While filming herself riding on herPeloton bikeat home, Polizzi — who shares daughterGiovanna Marie, 5, and sonsLorenzo Dominic, 7 andAngelo James, 7 months, with husbandJionni LaValle— asked her 13.1 million followers, “Do any other moms pee on the Peloton?”

Urinary incontinence is common among women after childbirth as “vaginal delivery can weaken muscles needed for bladder control,” according to theMayo Clinic.
In a clip posted to her Instagram account, the mom-of-three can be seen walking around her home gym while turned upside down on her hands.
“Me after binging CHEER,” she wrote in the caption, referencingNetflix’s new documentary seriesabout the competitive cheerleading squad at Navarro College. “THATS IT, I’m joining open.”
In December, Polizzi announced shewas retiringfromJersey Shore: Family Vacationduring an episode of her podcastIt’s Happening with Snooki & Joey, explaining that being away from her kids while filming was “really, really hard.” She also said the show was “getting so dramatic” and that she didn’t like how she was being portrayed throughout the series’ three seasons.
“I love you so much, and don’t hate me for my decision,” she said, addressing her fans. “I am retiring fromJersey Shore. I am not coming back toJersey Shorefor season 4 if there is one.”
“The main reason is really … I just can’t do it anymore,” Polizzi explained. “Literally, leaving my kids to film it is really, really hard on me.”
“Production knew that she had been thinking about this so they were not surprised,” the source told PEOPLE. “The most surprised is the cast, but I think they all understand that she is just exhausted and wants to try and do something on her own. I think she just is probably burned out.”

However, according to the source, Polizzi might not be putting herJersey Shoredays behind her for good.
“Everybody is saying she’ll be back after she takes a step back for a little,” the source said.
That same month, Polizzi shared onThe Mel Robbins Showthat she had quit because she wasno longer enjoying the experience of filmingthe hit reality show.
“I think when I was, like, actually forcing myself to be in a situation that I wasn’t happy in,” she revealed when asked what her breaking point was. “Like, I was forcing myself to be ‘happy,’ and I’m like, ‘That’s not me. I’m not genuinely happy.’ That’s when I’m like, ‘I’m out.'”
“It was really hard,” she continued. “But I had to think about my happiness and where I really wanted myself to be, and it’s being a mom and being [with my] kids and not drama and drinking … and drama.”
