10 min Workout on Period! Best Exercises During “That Time of the Month” to Help with PMS
Video taken from the channel: Emi Wong
Brandon Marcello, PhD, believes one of the main benefits of exercise while on your period is the endorphin release and workout “high.” He also said that since endorphins are a natural painkille.These are just a few of the benefits you could experience while exercising during your period. In addition, general physical fitness is important for female health and can reduce the risk of serious medical issues as we age.
These diseases and conditions include heart attack, stroke, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes.(Typical menstrual cycles can last from 21 to 35 days, but they always begin at the first sign of your period.) Training during this crucial time period can yield greater power, strength, and muscle mass than any other time of the month, according to a new study from Umeå University in Sweden.Walking during periods increases circulation as well as endorphin level – your bodies feel good chemicals.
It also helps to reduce tension in your abdomen, lower back and legs too. Experts all agree that regular exercise can help reduce uterine cramps by relaxing the muscles around that area.Benefits of exercise during period You may notice that, when you’re on your period, you feel more lethargic and less energetic. This is due to the fact that both progesterone and estrogen are at their lowest during your period. Often this leads women to avoid the gym completely during menstruation – but this may not be a good idea.
The endorphins released during workouts reduce the perception of pain and moving your body gets your blood circulation going which helps reduce menstrual cramps. Exercising is also known for reducing your levels of stress and anxiety, which can then decrease.If you don’t get tired while doing an abs workout during your period, or other kinds of gym workouts during periods, fatigue probably won’t be an issue. On the other hand, there’s no reason to power through intense or long workouts that might be a bit more challenging for you during this time of the month because of heavy bleeding, pain or.The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week.
Also aim to do strength training exercises of all major muscle groups at least two times a week. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day.When it comes to exercising during your period, it’s always best to listen to your body.
If the cramping and bloating has rendered you bedridden, give the day’s sweat session a miss. But if you feel up to it (because there are really good reasons to exercise during your period ), here are seven workouts that you can do.Examples: stretching in bed, light yoga, walking Follicular phase (the week or so after bleeding) – Hone your building energy during this time of the month by trying out new classes, engaging in more social types of exercise like dancing, or simply get really into your regular routine.Many women wonder whether it is OK to work out during their period.
The answer is easy: Yes! In fact, you may find that you can be more physically active and at a greater intensity at certain times of the month than at other times.Exercise during your period because, contrary to popular belief, this is beneficial for your body as it helps reduce menstrual cramps and other period symptoms that affect us on those days.
Among the main benefits you will receive by doing sports during your menstrual cycle are: Reduction of abdominal pain and you’ll tolerate the discomfort better.These bursts of vigorous activity fall under the category of high-intensity interval training or HIIT.
Alternating between moderateand high-intensity intervals in a workout allows you to burn calories and improve your cardiorespiratory fitness in half.A little bit really can go a long way. Research continues to emerge supporting the notion that small bouts of exercise accumulated throughout the day may provide many of the same benefits as one continuous bout of activity, including improvements in aerobic fitness and even weight loss.Lower body exercises is great ways of inducing your period.
They stimulate the muscles in your stomach and pelvis, and get things moving. A exercise for your thighs is a major plus, also. Stand tall on your feet hip width apart and your arms down of your side.

OMG, thanks a lot for doing this video!!! I thought I should moderate my workout when I’m on my period but turn out that I was totally wrong. Thank you so much. Can’t wait for my next period to come so I can lift heavier weights:D
Abby today in your new flexing video please show how to do crunches the right way?
when I do crunches I hurt my neck. what am I doing wrong Abby?
Ok I’m gonna do this workout during my periods. GARLSSS WE ARE STRONG ��
This is a good workout no doubt but not sure I’d recommend it for that time of the month. Period workouts should consist of slower movements and deep stretches. Exercises like this are great for the week after your period when your hormones are high and you get that burst of energy!!
I have to go to dance help
Edit:I will keep you updated later
woke up this morning, looked at my bed and thought someone had been murdered
Thank you for this Emi. Actually I was worried that I might not be able to do a workout during my period (which sometimes took 5 days long). With this video, I might be able to do a workout even when I’m on my period. Thank you for this. I’m consistently following all of your workout videos and I started seriously last week for the 4-week full body workout challenge. ❤️
Me: clicks on this video
Ad: delicious biryani and cheesy pizzas… order now!
Wearing neon or white durring your period….
Dude you’re bold.
I thought I was the only one who wanted to work out even while on period but guess not ; here’s to our healthy body (btw we are quite fortunate ones as our cramps are not as bad as most girls)
I workout like everyday bc I wanna get a scholar ship for collage. I pretty much over work myself and i was suppose to get my period 2 days ago. But it hasn’t come and I heard that over working yourself could delay your period. This would be my second time getting my period so I’m kinda new to this stuff
Why do male teachers always say “you had to go to the toilet in the break” like do we have toilet schedules or smth?? Or if they ask why you want to go??? Am I supposed to say “To change my bloody tampon:)”? Lmao fr now
Is this good exercise for amenorrhea?? Or not? Plz can someone suggest workouts for amenorrhea like me.
Thank you so much!!!❤️ while on my two non workout days my period popped up����
My first time watching. I love your intro and just your information and your voice! Haha thank you
I’ve been tracking my cycle for about a year now and use FAM to avoid pregnancy. I never thought about it but I do feel so much more hungry during me LP!
