three styles of stationary exercise bikes that include upright, semi-recumbent, and recumbent which are available on different prices. The user can sit comfortably on these bikes while reading, watching TV or having a conversation.

The recumbent bike is designed in ergonomic way, which increases the pedaling efficiency as well as comfort for extended riding. In recumbent bikes the user can sit in a chair-shaped seat and do pedaling on the pedals out in front. These bikes help in increasing stamina and also strengthen the muscles in legs, arms and improve the overall functions of heart. The people suffering from lower back pain and joint pain can do workout on this bike easily.

As the name suggest, Cardio bikes work on the cardiovascular system of the body. One can do both hard and easy training on Cardio Bikes just with the flick of a wrist. Cardio bikes strengthen the muscles of legs; improve the core stability and increase blood flow.

Features of exercise bikes

Exercise bikes are safe as there are minimal chances of falling from it. This bike produces no stress on body parts like knees and ankles so it is really beneficial for people suffering from arthritis. If the stress is less, then the probability of sustaining an injury during workout is less.

There are Exercise bikes that are programmed according to various biking routines so now you don’t have to keep pressing the buttons to change different training level, as it will automatically switch over to the next level. Even some exercise bikes can be plugged into televisions and one can pedal while watching visual courses.

Before Buying a Bike

Before buying an exercise bike one should look out for the options depending on the needs like budget, room space and type of bike. One can check out different exercise bikes offered at discount rates on various websites. There are options of old bikes in good condition, which can be appropriate for moderate user. One should also take some suggestions from the gym trainer and friends who are already using a bike to get a good one for you.

With the inception of spinner bike people have become more curious to use the exercise bikes as it not only burns calorie but also gives you an easy option of doing intense workout.

all live in a very fast paced society Technology is continuing to make the world smaller and smaller. Gone are the days of having to search to find a pay phone to call a friend or sending letters to people. With cellular technology and email and more recently "texting" everyone you need to talk to is just a few clicks of a button away.

There is also a greater stress being put on education and sports for kids. This means that any families with kids that are involved in multiple sports teams or musical groups, dance training, etc. With all of these activities going on there is less and less time available.

Many people are looking for ways to save time each and every day. Whether it be in their commute to and from work, or in how long they spend cooking meals each day there is a true premium on time nowadays. This holds true for having time available for exercise. For many people they just do not have the time in a day to exercise or if they do its 30 minutes or less and they believe that is not enough time to get in a good workout so they skip it.

This is a problem as the percentage of people overweight and out of shape continues to grow. There is hope though. Newer methods of exercising have begun to spring up from fitness experts and trainers to keep up with the times. There are more and more techniques that allow you to target your exercises to specific goals like toning, six pack abs, weight loss, etc that are now available.

Here’s a summary of one such method:

Similar to what many people suggest with switching from 3 meals a day to 5-6 smaller ones, this method is for you to not work out 30-90 minutes several times a week, but instead to exercise for a few minutes a few times each day. This is a very different than what most people would tell you would work. The great thing about these exercises is you can do them at the office too. You will need to find an area though to do them if you don’t have a lot of space in your workspace.

Try to do your exercises for 2-3 minutes every hour or two. It will work better if you do it every hour for about 8-10 hours. These exercises do not require that you have access to weights or gym equipment. All of these types of exercise rely on just your body and body weight.

Here are a couple of exercises:

Pushups Sit-ups (crunches work best) Lunges Bicycles (lying on your back with your legs raised and pretending to ride a bike) Walking/Jogging up and down a staircase if you can

These are just examples of easy exercises you can do. There are many more and you might even invent some yourself. The goal here is to work different parts of your body throughout the day for a few minutes at a time to get your metabolism going and stimulate your body to burn fat and build muscle.

To really see if you are getting results you should stick with this method for several weeks and focus solely on this and not any other exercise programs. If you continue to go to the gym a few times a week you may not be able to gauge how successful this is.

After a few weeks feel free to go to a more traditional routine. What works very well is every month or so if you switch back to this method. This also helps to keep things fresh and prevent your workouts from getting stale.
