People still seem to be afraid to talk about this topic 🙈 It's such a natural thing which all us ladies have to deal with so I'm so glad someone asked me to talk on this topic 😊
.
.
Let's be honest none of us WANT to do it, especially if you are crippled with period pains 😩 And there's a lot of non sense out there telling us we 'shouldn't' do this that and the other 🤔 So what is the truth?
.
.
Well firstly like with most things I talk about it is very individual dependent. If you have a low iron count or anaemia, this time of month is very difficult to exercise. You are an exception to the norm. But for most of us there's no need to cut out exercise. Sometimes we MAY just need to cut down especially if you have a heavy flow and are losing a lot of blood 😔
.
.
Why should we exercise during our period?
✔️ Decreases PMS symptoms
✔️ Endorphins - our feel good factor
✔️ Reduces period pains
✔️ Enhances your mood 😊
.
.
What type of exercise should we do?
-As I said before, most of the time we can just keep up with our normal exercise routine but yoga and pilates can be quite beneficial.
- Did you know that during your period you're stronger? So low rep strength training can be benificial 💪