Is it good to relieve the cramps? I don’t know. I don’t try yet as my cramp is hurt as hell.
Thanks emi this is lovely exercise i was doing this exercise in my peariouds and i feel happy because i miss my exercise a lot in periouds ������������������
I feel horrible, like trash and my cramps are killing me……. Are you sure?����������������
Omg tq so much for making this video I was looking for this video love you so much��������
7 to 8 days: my period actually ends.
The rest of the time: tired and acne.
But I’m on the pill without break so it’s just kinda nothingness now����♀️ still tired and acne all the time tho.
I can’t even get out of bed because of the pain. I envy people who can workout during their period!
Just now I was just trying to do Emi’s abs workout
ᴍᴇ: maybe I can also do workout as usual (after a few min, )
ᴀʟsᴏ ᴍᴇ: no I can’t anymore��
The best channel I have ever found to be fit and energy full time….Thank you so much Emi^^
No I can’t do that on my periods. Neither should you.:) it will indeed cause more cramps. It’s better to do just walk on initial 3 days.
What did we do to deserve Stephanie Buttermore! #literalangel ✨����
Your hairstyle with the space buns remind me a little like Princess Leia from Star Wars ☺️ really cute!
So I am thinking if I am still going to exercise today because of the pain… I searched for exercise during period and found this ❤
I don’t think planking during periods is a healthy thing to do. Abs should be left alone during the period
Comment: Is anyone here in quarantine trying to glow up because they are really insecure about their body and also having their time of the month?
me: ����♀️
I’ve been following a 4 week workout programme and hate to break it but I’m in so much pain so doing this instead today. Great video, thanks:)
anyone feel like they’re explode when they try to engage their core? (metaphorically ofc)
I eat a lot on my period for a week like 3000-3500 calories on my period but don’t gain weight I still keep the same workout don’t worry about dieting on your period
Hi there, I wanted to ask. If I do this on my period and even off my period for like 2 weeks, do you think it helps with weight loss?
Shoot i cant so some of these off my period. Unless this time of the month gives me super strength gunna have to modify it a bit. Like regular planks.
��
Hi, Miss Emi! I am very thankful that your workouts helped me lose weight. I am diagnosed with PCOS wherein I don’t have a regular period evey month. But when I started using you tabata workouts for 2 months here I am having ny period. Thank you so much, Miss Emi. Keep inspiring others.
me: does a squat while on my period
my body: a waterfall of blood pours out
I woke up to it and I wasn’t wearing anything �� I’m pretty young but it’s the first time I’ve had bloating and discomfort �� How do you all do this??!!!
thank you for this, it really helps!! plus i feel less guilty about not working out so intensely, but it still gets the heart and muscles going!
Guys the exercice is little hard coz female seems to burn so much more calories when theyre on their period,keep pushing guys
I found so much difficulty in doing push-ups and burpees in my Normal days in period its like death����
forcing myself to get up and exercise. feelin down in the dumps due to PMS and cramping like crazy ;-;
Has anybody else been waking up on the Japan flag? Or is it just me?
It was my rest day yesterday and I thought I’ll do nice workout today but then I got my periods. I get cramps on first day. If its not too severe I can do these exercises today in the eve. Thanks emi ❤️
you know we are committed on getting that beach body when we are working out on our periods ��
Cramps: Haha I’m about to end this girl’s whole carrier >:)
Exercise: Ya sure about that?
Huh. I always get super into exercising and fitness during my period. �� like I’m always super fit during my period.
I did the first three exercises then I just couldn’t move anymore. Ughhhh I feel so helpless ������
I was watching this and my cramps are starting to relieve ��
y’all lasts for 3-5 days mines lasts a whole week, BUT WATER HELPS ������
I don’t know why but, I feel like this 10 minute is almost as hard as my normal 30 minutes workout. ��
It feels good. A little pain but the pain is always there… Loved the workout. Thankyou Emi ❤
Lousy video.. not for beginners…. this looks more like a promo vdo as no proper instructions. There far better & easy to follow vdos on youtube.
I just got my period today and was wondering how my workout routine is going to go tomorrow, but Bingo landed on this one!
Thank you soo much Emi!! Love your workout routines sooo much! ♥️♥️♥️
Also is it possible to make a longer version maybe a 15 min or a 30 min one as well?
wouldn’t it feel really uncomfortable working out on your period bc you’ll be sweating and it’ll feel extra wet down there and i just see all the blood smearing around
To all the girls that are working out during even periods: damn we strong
Well, found myself doing this workout today and turns out it’s possible on my period. It felt relaxing. Thanks
I’ve spent so much time reading The hunger games that now Glamor doesn’t seem right and Glimmer does
wait does that mean I
lost like five pounds and worked out before and it was because of my period, darn i thought i was doing good
If there’s any lady who can tell….how as a man we should treat you when ur in your periods to show how much we care for you?
I have been working out for years both with and without diet.
While everything you say sound right There is this one thing which is not so logical to me and women i know..
A couple of days before and Day 1 and 2 of the cycle while it hurts cramps almost 48 hrs. How can you be strong er and lift heavier.??
These 3 to 5 days are actually my weakest not Just because of pain and but alO as you say we tend to eat sless calories in that period.
I Will appreciate respons and objektives
��
each lines are true… thank you so much doctor for a wonderful suggestions ��…..loads of love ♥️
Hm I’m pretty much dead on my period so I feel like I might just injure myself if I try to train hard so that seems like really weird advice to me.
