How do you make yourself exercise when you are having your period?
Recommended AnswerAI SummaryExercising during your period can be challenging, but it’s important to listen to your body. Focus on gentle activities like walking, stretching, or yoga, which can alleviate discomfort and boost your mood. Establish a routine that includes these lighter exercises, making them part of your self-care rituals. Remember, consistency is key, so find what feels good for you and honor your body’s needs. This approach can help you maintain a healthy habit of exercise, even during your period.
Our bodies need different things when we are in our periods. For me, exercise typically looks like yoga (bc all my muscles all tight from cramping) and walking, sometimes outside, sometimes on a treadmill (bc it feels like it helps move things around, especially when i have issues with bloating). Swimming has also been really soothing, as the cold pool water also helps calm my cramps
