Can I go running with my good friends? What girls need to know about road running

Menstrual period is a situation that all women encounter every month. Many women worry whether they can still run when their period comes. In fact, the key is not whether you can run, but how to run.

1. Adjust according to personal physical condition

Menstrual period is a natural law of hormone secretion. Many women often experience premenstrual symptoms such as dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, and irritability due to the influence of progesterone and estrogen secretion during menstruation. However, not every girl will show similar symptoms. Therefore, there is no definite answer. It still depends on the individual physical condition. If your body can bear it, there is no problem in running, but the estrogen and progesterone levels during this period are very low, so fast or long-distance running is not suitable; if your body is really unwell and even standing is difficult, of course you can't force it, and the right thing to do is to have a good rest.

- Ultra-slow running is good for blood circulation

Before menstruation, many girls will experience edema, chest swelling and other symptoms. At this time, they can engage in light activities such as ultra-slow jogging to make the body warm and promote blood circulation. During menstruation, unless you are very uncomfortable and need to rest in bed, you can use ultra-slow jogging to help discharge menstrual blood, but it is best to avoid the day of peak bleeding and avoid strenuous exercise. On the seventh day after the good friend, the body gradually recovers, the metabolism is the strongest, and the mental state is the best. At this time, you can run as much as you want and the weight loss effect is very good.

- Premenstrual syndrome can be improved by jogging

For women suffering from premenstrual syndrome, jogging can help increase the tryptophan in the blood, promote the serotonin level in the brain, and reduce anxiety and irritability. However, those who do not exercise regularly should control the amount of exercise and do not force themselves. They should stop as soon as they feel uncomfortable.

- Those with severe PMS should take a rest

For people with severe premenstrual syndrome, running may cause pelvic burden, aggravate menstrual pain and other discomforts, and even pull the uterus, causing excessive loss of menstrual blood. It is best to rest at this time.

2. Girls should not run during their first menstruation

A girl's menstrual bleeding is unstable and her body is still developing. If she does strenuous exercise during this period, it will have adverse effects on her body. Therefore, long-distance running is not recommended. She can instead do some gentle exercises such as jogging, sit-ups on the bed, stretching exercises, etc. to achieve her exercise goals.