Very Useful information, it needed, Thank you Doctor for guiding��
Working out while quarantine but have period so here you are
Can I go for simple squats that I usually do? If there is any danger please let me know.
I wish there there vids like this for people in hormonal birth control. It isn’t the same of as predictable, but the ways that each dose of whatever changes your body in relation to workout and such would be super awesome.
i have to go somewhere and wear a bathing suit in 5 days and i was in the middle of a 2 week workout plan and now it’s ruined i have 7 days left of it and i’m leaving in 5 days i’m so mad and i just got my period
Im down about 10-12 days… this means i have no choice but to freaking working out min of 5 days if im going to be out for that many days. Which by the way always causes me to not go back! Ugh
I hate my period. I don’t have cramps but I have a lot of discomfort and it feels like I’m bloated and I can’t move around:((((
What motivates me to weight-lift during is the fact that it lightens my period up sooo much ���� the very 1st day of my period, im a potato lol. Luckily I get so nauseous that I can’t eat junk foods during
My back just hurts way to much when I work out during my period. I just got have like a rest day on my second/third day otherwise I’ll just be cranky.
Me:coming here to know what to workout when I’m on my period
Her:gives me motivation by dressing in red
Thank god I graduated highshool. Being forced to participate in gym class when I was overheating on my period was miserable!! Thanks for the video lol very informative
Am on day three on my period so one more day till my period ends
That’s true. Usually I never worked out while being on my period but I did today and I felt so much better!!! Especially drinking lots of water
How did the YouTube algorithm know I was on my period….
��
GOD DAMNIT NOW I DON’T HAVE AN EXCUSE
I wish guys knew how much pain cramps and periods have physically and mentally then maybe most of them would treat women with more respect: (
B4 I get my period I always hungry, lazy & I feel like I just wanna rest all day & again I get so hungry! Also, I get back pain, dizziness & moody lol I started exercising a fee dsys ago & I dont feel like doing it since my back hurts so much from my period. But I will try cuz It feel so good to work out
It’s so unfair that we have to go through all of this each months and guys get nothing
Madam I’m a stroke patient before…now I almost recovered my health.but my left side leg& hand are paralyzed. l can do some natural exercises. even I did some I hat lots of pains..can I do exercise during periods?
I dont work out the first 4-5 days of my period. Because of my insanely heavy period i cant move. I sit up and draw all Day and do online classes because i cant even go to School.
1:50 everytime lately for the past few months now I noticed I get super hot this is making sense now
Mam muje puch na tha ki jogging karne se achaanak period aagay h to ab kya kare jogging kare ya nahi kare
2:54 decrease of motivation?? For me it’s like the other way round. Suddenly I get totally hyped and over-motivated from one minute to the other and I start to make workout plans and think about healthy eating and what I should do this week, how I could be productive, I want to learn Instruments and how to cook and to write songs and stories. And then I look onto the calendar an think: Oh, so it’s almost that time of the month and I stop myself from all the planning because I know that once my period has started, I won’t be able to do anything, besides laying in bed like a dead fish, and sleeping after school.
when I’m on my periode I’m so bloated that I can barely walk. Cute outfits are out of question since my belly gets a size or two bigger
I have track and where not allowed to use the bathroom because we can’t go in the building, we have to crawl under the fence and go in the bushes…
Finally see a video about period exercise with some citations. Most video just try to motivate me to exercise without any science based research.
Thank you thank you so much for this amazing video. I am not sure if I’ll burn necessary amount of calories, but post workout definitely has me feeling energetic, fresh and less sluggish. This is really the myth buster, and satisfies my mind into thinking that periods isn’t blanketing the work I put in pre period days to burn those Cals. Definitely, helped my mind more than just my body. Thanks a lot! ❤️
The space buns look great. I always thought redheads couldn’t wear red, but the red outfit looks good on you. Thanks for the workout on period advice.
1-2 days before my period I have a huge urge to workout, that’s when I know it’s coming. I use it to help me get started working out
I am menopausal but have cramps. Trying to get up to go to the gym… In the rain ��
Thank you so much Dr. For spreading those words bc i’m on my period
Did this after doing yoga for menstrual cramps and now I’m feeling much better! Thank you.
This is completely random, but you kinda remind me of Valeria Lipovetsky ��.
If I’m not on birth control, I get slight hot flashes and chills depending on the time of the month
Space Bunns are cool. Very ‘girl next door’ whilst still being tasteful.
I can barely move on my period especially with cramps and you expect me to exercise!? Yeah I’ll stay in bed and ride it out thank you very much!
at 9:28 she does the lifts without weights, then the weights miraculously appear in her hands, What’s up with that???
I really don’t like to lift heavy on the heavy days of my period. I always feel a huge gush coming down and I freak out thinking it’s showing through my clothes. It’s just so uncomfortable. Too many bathroom trips. ��
Ovulation is actually the phase when you are most fertile. It is characterized by watery cervical mucus and a more open and distended cervix. Menstration is when your period occurs.
The thing is for me it’s gonna be a little hard because I use pads so when I work out or try to work out my pad is gonna move around….
I just recently discover your page, love your videos��, please do one about stomach vacuum ��
Bros I do jujitsu (martial arts) and it’s the worst bc I need to wear a whole uniform and roll around upside down and whatever but it’s fricking nerve racking bc I always feel like it’s gonna leak lol. I ask my mo. If I can skip it and she completely ignores the fact that it can leak and said “just take aspirin u will be fine” and she makes me go������ SOMEONE HELP IDK WHAT TO DO and before u say “USE A TAMPON” no. Those are scary asf and I don’t even have then anyway.
