I’m guilty of this! I’ve had this happened to me before, starting sneezing and Opps, I just peed in my pants.
After having kids this gets even worse. Doing Pilates helps to strengthen the pelvic floor but I take it a step further
and add in a jump rope routine to my workout. While jumping you need to engage the pelvis floor or you’ll be leaving a little puddle.
My Canadian pal, Shawna K sent me over this jump rope workout, it was perfect to spice up my HIIT Pilates workout this morning…
Give it a try….
The key to success is to start off moderately. Do a ‘phantom’ or pretend skip for starters. Don’t let your feet lose contact with the floor. Gradually, work into an easy skip, all the while doing kegels when you’re jumping rope.
Here’s a beginner routine for you:
30 seconds of ‘phantom’ skip
30 seconds of prisoner squats
30 seconds of ‘phantom’ skip
30 seconds of push ups (modify to the knee if needed)
30 seconds of ‘phantom’ skip
30 seconds of front plank (drop to the knees if needed)
Repeat 3-5 times
