Is it suitable for women to do fitness exercises during their menstrual period?

In fact, this mainly depends on your own situation. Generally speaking, most women still feel good during their menstrual period, and moderate exercise will not increase bleeding or cause irreparable physical damage. But if lower abdominal cramps are really making you feel overwhelmed, listen to your body and take a day off if necessary. Next, we will teach you 6 relaxing exercises that you can do safely during your menstrual period. You will find that moderate exercise during your menstrual period can make you rosy, clear and charming from the inside out!

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 autumn breeze in the evening, holding your own hand or walking for a while with your pet dog, 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 want to go jogging, don't hesitate, run! Many sports science studies have confirmed that running can indeed activate the brain and produce endorphins, chemicals that can boost mood. So, if you feel depressed because of your menstrual period, put on your headphones and let music accompany you during your jogging time! It is important to note that in addition to excreting menstrual blood, your body will also lose water and electrolytes 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 deplete your body's energy faster and make you feel tired and weak after running.

3. Yoga 10 to 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 back pain caused by menstruation. If you are not familiar with yoga yet, try the simple yoga garland pose!

1. Straighten your back, squat on the yoga mat with your feet, open your knees, spread your feet to both sides, and try your best to place the heels of both feet on the same horizontal line. Imagine yourself as a frog with your legs spread out, and place your hands naturally on the ground in front of your chest.

2. Then extend the fingertips of both hands backwards, with the palms facing up, and reach behind the left and right feet respectively.

3. Inhale, lean forward slightly and maintain balance. Pass your hands through your ankles and touch your fingertips together at the heels. Keep your feet in a balanced and open position, head slightly downward, and exhale slowly.

4. Aerobic dance 30~45 minutes

When your menstrual period comes, is the crazy spirit in your heart particularly restless, wanting to be released but not knowing how to do it? Honey, we totally understand, now, let’s do some aerobics together, it’s the perfect exercise to release the madness in your heart! Since rhythmic gymnastics teachers are usually very lively and the class style is very relaxing and interesting, I believe you will be able to divert your attention quickly and easily drive away your depression! Even better, aerobic dance of appropriate intensity not only burns a lot of calories, but also helps you eliminate edema; plus sweating can speed up your metabolism, allowing the body to achieve a deeper detoxification. After doing rhythmic gymnastics, you almost forget that your "good friend" is waiting for you at home! Of course, you must remember to replenish water in time.

5. Dance to your heart’s content

Dancing with vigorous movements may not sound like something you can do during your menstrual period; but if your condition is not too severe, dancing can actually help you improve your cardiopulmonary function and promote blood circulation, which can make menstrual blood flow more smoothly. And have you ever noticed that dancing is actually the sport that least resembles exercise? Looking at yourself in the mirror, beating to the beat, dynamic and neat, have you forgotten that you are actually still trapped in the misery of your menstrual period? Dancing can not only show your charm and affirm yourself, but also make you feel refreshed and happy again when your body feels dying! In addition, dancing at night can make you feel more relaxed than during the day, and it will make you look extra charming. Now, choose your favorite dance music and dance together!

Tips: Be sure to warm up thoroughly before dancing, and do cool-down exercises after dancing to prevent body strain!

6. Lie down, but don’t forget to breathe

If you are a girl who is super lazy, then use the rest time when watching TV at home to do some lying down exercises during the commercials. This will allow your body to completely relax while also helping your muscles and bones to stretch.

1. Lie face down on the ground (if the floor is too cold, remember to lay a blanket before lying down)

2. Hug your arms and elbows under your chest

3. Use the strength of your arms and toes to lift your body up, stay for a few seconds, and then put it down.

The seemingly fun lying exercise is actually a high-intensity full-body exercise during the menstrual period. First try to keep your body elevated until the end of a commercial, and then gradually extend it to the entire duration of the commercial. You will be surprised that you have consumed more than 300 calories in this seemingly short advertising time! Do it a few more times and your abdominal cramps will be significantly improved.

What are the most fat-removing and weight-loss foods?

1. Yogurt

Original sour milk contains milk sugar, protein and fat, which can stabilize blood sugar levels and is therefore very resistant to hunger. Research shows that people who are on a low-calorie diet and include yogurt in their diet lose 61 percent more body fat and 81 percent more belly fat than people on a similar plan without yogurt. Use low-fat plain yogurt in place of mayonnaise on chicken or potato salad, or top a baked potato with a little yogurt and a few squeezes of lemon juice. This way, you can save 4.7g of fat per tablespoon.

2. Sardines

Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, it helps maintain body muscle mass. Moreover, its low mercury content and high calcium content make this small fish very suitable for pregnant women. If you don't like the taste of this fish, soak it in milk for an hour and the fishy smell will be gone. In all recipes that contain anchovies as an ingredient, sardines can be substituted for anchovies. Or toss whole sardines with chopped green onions, fresh herbs, and chopped bell pepper, serve on a bed of rye or brown bread, and grill with a slice of cheese.

3. Eggs

Eggs, egg yolks, and everything about them are good for your heart and can help you lose weight. Research reports show that when on a low-calorie diet, women who eat fried egg and jelly toast for breakfast every day lose twice as much weight as women who eat bagels of the same amount of calories. Protein makes you feel full, so you won’t feel hungry for the next while and will eat less. Scrambled eggs and omelets are great choices, but if you don’t have time to make them before work, bake some frittatas on Sunday, slice them, and refrigerate them to eat throughout the week.
