Exercise is also a good way to decrease inflammation and increase your energy level. It can improve the blood flow which is good news while dealing with period-related pain and fatigue.
Exercise releases endorphins which can increase the dopamine chemical in our brain. Dopamine is a chemical that has pleasure-inducing properties. It can enhance our good feeling by relieving pain.
Here we are suggesting some exercises that you may like to practice during your period.
Do exercise you like
It is not wise to practice any high-intense or unfamiliar workouts during your period. You need to practice those workouts that already work for you. It might be yoga, hiking, or weightlifting. Do those exercises that are comfortable to you. Throughout your cycle, your hormones may fluctuate. But you inhabit the same body and you know what you feel good and what not. So, it’s better to move accordingly.
Focus on the advantages of exercise
Benefits always help us to stay motivated. So, while doing exercise focus on the benefits from the workouts that you can achieve. The hardest part is starting. Once you keep moving, you feel good and it becomes easy to continue. Especially when you are experiencing bleeding, it is tuff to continue exercising. In this situation, you need to stay motivated to give it a try. If you cannot continue, there is always a scope to stop.
Make exercise part of your lifestyle
The menstrual period is a regular cycle of a women’s life. You should take the exercise easy and learn to live with this experience. In fact, it is an opportunity to reflect and relax. It allows you to reset your regular lifecycle. You may get an opportunity to bond with other bleeding folks in your community.
So. Listen to your body and do exercise even during your menstrual period.
