The One Type of Exercise That Boosts Erections
Hint: It’s not just cardio. This often-overlooked training can make a huge difference.
When men think about improving erections, the usual advice is to “get your heart rate up.” And it’s true, cardio is great for blood flow, and blood flow is essential for strong erections.
But it’s not the only type of exercise that matters.
In fact, there’s one form of training that often gets ignored, even though it can directly improve the way your erections work.
It’s simple, doesn’t require a gym, and you can do it without anyone knowing.
Let’s talk about pelvic floor training, and why it’s the missing piece for many men dealing with ED.
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sit at the base of your pelvis. These muscles help control bladder and bowel function, but they also play a big role in sexual performance.
When you get an erection, it’s your pelvic floor muscles that help trap blood in the penis to keep it firm. They also help with ejaculation control and sensitivity.
If those muscles are weak or underused, you may find it harder to get or maintain an erection, even if your blood flow and hormones are otherwise fine.
Why Men Often Overlook It
Pelvic floor training is often talked about in relation to women’s health, especially after childbirth. But men have pelvic floors too, and they matter just as much.
Most men don’t think about training these muscles until something goes wrong. But just like any other part of your body, your pelvic floor responds to exercise and gets stronger over time.
If you’ve been noticing changes in your erections, bladder control, or sensation, there’s a good chance your pelvic floor could use some attention.
Signs Your Pelvic Floor Might Be Weak
You rarely get morning erections anymore
You can’t stay as firm as you used to
You feel a lack of control during sex or climax
You dribble after urinating or have urgency
You sit for long hours or have a weak core
If any of these sound familiar, training your pelvic floor might help more than you think.
How to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor
The good news is, you don’t need equipment or a gym. Just a bit of focus and consistency.
Here’s a simple way to start:
Find the muscles by trying to stop a stream of urine mid-flow (just once to identify, not regularly).
Contract the muscles as if you’re gently lifting the area between your testicles and anus. Avoid squeezing your glutes or holding your breath.
Hold for 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds.
Repeat 10 times, 2 or 3 times a day.
Like any exercise, results take time. But with consistency, many men notice improved control and firmness within 6 to 8 weeks.

Does Strength Training Help Too?
Yes. Resistance training, especially using big muscle groups like your legs and back, has been shown to support testosterone production and overall circulation.
A mix of strength training, pelvic floor work, and light cardio is ideal for boosting erections and long-term health.
Final Thoughts
If you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results with ED, it might be time to look a bit deeper. The pelvic floor is a crucial but often overlooked part of your sexual health.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about training smarter.
