Period & Sport - Tips from a Gynaecologist
The following information from a conversation with a gynecologist makes it clear that sport and exercise during your period are not only possible, but also beneficial. It is important to listen to your own body and choose the form of exercise that feels best.
It is only too understandable if going to the gym or training is difficult when the first signs of your period appear. Physical complaints such as headaches and abdominal cramps can be just as stressful as psychological discomfort, irritability or depressive moods. But
According to an experienced gynecologist, exercise and sport during menstruation can be surprisingly helpful, especially for women who suffer from severe pain and emotional stress.
Exercise during your period: Why it’s worth it
Exercise and sport can counteract physical and psychological discomfort during menstruation. The gynecologist emphasizes that any form of exercise is better than no exercise at all. It is important to motivate yourself and stay active, even if you don't feel like it at first.
Choosing the right form of training
The gynecologist advises choosing the same sport or form of exercise that you enjoy during the rest of the month. Maintaining habits and following your daily routine can help bring body and soul into balance. Exercise itself has an antispasmodic effect and can improve your well-being.
Intensive training: more than just exercise
The more intense the workout, the better the effects. Intensive training sessions promote the release of happiness hormones such as endorphins. These hormones not only improve general well-being, but also alleviate the negative side effects of menstruation, such as discomfort and pain.
