Hey Fitness Community! Let’s dive into a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly important: incontinence in weight training. It’s more common than you think and needs serious attention!
Did you know? Up to 67% of women with incontinence don’t discuss it with their trainers. It’s a hidden struggle for many clients! .
Why does it happen? Heavy lifting and high-impact exercises can increase intra-abdominal pressure, straining the pelvic floor muscles. It’s like overloading a bridge until it can’t hold any more weight!
Impact on Fitness: This can lead to leaks, discomfort, and a drop in confidence. Many women might avoid certain exercises, skip workouts altogether OR EVEN QUIT YOUR GYM!
Your Role as a Trainer: Understanding and addressing incontinence can transform your approach. Offer modifications, pelvic floor exercises, and a supportive environment.
Educate Yourself: Investing in yourself and your team on pelvic health and incontinence management helps you provide the best support for your clients AND improves retention.
Statistics Matter: With up to 20 million American women affected, incontinence is a major concern. YOUR education and implementation is the first step to change!
In Summary: Incontinence affects many women in weight training. Understanding and addressing it can make a significant impact on your clients’ confidence and retention. Need to learn how to properly empower your clients or members? This is EXACTLY what Heal & Seal does.
