Can women do sit-ups during menstruation?

I believe that many women have the habit of doing sit-ups in their daily lives. It can tighten our abdomen and create a slender waist, so it is also recognized by the majority of female friends. However, as menstruation is a lifelong friend of women, there are also some taboos during this special period. So can women do sit-ups during menstruation? In response to this question raised by everyone, please join me in today's study.

During women's menstrual period, moderate abdominal muscle exercise can promote blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and help regulate the menstrual period. Of course, the intensity of other sports training should be reduced and adequate rest should be maintained.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs during puberty in women as their sexual organs mature. Proper exercise during menstruation is good for the body, the key is to be reasonable and appropriate. Appropriately reduce the amount and duration of exercise, and gradually develop the habit of exercising during menstruation. During the first 1 to 2 days of menstruation, you can participate in low-intensity activities such as freehand gymnastics, table tennis, shooting basketball on the spot, and volleyball dribbling. Later, as the amount of menstrual blood decreases, you can gradually increase the amount until you resume normal exercise. Girls who are menstruating should not exercise under the scorching sun or take cold showers. Pay special attention to not getting your abdomen cold, so as not to cause ovarian dysfunction and menstrual disorders. Generally, girls should not swim during menstruation. Girls with severe dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding or menstrual disorders should stop all physical activities during their menstrual period.

However, menstruation is a special period for girls after all. During menstruation, the pelvic cavity is obviously congested, the body's resistance is low, and people are prone to fatigue. Therefore, when women engage in physical activities during menstruation, they should pay attention to the following issues:

1. Choose some sports that you regularly participate in and have already adapted to, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball shooting, and the 18 exercises. You should avoid strenuous exercises that involve large vibrations, such as high jump, long jump, throwing, sprinting, and football. You should also avoid doing push-ups, lifting dumbbells, and other exercises that increase abdominal pressure. You should also avoid participating in water sports such as diving and swimming.

2. When engaging in activities, pay attention to shortening the exercise time, slowing down the speed, reducing the amount of exercise, and pay attention to relaxing after exercise. You can take a shower, but don't take a bath in a tub to avoid pelvic infection, and don't take a cold shower to avoid blood vessel constriction and induce menstrual disorders.

3. It is not advisable to participate in highly stressful competitions during the menstrual period to avoid causing menstrual functional disorders.

I believe that through the above learning, everyone has a clear answer to the question of whether women can do sit-ups during menstruation. Although menstruation is a time when women are relatively weak, moderate exercise is still possible, but remember not to do strenuous exercise. You should also pay attention to keeping warm and eat more blood-enriching foods. Of course, good rest is also very important during this period, remember not to stay up late.
