Period and exercise

It’s those days of the month and you feel your stamina leaving you.

Even though lower back pain, sudden acne, swelling and lack of energy are bothering you, it’s important to stand up and do something.Physical exercise during your period and especially running can help you especially a week before your period, when you feel more tired and heavy than ever.

Running and high-intensity programs can relieve you of a bad mood and make you feel better and your body more active. In the first phase of your cycle, your hormones reset in preparation for the next ovulation.

Estrogen begins to increase at a rapid rate and this explains the high concentration of energy and the increase in your libido during and immediately after your period.And if you’re feeling down and upset, that’s no excuse for not doing something to change your mood and increase the energy levels in your body.

It has been proven that during exercise, even for half an hour, the muscles of the pelvic floor warm up and relax, offering you relief from the pain of period spasms, contributing to the removal of unpleasant period symptoms.

Of course, there are also milder exercise programs such as yoga which in turn contribute to the reduction of symptoms for those of you who are suffering from a very heavy period or suffer from some kind of ailment.

It is important to listen to your body’s needs throughout your period but also to offer it extra help and motivation to activate it, pushing you to exercise according to how you feel.
