Getting Started: Your First Week with SizeMatters

Starting a new wellness routine can feel overwhelming. This guide will walk you through your first week with SizeMatters, ensuring you build a strong foundation for long-term success.

Day 1-2: Assessment & Learning

Take the Initial Assessment

Your personalized program starts with understanding your current state:

  • Erectile Function - Baseline measurements
  • Control & Endurance - Current capabilities
  • Goals - What you want to achieve
  • Health History - Any relevant medical information

The app uses this to create a customized program just for you.

Learn Proper Technique

Before starting exercises, you need to locate and activate the right muscles:

  1. The Stop Test - While urinating, try to stop the stream mid-flow
  2. The Lift Test - Imagine pulling your penis inward
  3. The Hold Test - Contract and hold for 3-5 seconds

⚠️ Important: Don't hold your breath or tense your abdomen, buttocks, or thighs.

Day 3-4: First Exercises

Start Simple

Your first exercises will be basic contractions:

  • 3 sets of 10 contractions
  • 5 seconds hold each
  • 5 seconds rest between
  • 2-3 minutes total workout time

What to Expect

  • Mild muscle fatigue (normal!)
  • Better awareness of the muscles
  • Some difficulty maintaining contractions
  • Possible soreness the next day

Day 5-7: Building Consistency

Establish a Routine

Pick a consistent time each day:

  • ☀️ Morning - After waking up
  • 🌙 Evening - Before bed
  • 🍽️ Lunch break - Discreet anywhere

Track Your Progress

The app automatically tracks:

  • ✅ Workout completion
  • ⏱️ Time spent exercising
  • 📈 Strength improvements
  • 🎯 Streak count

Common Beginner Mistakes

❌ Doing Too Much Too Soon

Problem: Thinking more is better
Reality: Your pelvic floor needs recovery time
Solution: Follow the app's progressive program

❌ Holding Your Breath

Problem: Tensing your whole body during exercises
Reality: Should only contract pelvic floor muscles
Solution: Breathe normally throughout

❌ Skipping Days

Problem: Inconsistent practice
Reality: Consistency beats intensity
Solution: Even 5 minutes daily > 30 minutes occasionally

❌ Wrong Muscle Activation

Problem: Engaging abs, glutes, or thighs
Reality: Should isolate pelvic floor only
Solution: Practice in front of a mirror initially

When Will I See Results?

Results vary by individual and goal:

| Timeframe | What to Expect | |-----------|----------------| | Week 1-2 | Better muscle awareness, easier activation | | Week 3-4 | Improved control, stronger contractions | | Week 6-8 | Functional improvements, better endurance | | Week 12+ | Significant, lasting changes |