What can I, as a 12 year old, do to get my periods back after getting fit?
Such a Great Video! Thank you for sharing, lots of tips to take away for this gym jumkie. I lift heavy but the week before my period I am weak AF, i will certainly take away some adivce from this video for the next cycle.
I want to be a personal trainer. I can’t do that yet until I help myself. I am trying to reach some fitness goals myself, be toned, and stick to some healthy dieting plans. I guess I’m asking how do I help myself and then how do I become a personal trainer and be different from other personal trainers?
I love you �� you’re so real.
I absolutely hate my damn hormones and the pain ughhh
I just can’t work out on my period or when I’m sick which both are my current situation lol
Thank you so much for this! I can’t believe that this type of info is FREE!!! I have the whole series and I learned a lot. ��
On a second note WHERE THE FRICK DID YOU GET THOSE ALIEN SOCKS. thanks.
With your amazing jawline, the space buns are a perfect look for you. I have a slightly rounder face and usually space buns dont look as good unless I do a really good contour (well not now since I chopped my hair off) but you have literally the perfect face that hair style.
Abby, what’s the benefit of doing some of the exercises on the floor vs on the bench?
thanks for this video i’m a man and was curious to know why there was less women than men in this “fitgame”, and now i realized that i know nothing about women hormone struggles. so thanks for the insight, hoping to know more.
I love the hair and mascara!
I grew up with a wives tale that, you never lift heavy with on your period. I’ve always wanted to know if that was true.
Was hoping that this was going to mention a bit about the feminine products of choice for different workouts. Like cups, thinx, tampons, ect. Still havent found my foolproof combo.
Ovulation is not when you bleed? That’s the release of your lil eggies so you can get pregnant. It’s probably just a miscommunication! (Just want to help you) I do like the rest of your video!
Abby how do you do crunches the right way?
please show me how in your new video today.
I am on my period ATM
And at grandmas house
Basically carb loading
Abby today in your new flexing video please show how to do crunches and the sides of the abs.
Hey, girlie! I don’t know you if you know, but I have seen some Fabletics Ads using your video about different leggings. I don’t know if you consented to your words being used for promotional use, but I have seen it used as mid/end roll ads.
I just had my first period, not looking forward to the rest..
Yeah I would say two good weeks out of every month really the rest is just spent crying a lot and questioning my actual existence and meaning in the cosmos. Periods can be soooo much to handle. Its exhausting, working out does help tho! I think getting some cute outfits will help tho, I’m gonna try this.
What about women how dont have much of an actual period? Some contraceptives change how regular they get it, or not get it for that matter
Thanks for talking about your period-guys need to know more about it and how you feel and how it affects your everyday life. I wish more women would talk about it. Very nice presentation especially w/ the graphs.
Lol this just showed up in my reccomend after i screamed I HAVE MY PERIODDDDD!!!!! Thank you youtube still didnt help though, So thank you next.
I was about to change my workout schedule so my lightest week is during my period. Thanks for the science though, now I’m gonna keep it the week before I try to hit PRs
Hi Abby, I have a question idk where I should leave this to insta or here.
Im curious whats the fine line between GAINING A MUSCLE to GAINING WEIGHT?? I hope you took this in the videos to come. thoo I’m in a flexible dieting, I wanna know if Im doing it right or not. I feel like Im LOOSING WEIGHT THAN GAINING A MUSCLE. kind of a big struggle right now.
i just realized i went running about two weeks ago on a really hot day (28C) and i barely made it home. i was also a week short of my perioids. oopsie! glad i didn’t take my dog with me that day.. i never would when it’s that hot outside..
I take the first 2 days of my period as rest days for that week every month. My cycle is ridiculously heavy the first two days so training is not an option. Also i have NO energy and usually sleep all day when i get home from work. Once day 3 comes, its business as usual lol back to the gym ����♀️
Everyone told me best thing about being pregnant is no period. I’ve have cramps and spotting the whole pregnancy ��due in 3 weeks
Super thanks Emi��I thought no one would think of this and will just have to explore myself
My wife turns into a crazy nympho during this time. I’m like a small dog that’s being strangled and crushed by a anaconda.
Me bc I have three Chole ting workout’s to finish ������
I learned quickly to NEVER wear WHITE leggings to the gym while on my period ��������
After watching Bret Contreras’ hip thrust form videos, whenever I see someone’s head and shoulders bobbing back and forth while performing hip thrusts I can’t help but immediately think their form is wrong lol. He does them in a way where your hips go up and down, but your head and shoulders stay stationary. It’s ALL hip movement and it’s a glute KILLER. It changed my hip thrust game for sure. Highly recommend watching a few of his videos on the maneuver.
To everyone wondering about what specific kind of exercise to follow
We can do all types of exercises during our periods. It just depends on how we feel and how our body responds to it. Exercise helps to ease pain and it has helped me personally a lot. I do HIIT and cardio while on my period too and it helps me ♡
What about if you have herniated disc? Can you ever workout again?
Wow Abby. I have been watching you for years now, and you always stun me with how beautiful you are.
I don’t know if you already talked about this, but i would really like video about how to build and tone your body without having to do heavy lifting or going to the gym, because i really want to get fit (the bigger but smaller waist ��) but i don’t have acces to a gym, only some light weights, thanks☺️
Could you do a video on underwear? Best ones to wear while working out, if you should or shouldn’t? I typically wear them with colored leggings but if I have black shorts or leggings on I skip them completely.
