You've developed a sixth sense for which instructors love box jumps
You can hear 'alright everyone, jumping jacks!' and your nervous system has already run the risk assessment. You know which HIIT workouts are fine and which ones are a gamble. You've gotten very good at spotting the low-impact modification and taking it without making it obvious. You stand near the back. You've been standing near the back for a while now.
You don't hate burpees. You just hate the particular kind of attention they draw.
You are excellent at managing this. It is an annoying thing to be excellent at.
The physics, quickly
When you land from a jump, your body absorbs a significant amount of force in a fraction of a second. That generates pressure. Your pelvic floor needs to brace against it fast enough to keep things in check. When it can't, a leak happens. Jumping creates some of the biggest, fastest pressure spikes of any activity, which is why you can have no issues on a jog and still have problems during jumping jacks.
Not random. Physics.
It's not a fitness problem
Strong women experience this. Athletes experience this. The pelvic floor is a specific muscle group with specific demands, and its performance during high-impact movement has nothing to do with how fit you are otherwise. Your body is under more pressure than your pelvic floor can handle in that moment. That's the whole thing. And it's a solvable problem.
Where Cntrl+ fits
Cntrl+ is the answer to the calculation you've been running in the back of every class. It goes in before the workout and helps your body handle the pressure that causes leaks during impact, so the mental inventory you've been doing automatically just stops. You stop standing near the back. You stop timing your modifications. You just do the class.
It's soft and flexible so you don't spend the hour thinking about it. Three sizes in The Starter Kit because finding the right fit takes some trial. A removal string because the anxiety around that part is real and it deserved an actual solution. FDA-cleared, reusable up to 90 times.
A pelvic floor physio is worth calling
They can assess what's specifically happening in your body and build a program for the kind of movement you actually do. Long-term, it's the most targeted solution. Short-term, Cntrl+ covers the workouts happening right now.
Just in the class
Not positioned near the back. Not mentally cataloguing which exercises are coming. Not executing a flawless low-impact modification that hopefully no one noticed.
Just in the class. From the front if you want. That's the goal.
