Can I jog during my period?

In daily life, running has become a national sport. Whether it is the elderly, middle-aged people or children, we can see many people running on the playground almost every day. Running can not only lose weight, but also help the body restore health, and at the same time promote metabolic circulation. So, can you run during menstruation? What kind of impact will running during menstruation have on the body?

For women who are healthy and have a certain exercise habit, proper exercise during menstruation will not have any side effects, but will be beneficial to the body. For example, it helps balance the nervous system, promotes blood circulation, helps the abdominal and pelvic muscles to contract and relax, facilitates smoother discharge of menstrual blood, and can also relieve dysmenorrhea to a certain extent.

Three days before your period, you can decide on the form of exercise based on 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.

The above article introduces whether you can jog during menstruation. First of all, you can't, because the pelvic cavity has a large amount of blood during menstruation. If you exercise excessively, it will bring great adverse reactions to your menstruation, thereby causing excessive bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended that you try not to run during the first 3 days of menstruation.
