Can I run during menstruation?

Many female friends want to pursue a well-proportioned figure and have tried many methods, such as dieting, taking diet pills, and various strange methods. However, most of them are useless and may be harmful to the body. Therefore, many friends choose to exercise, and the exercise they often choose is running. However, every girl has a question, that is, can you run during menstruation? It is said that you should persist in running, but can you still do such intense exercise during your menstrual period?

It is best to pay attention to the following points when exercising during menstruation:

1. Reduce the amount of exercise: It is advisable to participate in some sports that you practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, basketball, etc.

2. Shorten the exercise time and slow down to reduce the amount of exercise and relax the muscles.

3. Avoid participating in strenuous and vibrating sports: During menstruation, you should not participate in sports such as high jump, long jump, 100-meter race and football. You should also not do strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as push-ups and dumbbells, to avoid excessive menstrual bleeding or changes in the position of the uterus.

4. Avoid participating in various water sports: Do not participate in diving, swimming, water polo and other sports; do not take cold showers or wash your feet with cold water to avoid infection and menstrual disorders.

5. Avoid highly competitive competitions: Taking part in these sports during menstruation can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction and menstrual disorders due to high mental stress.

After all, everyone's physique is different. Some girls think that there is no problem with running during menstruation, but some girls think that running during menstruation is very harmful to their bodies. You can exercise during menstruation, but you must not exercise excessively. For example, if you usually run 10 laps, you can only run 5 laps during menstruation. Reduce the intensity of training to avoid causing physical discomfort.
