Do you leak or feel pelvic pressure when you jump rope?

Before you blame your pelvic floor strength, look at your position.

A common mistake we see is jumping with the rib cage pushed forward and the pelvis behind you.

This changes how your rib cage, core, and pelvis are stacked—and can make it harder for your pelvic floor to respond quickly to the repeated impact of jumping.

Try this quick adjustment:

✔️ Stack your rib cage over your pelvis
✔️ Look ahead and slightly down instead of up
✔️ Keep your body centered as you jump

Then try jumping again.

Sometimes the answer isn't more Kegels.

Sometimes your pelvic floor just needs a better position to do its job.

Save this and try it during your next workout!

Do you hover over public toilets? 🚽

We get it. Sometimes sitting on that toilet seat is just NOT happening. 😅

And hovering occasionally? Your pelvic floor will be just fine.

But if you routinely hover every time you use a public bathroom, here's why we want you to rethink it:

When you hover, your legs, hips, and pelvic floor have to stay active to hold you in that position.

The problem? Peeing requires your pelvic floor to RELAX so your bladder can empty.

If you're constantly trying to p*e while keeping those muscles "on," it can make it harder to fully empty your bladder and may contribute to habits like straining or pushing to get the last bit out.

So when you can:

✔️ Sit all the way down
✔️ Let your legs relax
✔️ Let your belly and pelvic floor soften
✔️ Give your bladder time to empty—no pushing required

And if the gas station bathroom looks questionable?

Hover. 😂

It's what you do routinely that matters—not what you do occasionally.

Save this for your fellow public-toilet hoverer.

Do you ever get a burning or pulling sensation around your belly button—especially during core exercises?

One place we often look: your obliques.

When this area is holding a lot of tension or doing more work than it needs to, you may feel burning, pulling, or discomfort around the abdomen.

Try this gentle self-release

Better?

That doesn't necessarily mean you've “fixed” the problem—but it gives us a clue about what may be contributing.

Save this one to try later!
