An odd item to post to Hacker News.
It probably is. I often see links about health, longevity, nutrition, fitness. I suspect this could be an area that has been neglected by males. Anecdotally I know many females that are very familiar with kegels and conversely if I jokingly mention to males I was the 2022 kegel champion I get confused looks and congratulated. There are health benefits to doing kegels [1][2] with the bonus that anyone can do them when sitting at a computer even if that is not the ideal position to do them. They can be done during team stand-ups.
I agree there should be a way to track progress on this. I have no idea how the Apple Watch could do this but it would be an interesting thought exercise.
