Discussion Question: Women and Double Unders

January 19th, 2012 · No Comments

Welcome readers,
If you are new here, please check out my about page, click on categories on anything you’re interested in, and spend some time here. I’ve learned lots about being an athlete and I’ve also had lots of fails, but, what interests me most is what can I learn about now..How can I improve being an athlete now?

My current quest might be a surprise to you via internet, but, for those of you in and around the crossfit community, then, you know about the Double Under problem for women. And, frankly, it isn’t just about women who’ve had kids…I used this as an excuse for a long time…but I know the truth now. The problem is basically we pee amidst multiple doubles in a row….bleh, there I said it {stress incontinence}. Now, I’ve talked to young and older women, grandmas and moms, and we all have had the “oh my god, I have to go” problem right in the middle of a workout. (competitions make it worse)

My question to you is ….what can you do about it?!
The answers I’ve gotten so far include surgery, wear a pad, don’t do double unders, don’t compete, do your kegels, and therapy!

What else can you do?
