Five minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday

Key takeaways
- Frequency matters more than session length for a small muscle group.
- A daily session you actually finish is better than a long one you skip.
- Missing a day is normal. Continue the next day instead of doubling up.
The hardest part of any training plan is not the effort. It is fitting it into a day that is already full.
Why short sessions work
The pelvic floor is small and fatigues quickly. Long sessions tend to produce tension rather than control. Short, focused practice repeated daily gives the nervous system the repetition it needs.

Making it stick
Attach the session to something you already do every day. Same time, same place, same order of exercises.
Frequently asked questions
Pick up where you left off. The plan adapts to your feedback rather than punishing a gap.
More is not better here. The pelvic floor fatigues quickly and needs recovery between sessions.
