What kind of exercise is suitable for menstrual period?

The menstrual period is very important for female friends. If you do not pay attention to taking good care of your body at this time, it is very likely to cause sequelae to your body, or even some gynecological diseases that are difficult to cure. Especially during this period, you must pay attention to rest, and try not to force yourself to do some more strenuous exercise, otherwise it is likely to cause some problems with your body. However, you can do some appropriate exercises during your menstrual period.

During menstruation, many women experience physical discomfort. Therefore, three days before your period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, focusing on gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, elementary body gymnastics, or just doing some simple stretching exercises at home. These light exercises help the blood flow smoothly in the body and relieve stress. During exercise, be sure to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and avoid raising the legs too high. If you feel tired or notice a sudden increase or decrease in bleeding, stop exercising immediately.

On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging. However, you should still avoid some ball games and heavy weight sports.

Reminder: The above analysis is based on normal situations, and women with special circumstances are not included.

1. Reduce the amount of exercise: It is advisable to participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc.

2. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

3. Avoid participating in strenuous and vibrating sports: During menstruation, you should not participate in sports such as high jump, long jump, 100-meter race and football. You should also not do strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as push-ups and dumbbells, to avoid excessive menstrual bleeding or changes in the position of the uterus.

4. Avoid participating in various water sports: Do not participate in diving, swimming, water polo and other sports; do not take cold showers or wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

5. Avoid highly competitive competitions: Taking part in these sports during menstruation can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction and menstrual disorders due to high mental stress.

In fact, as long as we don't do some intense competitive sports during our menstrual period, we can do it. However, we can't do some sports with large vibrations, including high jump and long jump. Otherwise, it is likely to cause excessive menstrual bleeding during menstruation, and even in severe cases, it may cause the position of our uterus to change, which will affect our future fertility.