Me watching this with cycles that are very light, only last 2-4 days, and on top of all that… don’t get cramps: ������
9 year olds watching this be like-
so when I have my periodIm gonna have to do all that?
Omg I dont even know how y’all do this.. I’m ending my period soon but then there’s still a flow making me very irritated so I can’t even do excerises omg.
I was planning on working out but then my period came. But then I see this it’s ok to work out on your period. Also my period I would love to stain all your clothes. ������
Am I the only one who works out while on my period and my cramps get more worse??:| I hate it
Does this mean that powerlifting routines like 531 don’t work well for women? Since 531 increases in weight/difficulty for 3 weeks with the 4th week as deload. Or is it possible to change the program somehow to cater to these hormonal changes?
Amazing! I have often made a joke about how I have 1 good week in a cycle (maybe 2) where I feel at my optimum self! This is great information and I will definitely use it moving forward! Thank you!
But what if our period is heavy and when you go to gym and workout,you stain ur pants.That would be embarrasing.
So apparently our uterus want us to get pregnant 450 times in our entire life and it will take revenge if not.
Great.
Idk if it’s me but whenever I have my period I always have rashes especially down their idk if that’s normal
Every time before my period, I get a breakout of acne, every. Single. Month. So. Far. So the skin glowing part is non existent ��
I rests for first two days than I continue with exercises….
me sleeping with a pad;
when i wake up;
sleeping with a red pad that used to be white.
me;
��
To the boys who are watching this… what are doing here you’ll never relate
This is only for regular periods. Irregular periods are so much more annoying and weird and mysterious
Are there a lot of irregulars here?
“days 3-5 period ends”… MINE ENDS IN 7 DAYS AND IM STILL SPOTTING A LITTLE!
My grandmother made me believe, I can’t workout during my period, It sucks I miss my daily workout, now I have an excuse ��
I usually do some exercises during my period because it gives me relief
Have a wash after doing exercises is a haven for me during those days ���� but I have no idea that there are proper or improper exercises ������
I got my period today and I tried to do a workout I normally do everyday and I cramped up so bad I like fell on the carpet
im sorry but my period does NOT end after 3-5 days! more like 7-9
This so inaccurate! Why are they making periods seem glamorous like there something we should look forward to.
How to get rid of the period forever: get pregnant everytime
14 days I have periods, can I workout this days? Pls suggest
WHOS PERIOD ONLY LASTS 5 DAYS. MINE LASTS TEN DAYS, USUALLY LONGER
Ya’ll are lucky. You get to stay in bed and eat chocolate when your on your period. I have to do ballet which involves split jumps and high kicks.
Abby! Have you seen Bret contreras’s videos where he legit holds the person’s head so it doesn’t move throughout a hip thrust? It’s changed my hip thrust ngl
You move from the sternum down and keep your head positioned straight.
So, im currently on my period.. and day 1-3 are the worst for me. I have moodswings, cramps, im hungry.. but actually not. I’m currently laying in my bed, thinking about olives and chocolate.. But honestly, even tho I feel like dying.. My boyfriend is trying to do as much as he can for me right now. Which I think is cute.
Okay, this totally makes sense, I feel freakishly energize during my menstruation cycle, I feel less fatigue than in the 2 weeks before my menstrual cycle. Thank you for enlighten me!
I did not learn any of this in school.
You look beautiful and your hair style and colour is amazing ❤��
For me all of this happens in 1.5x speed since mine lasts for a day.
Wish me luck my period is in 7 dayssss
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Funny I already noticed the pattern that as soon as I am done with my cramps I start to have my best trainings for two weeks both with strenght and flexibility which also helps of course my skill trainings and then closing up towards my period start I already started to accept that I will not have to push myself the most or expect the best results but just keep going
I’m watching this on my 2nd period, it’s nearly the 4th day already seemed so fast tbh but the 1rst day seemed like only discharge until the 2nd day
Everyone be like: oH my gOsH jUsT sEeInG tHe bLoOd iS sO dIsgUstIng
Me: nope, it’s the smell that kills me.
This video is great and I learned a lot but what I love most is your mug that says Dr. Buttermore. I love that you’re a badass who’s proud of their accomplishments, both physically and mentally
I appreciate this video so much. I’m an intermediate lifter and after getting frustrated with “randomly” losing 25 lbs to a whole plate of lifts on certain days I finally was like…omg every time that happens it’s period week. Lol. So I started tracking my cycle with my PRs and I can definitely hit lifetime PRs during ovulation. It seems obvious now but at the time it wasn’t. Ovulation is when T, and E is raging. Menstruation is almost zero hormones. So I switched menstrual week to rest days on cramp days (surprisingly working out makes my cramps way worse and the internet says it shouldn’t) and then I do high rep low weight for the rest until my hormones kick back in…about 5-7 days. Just seeing that other women are aware of training around their cycle makes me feel better lol. It’s normal and not talked about much!
