Leaking while you’re working out is so frustrating! There can be many contributing factors, but here’s a few tips or “low hanging fruit” to help! 1. Time your caffeine or pre-workout. These tend to be bladder irritants and can increase leakage. If you can, time it at least 30 minutes prior to exercise. Then, pee before you workout, and you’ll have a happier bladder! 2. BREATHE! Holding your breath creates more pressure on your bladder and increases the risk of a leak. Exhale with exertion! 3. Be as regular as you can! Constipation will always make bladder leaking worse. If you’re blessed with flexibility in your workout timing, shoot for exercising after a bowel movement. Less “crowding” in the pelvis and more space for your bladder to hold urine. Sometimes easier said than done, but hydration and fiber go a long way!Bladder leaking is often multifactorial.
