Nowadays, many young women have healthy lifestyle habits and usually set a fixed time to exercise. There are many ways to exercise, among which jogging is more popular. However, women have their periods every month, and it is not suitable for them to exercise during these periods as it can stimulate an increase in menstrual flow. So, can women run and exercise during their menstrual period?
Although it is not recommended for women to exercise during their menstrual period, as long as they do not exercise excessively and do not exercise for a long time, they can still engage in jogging. In addition to jogging, women can also engage in low-intensity exercises such as yoga and tai chi. However, women should remember that short and long runs are not suitable for women to do during their menstrual period.
So women should exercise at low intensity and reduce exercise time during their menstrual period, and choose the appropriate exercise method for themselves. If you enjoy jogging during your menstrual period, you should limit your exercise time to about half of your usual time. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended for women to jog for half an hour every day during their menstrual period, which is beneficial for their health.
Appropriate exercise can relax the body and mind, promote blood circulation, improve pain tolerance, and even alleviate menstrual pain. However, it is best for women not to jog during the two or three days when their menstrual period is most frequent, and to choose walking or simple stretching exercises. But after the menstrual flow decreases, starting jogging again is beneficial for normal menstruation.
