[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As our gym instructors say, if you're peeing your pants during the jumping jacks, you need some help.

Talk to your doc about a referral to a specialist PT. In the meantime, do the pelvic floor exercises that you find online.[/quote]

Really? I think every non has some degree of leakage during long and intense HIIT classes.

Leaking on a daily basis doing normal activities or running is not normal.  Leaking on here and there 30 min into burpees, tuck jumps, and such is not at all abnormal for women who have given birth.  But small amounts.  If you are full on wetting yourself then yeah I would go see a professional [/quote]

DP, and no.  That's a common misconception, just as it's common for women to leak urine but not "normal" or healthy.  I don't leak urine during any of those activities and I have three children, none of whom were delivered by C-section.

So, no, not every woman has some degree of leakage, HIIT or no.[/quote]

What is your background and qualification to make such a pronouncement because I find that it's pretty common.[/quote]

I'm the "gym instructor" poster. Yes, it's common. But, no, it's not okay. As they yell, "ladies, I don't care how many kids you've had, if you're peeing right now, you need to get that checked out."

I was a leaker myself a while back. Not anymore. It was a different type of muscle strengthening.[/quote]

And I'm the one who said it's not "normal" or healthy: my source is the pelvic floor PT I saw for a check up of sorts (had just turned 40, have three kids, wanted to see how I was doing, even with no leakage).  I'm pretty athletic and when we talked about workouts, she was adamant that urine leakage is not healthy, although it's all too commonly normalized as "okay" since it happens to so many women.

Also, something can be common and not universal.  This is one of those things.[/quote]
