Why Leaking During Exercise is NOT Normal — And What You Can Do About It

Is Your Exercise Program Affecting Your Core, Pelvic Floor & Prolapse?

I saw something recently that I just have to talk about — because it’s driving me crazy! I came across a social media post from a fitness instructor who had just finished a high-impact class and openly joked about leaking during the workout. She wrote, “My bladder and knees certainly didn’t like it — haha!”

But here’s the thing: 💧Leaking is not funny, and it’s definitely not normal.🚫

Let’s talk about the facts:

⚠️ 50% of women who’ve had a baby suffer from prolapse — when organs shift and start slipping down where they shouldn’t.

⚠️ 30% of women experience pelvic floor dysfunction, which can lead to leaking, incontinence, and pain.

What’s even more concerning? Your exercise program might be making it worse. High-impact workouts and heavy lifting without the right core and pelvic floor engagement can add pressure, cause more damage, and lead to long-term problems. 🤕

You might not even realize there’s an issue. Some women don’t leak but experience heaviness, dragging sensations, or abdominal separation — and they think it will just fix itself. It won’t.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to live with this. There is so much that can be done to strengthen your core and pelvic floor, protect your body, and help you look and feel strong, healthy, and energized. 💪💖
