Can't do sit-ups during menstruation?

I believe that in daily life, sit-ups are a very simple and quick way of exercise for female friends. It doesn't take up too much of your time, nor does it consume any money. You just need to exercise after work. Therefore, it is loved and recognized by the majority of female friends, but many friends are skeptical about whether they can do this exercise during menstruation. So can’t you do sit-ups during menstruation? Please check out the following time together.

"Sitting in the office all day long can lead to poor blood return in the pelvis, which can reduce the local disease resistance of the pelvic area and easily cause pelvic congestion." Director Lin said, "Sit-ups, jogging, squats and other lower abdominal and lower limb exercises are beneficial to promote abdominal blood circulation and reduce the probability of pelvic congestion."

Director Lin reminds that before the onset of pelvic congestion, there will generally be symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, back pain, and constipation. Of course, to confirm the condition, you must go to a regular hospital for examination. In addition, Lin Xiaobing suggested that women should move their waists more to stretch their waist muscles.

It is said on the Internet that excessive physical fatigue, abnormal standing or sitting postures, and too tight waistbands can block the meridians, leading to poor blood circulation, lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

Some experts suggest doing sit-ups to exercise the abdominal muscles, stretch the back muscles, ligaments and spine, and by stretching the spine, regulate the central nervous system and improve the body's disease resistance. In addition, you can also exercise your groin, which can stimulate the blood vessels in the groin and speed up blood flow, thereby treating and alleviating gynecological diseases.

"In addition to sit-ups, anal lifting exercises are also an effective way to reduce the incidence of gynecological diseases in women. They mainly relieve prolapse of the uterus, pelvis, and rectum. After giving birth, many women will have reduced pelvic floor function, abdominal bloating, and are prone to gynecological diseases." Director Lin said.

2. There are three "attentions" for women to do sit-ups

When you are at work during the day, get up every once in a while to stretch your muscles, do some squats and stand-ups. When you go home at night, practice lower abdominal exercises and do a few sets of sit-ups. This will not only help you shape good body curves, but also enhance your immunity and improve your physical fitness.

Although sit-ups are a common form of physical exercise, they are specifically designed for women and have a lot to pay attention to in order to produce a good effect on the lower abdomen.

First, don’t hold your head with your hands. Usually when we do sit-ups, we hold our heads with our hands and cross them. When women do this, they should not hold their heads with their hands, but place them next to their ears. This way, the waist and abdomen will be more exerted.

Second, bend your knees and place the soles of your feet flat on the ground. When doing this, be sure to keep your knees close together, the tighter the better, so that you can exercise the muscles in the groin and pelvic area.

Third, do not lift heavy objects when doing sit-ups to avoid squeezing or hitting your abdomen.

At the same time, the amount of sit-ups you do each time also needs to be appropriate. You can start with 10 in a group and do at least 3 groups a day. For women who exercise regularly, it is better to do 5 sets a day, with a 2-minute rest between each set. The best sit-up performance for women under 30 is 45-50 per minute; for those around 40, 35 per minute; for women around 50, try to do 25 per minute.

The above paragraphs have well answered the question of whether you can do sit-ups during menstruation. I believe that any female friend who has read it carefully will already have a standard answer of their own in their hearts. Although menstruation makes women more vulnerable, in addition to careful care, moderate and light exercise can also promote the elimination of blood stasis. But remember not to exercise excessively, as this can cause damage to the uterus.
