Have you found that despite your efforts to contract your pelvic floor muscles during Perifit training, the character on-screen doesn't seem to move as expected? It can be frustrating when you're putting in the effort but not seeing the desired response from the character.
Cause
This issue can occur due to various reasons:
Sometimes, the probe may have shifted inside your body, causing the sensors to be in a different position than during calibration.
Additionally, if your contraction is too light, it can also lead to the character's unresponsiveness.
Also, if you're using the wrong muscles to contract, the character won’t react. Remember, the character gets moved by the superficial sensor (pelvic contractions), not by the deep sensor (abdominal pressure).
Solution
Don't worry; there are steps you can take to address this issue and ensure that your training sessions are effective:
Readjust the position of the probe to ensure the sensors are in the right position. If you have a Perifit Care+, use the silicone ring provided with it to ensure the probe stays in place, or contact us so we can send you one.
Recalibrate. Pelvic muscles fatigue quickly, which is why we recommend recalibrating regularly throughout your session so that the games remain doable and adapted to your strength of the moment.
Take the time to focus on performing good quality Kegels, ensuring that you're engaging the correct muscles with each contraction. You can use the Kegel Coach in the Exercises tab to refine your technique.
If you're still encountering issues, consider taking a break from training to allow your pelvic floor muscles to rest and recover. Overtraining can sometimes lead to fatigue, impacting your ability to perform effective contractions.
By following these steps and addressing any potential issues with your training technique or device placement, you can ensure that your pelvic floor exercises are effective and that you see the desired response from the character on-screen.
