What is exercise during menstruation?

I believe that many female friends want to know whether they can exercise during menstruation, because for most female friends, moderate exercise during menstruation is fine, it will not lead to increased bleeding, and will not cause any physical harm. This depends on personal circumstances. Of course, if you find any discomfort during exercise during menstruation, you need to stop exercising at this time, but in general, proper exercise will make female friends more energetic. You can choose according to your own situation.

1. Walk slowly for 20 to 40 minutes

Even experts who are against strenuous exercise or fitness training during menstruation cannot but agree that walking or slow pace is the best exercise to effectively help adjust menstrual discomfort without being prone to injury. Whether it is before or during your period, as long as you are able to get out of bed and walk around, you might as well put on comfortable sandals, apply sunscreen, and go for a walk in the park.

Although walking alone does not burn too many calories, when there is a cool and comfortable breeze in the evening, take your partner, baby or dog for a walk. Not only will your mood quietly become happier, but you will also feel physically and mentally refreshed because you have exercised!

2. Jog for 15 to 30 minutes

If you have the idea of ​​going jogging, don't hesitate, just run! Many sports science studies have confirmed that running can indeed activate the brain and produce endorphins, a chemical that can boost mood. So, if you feel depressed because of your menstrual period, put on your headphones and let music accompany your jogging time! It is important to note that in addition to the menstrual blood being discharged from your body, water and electrolytes will also be lost due to jogging. I would like to remind you to remember to replenish enough water in three stages: before running, during jogging, and after running, so as not to accelerate the depletion of body energy and become tired and weak after running.

3. Yoga 10 ~ 20 minutes

Generally speaking, the yoga moves suitable for women during menstruation vary from person to person; and the maturity of the technique and the flexibility of the body also determine whether you can perform specific yoga moves. Although it is not recommended that you do headstands, some yoga moves can indeed help you relax your pelvic muscles and relieve lower back pain caused by menstruation.

It is inevitable for every woman to have her menstrual period once a month. Some women want to exercise during this special time, and think that this is good for themselves. Introduced above are several exercises suitable for menstruation. I hope that women during menstruation must be cautious when choosing. If you feel that there is something wrong with you, you still need to stop all kinds of exercise to reduce unnecessary harm to yourself.
