PS how many have you done since opening this thread?

I set random alarms on my phone during the day, when people ask what it's for I play dumb but it's time to squeeze!

Every time I flush the loo, I exercise whilst the cistern is filling up.

Every time I needed a wee when pregnant (before getting to a bathroom!), and at the start of every feed once baby was here. Now as and when I remember.

So so many since opening and reading through some posts here!!

Do them every time you boil the kettle.

I try to do them when sitting in the car, and when doing the ironing!

I have an alarm clock radio, when it goes off in the morning, I stay in bed for a few more minutes and do this sort of hip thrusty, twerky dance type thing to the music.

I always do mine whenever i get stuck at a red light! Its a great way to pass the time concentrating on something else!

I never remember to do them! is there a reminder app? :P

set a repeat alarm on your mobile phone

I always did them while breast feeding. Easier to remember that way!

I gave an app that pings every day and reminds me to 'check my tight schedule'! I also postpone going to the loo to pee for a little while to practise in case I get stick somewhere with no loo!

Everytime you see a red light throughout your day do your exercises, so if you're sitting at traffic lights you can do them, if you see the red light on a kettle, iron or other appliance, do them then too.

I try to do them first thing in the morning as part of my routine.

Every time I put the kettle on.

Every day.

FOREVER!!!!@

I have a note on my phone in the memo page that says, "Squeeze". I look at my memos regularly throughout the day and do 10 everytime I see this.

reminder on my phone is the only way for me

As long as I'm not with senior colleagues, I do them in the lift at work for the amount of time it take to travel 17 floors!

I'm quite lazy about getting out of bed in the morning and will use any excuse not to get up until that last minute possible. I use that time to do planning for the day, lists in my head, and have added pelvic floor excercises since the birth of my second son.

This sounds a bit OCD, but I do diary reminders on my icloud calender, so when I'm at work, I see the reminder and can do my PV exercises at my desk with no knowing and it doesn't become a chore :)

Whenever I'm at traffics lights works for me!

I do them at traffic lights. It took a while to get into the habit, but now my pelvic floor has a Pavlovian response to them! It works when I'm driving or walking, although I think I may need to get back into the habit, I sneezed yesterday and the result reminded me to do more

I used to do them during adverts on tv but its been a few years since birth so now I just do them when I wash up :)

I do my pelvic floor exercises every time I hear someone talk about or I read about pelvic floor exercises! As I'm a midwife I end up doing then fairly regularly although I do need to do them more often.

Do them when you're waiting for the kettle to boil when you're making a brew!

i set an alarm on phone!
