7 Excercises to do during your period

Girls - When it comes to exercising during your period, it's always best to listen to your body. But there are really good reasons to work out. Above all, the endorphin rush after a workout will boost your mood!

1. Walking

Girls - Walking is perfect when you don't feel like doing anything too strenuous. Lace up your favorite shoes and head out for a stroll or a brisk hike in nature. Even if it's not an intense workout, you'll still get some exercise.

2. Running

Girls - Once you've gotten through the worst of your cycle's cramps, try increasing the intensity of your workout with a run. Make sure you stay hydrated and take it easy or take a break if you feel dizzy.

3. Pilates

Girls - Pilates targets specific muscle groups, so you can tailor your workout to your needs. For example, if you suffer from lower back pain during your period, try roll-downs to stretch your spine and back.

4. Yoga

Girls - Many yoga poses also help increase blood flow and circulation, which can help prevent clotting. So try a few yoga poses at home.
