Can I do aerobic exercise when I have my period?

1) Avoid taking part in strenuous and vibrating sports. During menstruation, it is not advisable to participate in high jump, long jump, pitching, 100-meter race, playing football, etc., nor do strength exercises such as push-ups and dumbbells to increase abdominal pressure, so as to avoid excessive menstrual bleeding or change the position of the uterus.

(2) Being able to participate in various water sports. Do not participate in diving, swimming or water polo; It is also advisable to take a cold bath and wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

(3) Avoid taking part in some fierce competitions. Taking part in these sports during menstruation, due to mental stress, leads to endocrine dysfunction and menstrual disorder. It is best to adjust exercise during menstruation. For example, on the menstrual day of 1 2, you can do some light activities such as radio exercises, aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan and qigong. On the third and fourth days, you can increase the amount of activities, such as toto volleyball, badminton and table tennis. We should also relax the tense parts of the waist, abdomen and back, do more soothing exercises combining stretching and breathing, and don't do sports with great vibration, such as violent running and jumping, volleyball spike and basketball jump shot. It is even more impossible to carry out strength exercises to increase abdominal pressure, such as lifting barbells and strenuous abdominal exercises.

Activity time should not be too long, generally 15-30 minutes is appropriate. For women who have no sports foundation, games, cold baths, swimming and other sports are not suitable during menstruation (well-trained women and athletes can participate in these sports appropriately). It is best to start exercising from the first day of menstrual cycle (the first day of menstrual cramps) and feel comfortable. The oral contraceptive Marvelon (a commonly used contraceptive) has few side effects.