We were doing something in class and we had to workout so i whispered to my teacher i cant im on my period she said u still can then we went to the hall so other ppl won’t hair but she said its better to exercise but i wear pads so i think it would gush out
Swimming?? Seriously??�� Well then, who would take care of the blood in the pool water??? I am certain nobody would like to swim with the girl who is on her periods in the same pool..��
Boys on snapchat: if girls don’t like having periods then just don’t do it! Do what makes you happy ❤️❤️
I’m 48 and thought I knew everything about periods, wrong! This really has helped me understand why I have more energy at certain times of the month. I’ve learned to just accept how I’m feeling instead of fighting my body. Thanks so much �� really enjoy your channel
Question though, if you put your body through stress (workouts) you build cortisol, with a bit too much cortisol and ovulation cannot happen. So can you expand on this please? Cortisol and delay of ovulation because of workouts, specifically intense workouts?
Mam I am using apple cider vinegar for weight loss can I use in periods time also please reply
Can we run
Bcoz if we run then the flow increase…����
O
My own experience ��
Day 3-5: your period ends
Day 9-10 in my period: BAHAHA bish you thought
as soon as she mentions get outside and swim, I just want to jump in the water right away. lmao
I have a question, if anyone can answer I’d be very grateful. My period was supposed to come Friday, it’s a few days late. I have had my period for about 10 months. Will my period still skip since I’ve only had it for 10 months? And what can I do to miss the months period?
I give myself a 2-4 days break during my first days of period bc. I just don’t have energy at all. It’s like I’m having the flu, with cramps, headaches and a super heavy flow, that gets even worse when I exercise. It just sucks!
Mam can I do squats and lunges, pushups during period please tell me
Ummm you seem like a highly intelligent person… All periods are not the same..COLORS/WHITE on your period???? �������������� Giiirrrllll bye. Lol. Love your videos though.
I dont even step up also from my bed during periods bcoz i feel very uncomfortable nd uneasy��
This was pretty eye opening and very interesting. Great presentation too.
Istg the moment I decide to jump into a workout, my period pops out of nowhere like, “Nope not today.”
I lost it at eat healthy
I literally will eat a burger and milkshake
What about if you have heavy pain during your period? I feel like this does not apply to me, I actually feel way weaker during my days:(
Thank you for this detailed info, I do feel like cheating on my diet when I am on periods. I just feel those are my cheating days why would I do that?
Hmm sorry but for me this is not a workout for period.
When we have period we are tired all the body feels loud
It’s not exercices with cardio or jump we need but soft isolations
I really don’t recommande this one
I wear pads when I’m on my period. Does anyone have advice on how to hide it when wearing leggings? I usually dont wear underwear when not on my period…
My periods get light if i exercise. Even walk. I already have light periods. Can i skip exercise.
Awwww she looks so much younger here. Her weight real made her “womanly” not to be derogatory ��
Stephanie I know I’m late to the game but.im catching up on ALL your videos! This is SO helpful and removed a TON of guilt from me. I was beating myself up about feeling sluggish during pre-period workouts and now I feel I have permission to take it a little easier and go with my body. Thank you for being awesome. ❤
simply recommended me coming here and she’s like our mum so I had to check it out! i’m glad I did..
man: what did you say to me?
women:I’m on my follicular phase I’ll fuck you up don’t test me
man:it was just a question honey
Hi! So rich video. Please do a video about menstrual cycle and intermittent fasting.
Am I the only one that gets really hungry at the start of their cycle? Like I actually cant stop eating
Abby I’m not sure if you’ve ever talked about this in a video but could you discuss how to deal with grip strength (or lack thereof) with exercises like deadlifts? I’m so frustrated that I can’t go above an 80lb fixed bar on deadlifts without feeling like I’m going to drop it!!
I’m literally watching this as I’m eating a veggie sandwich and chips….. cramping and wondering why I’m so hungry at 8pm.������������
I’m wondering for educational purposes only, do oral contraceptives have an impact on this information that you’ve provided regarding when to do strength training and volume training? If so what is that effect?
I’m watching this because I. Am. So. Tired. Literally ate cookies and Mac and cheese and am ready to go to bed and it’s 6pm. The week before my period
Btw girls
Facts: When you workout and diet you take your period easier: less or no pain, less blood, less days better emorions
idk it just works for me
I wish I could lift heavy on my period. I can barely move the first 4 days of my period. I generally don’t train when I’m on at all, which is depressing. Maybe you can do some workout vids for us women with bad period pains so we can still get some benefits.
Yes!!!! I started looking into this trying to find out why I kept having that overtrained ‘i need a deload week’ feeling every 4 or 5 weeks. I’m so pleased to have found this out. Ive now overhauled my training programme. Wish me luck. Thank you for disseminating this info. I hope it will help more women realize that its probably not laziness, just hormones.
I have never heard of ANY fitness guru talk about PMDD. I was beginning to think I was part of an invisible group of women. I suffer immensely from PMDD, so much that I take two antidepressants to combat it.
This was soooooo good!! Going to binge on the other videos in this series. Thank you!
I search for this topic only because it’s that time for me, I’m actually taking a few days off because the way I’m feeling I could not workout, I dont get cramp, but the Yaki feeling down there, the bloat, the blood flow etc. I do believe at the beginning of your monthly one should not feel pressure to lift weight or workout in any form or shape untill the last few days, that sound better.
Thank you SOOOOO much for this. Can you please also touch on cardio and your period. For all the swimmer and runners out there:)
I’m on my period! And I’m laughing my ass off reading these comments ��������
I did Chloe tings ab workout on my second day, is it okay to workout?
Great information! As a woman who trains regularly, I can definitely relate! Thank you so much for sharing❤
Thanks, but i’m starving during my first week of my period especially while I’m on it.
