And what’s worse, as perimenopause creeps up with the otherwise unexplained weight gain I’m trying all of these workouts and not a single jumping jack without wetting myself. I bought the pads for it and I do these workouts at home, pausing every few minutes to go to the toilet (which then totally screws up the whole Tabata timing thing) but peeing myself nonetheless and skip rope is even worse. I am kind of wishing the comments here could also be anonymous? I have things to say to other posts but don’t because of the lack of anonymity… and this from one who is decidedly lacking a filter, so much so that I can’t think of anything I have never admitted to someone else (and do therapists count BTW?)
What a great idea to make the comments here anonymous also. Let me look into that. And while we are not being anonymous, your line about Tabata cracked me up. And I pee in my pants pretty regularly. I have that thing and I forget what the name for it is but when you get closer to the bathroom, you need to pee more urgently. That happens to me all the time so I've peed outside of a lot of people's apartment doors or going up stairs or an escalator or whatever comes right before the bathroom. Often as I am entering the bathroom too.
I just thought of this as I'm taking the aforementioned pee-breaks and screwing up the Tabata again (as is the post election anxiety that keeps me from staying with anything, even cardio, for more than 2 minutes) - I think you're talking about urge incontinence. I had to memorize them all at one point for our pelvic floor unit in PT school.
I live overseas now and keep buying the weak bladder pads by accident because they aren’t in English but at this point I need them more than the regular ones. Anyway, to be recommended for cardio.

Was going to say that the pee bursts while exercising are absolutely my least favorite. I keep having to change my stretchy pants.
