Is it wise to exercise while on your period?


Question:
Is working out beneficial? Especially if you're cramping.

Answers:
I always exercise during my period! Mainly because when you exercise you release endorphins, the body's natural painkiller!

This not only eases any cramping but can also relieve any mood swings/depressions/anxiety you may get during your monthlies!

Secondly, exercising takes my mind off the pain, so i tend to forget its there, as well as getting the bonus of an aerobic workout! :)

Its best to try it to see how you find it, but it certainly beats being doubled up on the sofa with a hot water bottle!
It's not wise or unwise to exercise, it's all personal choice. However, if you're cramping, I reccomend a heat pack and painkillers. The heat pack will bring quick relief and the painkillers will dull the pain even more.
i dont know about beneficial but it prolly wont hurt anything hope that answers any questions
Exercising while on you period is wonderful. I have been doing it for years and have had very few pains. I highly suggest that you do it.