That completely syncs with my experience and tracking! Thanks ������
“[…]HELLO, not trying to have baby!”
Literally me talking to my uterus every time my period comes around.
I’m a “newbie”, been on and off the gym for a while. I’m trying to make myself a program so i wont feel lost and not make progress which has been my issue in the past. This was EXTREMELY helpful! thank you!!
Wow I love to learn how my body works and your video was extremely helpful
But what happens if I feel the weakest during my period week, also I feel a lot more pain during it, leading to a lower performance:(
I was just wondering if there were any fitness videos for my period and boop steph’s video is recommended ����������
Thaaaaaank you! I’ve had a couple of consecutive cycles where in the days immediately prior to my period, I had significant strength and performance loss. I was afraid I was imagining it, misinterpreting the information, or just moving backward. Your video helped me to correlate my cruddy workouts with hormones, and that is encouraging and an absolute relief!
All I’m thinking about is doing my heaviest during my period, that would be total crime scene lol
Great great content! I experience all these during my entire cycle
I am not a professional personal trainer, but I am the coach for my wife. So I am here. Thanks so much for making this video.
Thank you! The specificity of information is so helpful. I’m going to watch this and take notes so I can tailor my workout plan. Totally getting The Women’s Book!
I’m scared to get my period because my mom said it always happens randomly for your 1st time ��
Please tell me I’m not the only one that watches these even tho I’ve never gotten my period. just doing thing to get prepared.
When I worked out on my period I was in such pain afterwards I crawled into my bed and urged myself to pass out. It really depends on the individual, but it’s okay if you don’t work out on your period at all. I generally get terrible cramps and trying to exercise on top of it is horrible idea for me.
This was the first video I watched of emi’s, that got me more into my fitness journey, at that time I had the food thing down pact, but I didn’t even know what an Ab exercise was, I just needed something to stop the cramps. Now I am here years later to reminisce and be active during mensuration (I usually do regular work outs during this time) and I’m so glad you have been a big part of my journey thanks emi������
Eventhough this video was like a year ago, I’m amazed by your content that are full actual facts. Very inspirational, on how much work you put on to make this video. Thank you
This is my first time seeing your page! I’m a biotechnology major and very passionate about weightlifting. So, I love your scientific approaches❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Keep doing you!!!!
Birth control would disrupt the results on these studies, yeah?
I start going gym and this is first time in my life period starts before 15 daya now m confused i should go to gym or not.
The week before and after is when i feel the weakest? Are they sure.
I am one or two days away from my period and i couldn’t even lift 10kgs. What the feck? ��
Beauty brain and body!you have it all!����������you really inspires us!love your video ������
Woww just what i was searching for, i have PCOS and my ginecologyst prescripted me Spironolactone and ive been training since september and its ups and downs on my mood and gym motivation,i think my hormone imbalance doesnt allows me to gain the muscle mass and loose fat what i would like to
I either lose my appetite or it’s massive it’s different every time for me.
I just wanna know if I’ll still see results because I gain a lot of weight and bloat so I feel like i won’t lose weight:(
Me who has a PCOD problem
Oh its been like 62 days and still counting since i had my periods������
I just saw this video like 4 time trying to memorize all this info to share with my friends!! This info is great!! thanks!
I find I want chocolate Lol. Thats about it and a bland dinner. I run but take it easier.
Anyone having cramps while watching this? I’m too weak to do this…
This is so freaking helpful! I’m a runner who is beginning to break into weight training, and I have always found that I’m able to push myself to run a higher amount of mileage (usually +2mi) during the follicular phase/ when I’m on my period, and I’ve always been curious as to why. When I first started running competitively, I would get discouraged when my body wouldn’t react as well to running high mileage, but still crave a carbo-load a lot more during the luteal phasewhich never made much sense until now! Thank you thank you!!
I have a trampoline competition in two days and I have training today as well. But my period just came and I don’t know what to do.
I’ve just figured out the hard way to not do any crazy was cardio on my first few days of my period.
Now I think I’m going to do something similar to you but at home so I can see what my body wants / doesn’t want while on my period before bringing it to the gym!!!
So it means we can workout during our periods?? Like abs exercise, belly fat?
I got my period when I was 12 then i lost for a year… I got a eating disorder and didn’t eat much like 500-800 calories a day I weighed like 69 pounds in March and now I weigh 85 pounds I got it back a few days ago I was so surprised.
Ok I’ll go to the gym today instead of staying home eating my left overs and laying in bed all day besides I am finally seeing results
I have taekwando in 1 hour and im on my period,i really wanna go fight but im afraid of gettinf stained
Let me summarize this video.
“Can you workout even if you’re on your period?”
YES YOU CAN.
Currently studying for pharmacy boards and I’m on the topic of the menstrual cycle and I just remembered this video ❤️
She: unaffected by the exercise.
Me: wheeze face red can’t get up
Its like impossible for me on the 1st day of period, the cramps is killin me.. but i could do it on the 2nd day and the next…
I dont mind working out on my period but wearing a pad makes it so uncomfortable especially on a heavy flow
Me: working out for abs during quarantine
But PERIOD
Looks like I was never meant to have abs
True I have noticed I eat more in the weeks leading up to my period.. this is great info!
Yo I’m on a diet and workout program and I did a workout this morning and it hurt so much but I pushed and did it because I’m really trying to loose weight. I was in so much pain after and I haven’t been able to get up all day and I’m in a lot of pain.
