Im so sorry for you. Did you try to visit a specialist ? A physiotherapist could help you with the control of your pelvic muscles... Well worth trying! Also, there are simple exercises you can do at home (Kegel exercise).
But about jumping jacks, if you want to avoid them, I would replace those with "step touch". If you are very energetic and move your arms up and down while doing it, it is quite a good cardio exercise!
Good luck!0 -
You're not alone! My mother has issues with it as well (although she never talks about it) and I'm actively trying to prepare myself as best I can to avoid it.
I recently came across the following articles, which are slightly radical but very funny and interesting. There are links to more information and just generally a lot of useful things about what our bodies need.
The first one: http://mamasweat.blogspot.com/2010/05/pelvic-floor-party-kegels-are-not.html
Follow-up: http://mamasweat.blogspot.com/2010/05/pelvic-floor-encore.html
A funny and link-gather type post about everything pelvic, on the blog of the woman who is interviewed in the two first links: http://www.katysays.com/2010/10/29/tail-of-two-pumpkins/
Her blog is very interesting in general, and is all about how to treat your body right (in terms of posture and exercises). I definitely recommend reading it if you have the time.0
