It’s that time of the month again and the last thing you want to do is get out of bed or that comfy couch. I don’t blame you when my period comes around I feel drained too, but I don’t let that stop me from working out. Trust me, it gives you the energy you need and is a complete mood changer. Here are a few tips for exercising during your period.
Take it easy.
Lisen to your body, everyone’s menstrual cycle is completely different. Find a workout that accommodates to the way you’re feeling. If you’re not used to working out during your period, start slowly. Do some stretches or go for a walk.
Hydrate.
Always remember to drink plenty of water during your workouts. Carry a water bottle with you to the gym, park, or wherever it is you plan to exercise.
Wear the right clothes.
Stick to dark clothes and ditch the skin tight leggings if you feel uncomfortable. If you think you might leak, wear biker shorts under your regular workout clothes. It’ll keep everything in place and help you feel more relaxed during your workout.
Protection.
Wear the right pad! That’s what it all comes down to. In fact, 60% of women are wearing the wrong size pad! I use Always Radiant pads, they are up to 100% leak and odor free! The fabulous FlexFoam™ absorbs 10 times its weight for protection you’ll forget is even there. It also gives you up to 10 hours of worry-free protection. Now Always MY FIT helps you get the best protection by tailoring your pad to fit your flow and panty size. Use this size selector tool to find the right-sized pad for your unique monthly cycle. Always Radiant gives women the confidence they need to look and feel their best. These amazing pads are available every day at Walmart’s low prices!
I’ve been working out 5-6 times a week, even when I’m on my period. Do I feel like it? No, not all the time. I still do it. I feel so much better after working out. It changes my overall mood and mindset. I hope you find these tips for exercising during your period helpful! Make sure to leave a comment.
