Can I run during menstruation?

Menstruation begins when girls enter puberty. Every month, the shedding of the endometrium will cause blood to flow out of the vagina. I have always heard adults say that you cannot exercise excessively during menstruation, you must get enough rest, avoid being too tired, etc. However, many girls now run in pursuit of a perfect figure, but running requires persistence. If you stop running during menstruation, will the effect of running be weakened? So many people ask, can you run during menstruation?

It is not easy to do strenuous exercise during menstruation! Moderate exercise during menstruation can improve the body's condition, improve blood circulation, help the contraction and relaxation of the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles, and facilitate the discharge of menstrual blood, so fitness during menstruation is completely fine. You can participate in relaxing sports such as walking, but it is not advisable to engage in strenuous sports, otherwise it will cause irregular menstruation. At the same time, you should also pay attention to reducing the amount and intensity of exercise on the first and second days of your period, and the exercise time should not be too long; take a hot shower after exercise. But avoid saunas and massages.

It is best to pay attention to the following points when exercising during menstruation:

1. Reduce the amount of exercise: It is advisable to participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc.

2. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

First of all, it should be pointed out that everyone's physique is different, so whether you can run during menstruation depends on your own conditions. If you feel uncomfortable running during menstruation, then don't run. However, you can do appropriate exercise during menstruation, such as table tennis, badminton and other lighter sports. I hope that women can have a perfect figure and a healthy body at the same time.
