Great Way To Remember To Do Your Kegels
We hear from women all the time, “I know I should do my pelvic floor exercises (i.e. Kegels), but I always forget.” Well, we wanted to make it easy for your to be mindful of “The Biggest Set of Muscles We Never Work Out!”, as we say - your pelvic floor.
Introducing the Total Control Widget: http://www.totalcontrolprogram.com/widget/
For those of you that are new to widgets, think about those handy icons you can open or download to your desktop that tell you the weather, the time or perhaps track the stock market.
The Total Control widget, when “hidden” looks discreetly like a line green square button. When you click on it and open the widget, you will see our Total Control gal, Tilly, standing in front of an old-fashioned elevator. Click on the elevator and you will be cued to perform 10 pelvic floor lifts, each held for 10 seconds and each followed by an extremely important 10 second rest.
The coolest feature of the widget is the customization. You can program the widget to open on your desk top up to two times a day - hence your built-in reminder to “Just Do It!”, to quote a famous sports apparel company. We recommend twice a day, say at 10 & 2 (that would be 10 a.m. & 2 p.m., unless you are a night owl).
One note, the first time you download the widget, you will be instructed to download Yahoo Widgets first. Don’t be scared, it doesn’t mean your desktop will be littered with other icons - unless you want it to. We try to bring you cool innovations, but are, of course, a non-profit, so it was more economical for us to build the widget within Yahoo Widgetland.
Please let us know your thoughts by email our Director of Marketing (and chief widget architect), Molly at molly@womenshealthfoundation.org or reply to this blog.
So, as always, stay “Fit, Sexy & In Control!”
Yours in pelvic health,
Missy
