Can You Exercise During Your Period?

Yes you can usually exercise during your period. Menstruation itself does not require you to stop physical activity. Walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, dancing, strength exercises and sport can all be suitable when you feel comfortable doing them. Gentle exercise may help some people manage period pain, but it is not guaranteed to remove cramps. Adjust the activity to your energy, bleeding, pain and other symptoms rather than forcing yourself to maintain the same intensity every day.
