Hello FitFam,

Hope you are keeping well. 

Every girl dreads these few days of the month. Our menstrual cycle can bring about quite a stir in our daily activities. I too struggle with the same but manage to keep up with my exercise routine. So what do I do exactly? Let’s find out.

The first two days of my cycle are difficult, hence I reduce the intensity of the workout. It is advisable to indulge in light exercises like walking, yoga or cycling. I don’t stop working out when I’m on my period because that usually gives me cramps or increases my cramps.  

I listen to my body and don’t indulge in high-intensity workouts such as weight training or going for a long run. If you have cramps you can also try some Yoga asanas that are known to relieve pain. 

I also drink turmeric milk while on my period. This helps reduce my period cramps without taking a painkiller. 

That’s how I get through periods! Listen to your body and take good care of it through it all.
