If there is one exercise everyone should do, it is Kegel. Kegel is a type of exercise that strengthens the pelvic muscle. As one ages, the pelvic muscle sags and weakens; thus increasing the chances of a bladder leak, aka. Dependables.

Kegel exercise was first introduced in 1948 by Dr. Arnold Kegel, a California gynecologist to aid post pregnant women in controlling incontinence. Since his original discovery, doctors have found Kegel exercise not only to benefit pregnant women in reducing their labor time but to aid others in preventing bladder leaks. Early symptoms include frequent urination and nocturia.
