Step 01
Answer the questions
Answer questions about your goals and difficulties to find a starting point. The daily practices take about ten to twenty minutes.
Healthy circulation helps you get an erection, and pelvic floor muscles help support its firmness. If you want to know how to increase blood flow to the penis, start with your overall health and the cause of any erection difficulties. Exercise, healthy habits and appropriate pelvic floor training may help. Persistent problems need a medical assessment. Keep It Hard offers guided exercises, relaxation and ways to manage performance anxiety.
Get my planDuring arousal, blood vessels relax and more blood enters the two chambers of spongy tissue in the penis, called the corpora cavernosa. Nerves, hormones and circulation all contribute to this process.
As the chambers fill, they compress veins that carry blood away. This helps keep blood in the penis. Pelvic floor muscles also support firmness. Improving erections can involve both circulation and muscle function.
An erection that fades can have several causes, including anxiety, circulation problems or impaired muscle function. A venous leak is one possible diagnosis, but symptoms alone cannot confirm it. An assessment may include tests when a clinician considers them necessary.
If you are wondering how to improve blood flow to the penis, both circulation and the mechanisms that retain blood matter. Pelvic floor training addresses only part of this process.
Keep It Hard is The Coach’s program for erection difficulties. It combines pelvic floor exercises, relaxation and practices for performance anxiety in a daily plan. It does not diagnose or treat a venous leak.

Step 02
Short video, audio and text lessons explain the practices. Your Daily Action plan sets out when to do them and when to rest.

Questions about pelvic symptoms can flag a need for professional advice. If exercises cause pain or worsen your symptoms, stop and seek help before continuing.
Answer a few questions to find a starting point in Keep It Hard.
How to increase blood flow for erectile dysfunction depends on what is causing the problem. A clinician can assess circulation, medication and other possible factors. Pelvic floor exercises may support muscle function, but they cannot replace treatment for a vascular condition.
Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, nerve or hormone problems, medication, surgery and lifestyle can all affect erections. They do not all reduce blood flow in the same way. A clinician can help identify what is relevant to you.
If you cannot get an erection in any situation, or the problem persists or follows a medication change, speak to a clinician. For more about possible causes, see our guide to erectile dysfunction.
Healthy habits can support circulation and sexual health. Pelvic floor exercises work on muscle function. These approaches have different purposes, and none guarantees an immediate change in your erections.
These pelvic floor exercises train the muscles that support erection firmness. They do not directly treat narrowed blood vessels. The practices below cover gentle stretching, Kegels, relaxation, breathing and comfortable positions.
Regular practice matters, but results and timing vary. If your pelvic floor is painful or tense, get advice before adding strengthening exercises. A questionnaire can flag symptoms to discuss with a professional; it cannot diagnose the cause. For other approaches to erection difficulties, see our guide to exercises for erectile dysfunction. Choose exercises that fit your symptoms and stop if they cause pain.
Exercises support muscle function. Medical assessment helps identify circulation problems and the right treatment.
A program helps you follow the exercises, allow time for rest and understand when to ask for help.
Learn how to contract and relax the muscles, include rest and follow the recommended frequency. Reverse Kegels are introduced after the first week.
The program includes input from clinicians and therapists. If you have pain or persistent pelvic tension, seek individual advice from a pelvic health professional.
The program provides exercises and education. It does not diagnose a condition or replace medication, treatment or a medical assessment.
Keep It Hard combines pelvic floor exercises, relaxation and practices for performance anxiety. Allow about ten to twenty minutes a day. Start with the quiz to find your next step.
Venous leak symptoms can include difficulty maintaining an erection, but other conditions can cause this too. A urologist assesses symptoms and medical history and decides whether tests such as Doppler ultrasound are needed.
Venous leak treatment, also called venous leakage treatment, depends on the diagnosis and your circumstances. Exercises do not repair damaged tissue or replace clinical care. Ask a urologist which treatments are appropriate and whether pelvic floor training could support your care.
A venous leak exercise for men usually means pelvic floor training intended to support muscle function. Venous leakage exercises are suitable only when strengthening is appropriate. Exercises cannot be relied on to stop a venous leak or repair damaged tissue. Improvement in erection firmness does not establish that a venous leak has been cured.
Ask whether pelvic floor exercises are suitable for you and keep any recommended medical appointments. For more about the exercises, see our guide to kegel exercises for men.
From a survey of The Coach users who finished their first four weeks:
These survey results describe users’ experiences. They do not prove a change in penile blood flow or guarantee a result for you.
From Trustpilot and the app stores, in their own words:
“This app is just what I needed when my confidence was at an all time low. I felt stressed and completely lost all interest to the point where I struggled to get it up. But then I took a chance on this app. Daily listening and going through the exercises sometimes even half-mindedly. Well! Let’s just say she definitely noticed the change and now can’t seem to get enough of it 😁👍”
“The daily pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises are short, only 5 to 10 minutes each, and they’re split nicely: one session in the morning and one in the evening. This makes it very easy to stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed. In just a few weeks, I’ve noticed clear improvements in my erection quality, stamina, and ability to ‘stay hard’ longer.”
“I wish I found this app 20 years ago when I got married. I saw the ad and read the symptoms I could check most of the boxes. I take medication as a last resort, so when I saw the natural approach I thought I would give it a try. I am happy for the results I have gotten and I appreciate the tips and advice. Thank you The Coach Team”
“Before signing on to the coach I struggle have erection. I started using the coach in the first week of January, 2026 and by the 2nd week I'd already started seeing improvement in my erection. The Coach is not only about kegel exercise but is a complete package and includes psychological , emotional and physical exercise as well and this has improved my wellbeing in all these areas.”

There is no reliable exercise that guarantees a lasting improvement in one minute. If you want to know how to get more blood flow to the penis, healthy habits and an assessment of persistent erection problems are useful starting points. Suitable pelvic floor exercises take regular practice, and results vary.
Kegel exercises for venous leak may support the muscles involved in erection firmness, if strengthening is appropriate. They do not repair damaged tissue or replace treatment. If you are wondering how to fix a venous leak, discuss the diagnosis and options with a urologist.
Healthy eating, regular physical activity and avoiding smoking support cardiovascular health. Suitable pelvic floor exercises can support muscle function. Keep It Hard offers exercises and relaxation rather than medication. These approaches do not replace prescribed treatment.
There is no fixed timeline. The cause of erection difficulties, your health and whether the exercises suit you all matter. Allow time for regular practice, and speak to a clinician if problems persist or worsen.
Keep It Hard includes short video, audio and text lessons and a Daily Action plan. The practices cover pelvic floor exercises, relaxation, breathing, arousal awareness and communication. Reverse Kegels are introduced after the first week.
You can start the solo practices without special equipment. The program also includes partner practices and lessons on communication and positions, which you can explore when they fit your situation.
Arrange an assessment if erection problems persist, occur in every situation, begin after a medication change or come with pain or other symptoms. A clinician can help identify the cause and advise whether exercises are suitable while you wait for care.
