Don’t be afraid of relatives visiting you when you exercise! Go exercise with your aunt

Whenever a girl has her period, there are always many inconveniences. Even if there is no pain, she will worry that the menstrual blood will leak out due to excessive movement, causing embarrassment. In fact, as long as you choose sports pants carefully and avoid engaging in too strenuous exercise, you can still exercise and keep fit during your menstrual period.

Exercise during menstruation helps discharge menstrual blood and get rid of menstrual pain!

During the menstrual period, girls’ physical condition will be weaker than usual, they will be more sensitive and easily fatigued. However, this does not mean that they cannot engage in sports and fitness. You may wish to do some gentle exercises, such as walking, cycling, etc. These less intense aerobic exercises are beneficial to the body’s blood circulation and accelerate metabolism. In addition to helping to expel waste accumulated in the body, they can also help the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles contract and relax, which helps to expel menstrual blood and relieve menstrual pain. Never force your body to engage in overly strenuous exercise to avoid conditions such as endometrial shedding and bleeding during menstruation, pelvic bleeding, and decreased resistance of the reproductive organs.

When exercising during menstruation, there are three things you should be careful about!

Although exercising during menstruation is good for your health, there are some precautions you should pay attention to to avoid adverse effects:

1. Avoid entering air-conditioned rooms to avoid catching a cold due to your weak body during menstruation.

2. After exercise, wait until you stop sweating before taking a shower. This can relieve muscle fatigue and relax tense nerves after exercise. It is recommended to shower with warm water. If you use hot water, it will cause the blood vessels in the muscles and skin to dilate, and the blood flow to the muscles and skin will gradually increase, causing insufficient blood supply to other organs.

3. You can engage in moderate jogging or even lighter brisk walking, but avoid strenuous exercise such as sprinting or rope skipping. These exercises are too intense and will increase abdominal pressure, which may cause stagnation or excessive menstrual blood discharge and may even affect the normal position of the uterus.

If you feel obvious discomfort due to menstrual cramps, don’t force yourself to exercise!

If you have a heavy menstrual flow, severe menstrual pain, and obvious physical discomfort one or two days before your period, you need to rest more and put off exercising. Wait until the discomfort eases a little, then start doing some light exercise, and gradually increase the intensity of the training according to how your body can handle it. If the menstrual pain is too severe, do not force it. You should rest well and wait until you have recovered before deciding whether to exercise.