Yes! Love this! I just read the book the Cycle Syncing method by Alissa Vitti. It was mind blowing to me! Did you read that?
Okay! I like the video but I thought you were going to talk about what do tampons you use to feel comfortable during your w.o. I’ve been trying to find this answer because even though the tampons are big I still don’t feel comfortable. �� I need help!
Super awesome content! My question is what if you do workouts besides lift weights?
This was what I was thinking of when I didn’t have the same energy at the gym today. Just gonna exercise more next time
I do workout on my period but I look fat af when I’m on my period
I am watching this after doing my workout routine just to make sure that it’s safe ����… I’m glad it’s safe ��
I watched this bcoz i have my period but i still want to do some exercise..
Me seeking out this video: I should work out today
Me after watching: I don’t like being pressured into working out so I’m gonna stay in bed and eat cookies
Hey. I am a 24 year old guy, I dont really watch your videos because your content is not really geared towards me, but I ended up watching your boobjob video through a bit of a strange journey. I have for as long as I can remember been very firmly against changing what nature gave you (male or female) in order to try and achieve self love.
I see you have turned off comments on that video, which really makes me a bit sad, because I wanted to tell you that the courage you showed in that video to be brutally genuine and honest about your choice, and the fact that you did it from a state of self love because you wanted it, really changed my perspective a lot. For some reason it never crossed my mind that you can decide to make a change like that, not because you feel like you need it, but just because you want it.
Thank you for that video. And I am terribly sorry you received so much shit for making it and your choice that you had to turn of the comments on it.
I really feel bad for missing out on my workout. But I get rashes in my inner thighs due to sanitary pads so I don’t. It’s always better to give rest to ur body for first two days instead of dealing with cramps plus rashes.
What do u use for birth control? I don’t really want to go on the pill since I’ve had issues before with my cycle (I didn’t have it for 3 years) I wanna go with a natural form of bc but idk if I trust tracking my cycle…
So, I don’t want my first day of school become the first day of period!!! But it’s happening
This entire video got me all wrong, my periods only last 2 days and I don’t get very bad cramps or anything. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not very fun, but mine aren’t this complicated.
But I still get that this video may apply to some people, just not me.
i think im gonna start working out on my period, probably gonna skip the first 2 days because the blood is too much. then i’ll work out. plus also gonna try to work out 5 days a week so it kinda works.
I have really really heavy flow plus every month I have anemia when in my period. I have horrible cramps and my body hurts so much. How in the world can I workout like that
Watching this for my girlfriend i never tought i’d do such thing haha! feelsgreat and informative thank you for the infos!
It is dangerous to do upside down positions during periods. Blood can halt and go backward and can cause, Toxic shock syndrome.
I legit just fell on the floor gasping in-between exercises, that’s how trashed I am right now ��. Awesome video though, really appreciated it. Now I feel less like a lazy potato
I’m on my period and the reason I’m watching this is because I have cheerdance practice later and is also looking for an excuse to tell my trainer.
yea so i worked out during my period and i started bleeding A LOT and it went through my pants:/
What about the week BEFORE your period? Thats when i just can’t…
For people who don’t experience very heavy flow, and dysmennorrhea maybe its possible but its not for everyone. As we all experience our periods very differently. Try out a few things even excercise. It did help some people so maybe it’ll work for you.
A big reason why I love working out is because of how it makes me feel. It puts me in a good mood. However, I have really heavy periods that are quite painful, especially on the second and third day and I have to skip the workout even though I really don’t want to. Because physically, my body doesn’t feel it’s right to workout. It’s not about being lazy! I feel pissed during my period that i can’t workout the way I want to. When my period is over, I’m excited to be able to go back to the gym and sweat it out.
imagine doing ab workout while in your period
one crunch = period flow
I have a VERY heavy flow today. So should I still do it? It’s just a 6 min. workout anyways.
I also post what I eat everyday on my instagram stories hope that would give you some meals ideas and tips!

Right after this went to work out hilltop made my cramps.worse!!
i just finished my workout and am on my first day of period, i feel SO DAMN good right now tbh, workout always boosts my mood EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
I always wanna work out even on my period but I wanna also lift weights but it makes me bleed way more so that scares me
I am crying i like to dance but today i just started woth my period so i and day after tomorrow is my dance class how will i go!!����������������������������
I’d love to see something in regards to training in menopause. I’ve been weight training since I was 18 but now in my 50’s. What kind of gains should I expect or can I aspire to? I feel like it is expected that things taper off BUT can I or should I still train as hard as I can? I’ve been also trying to focus more on the glutes (which wasn’t such a big focus in the 80’s) cuz I don’t want them to give away my age, LOL!
I have a problem with ordering Taco Bell when I’m on my period. I had to delete the app!
My fat girlfriend is using her period as an excuse to not workout ALL week. How the fuck do I tell her she’s full of shit and to get off her fat ass without being a cunt about it?
i am most active when i am on my period. then lazy for the rest of the month lol
I was planning to go for workout but ended up with period and watching this video rightnow…
i did every exercise and i‘m so donee but i do have to say my cramps are goneeeee��
I’m not having a baby this month so lets celebrate w a work out ladies (.)
Im gonna have a boss workout…5 min later ouch ouch ouch…noooo niagra falls
If i workout in my period,i.m gonna have a heavy flow and IT.s gonna last 7..8 days… i.ve been to the doctor,everithing IT.s fine…but that.s not for me
my period was over then today i was working out and did a squat then blood came out ;O
I have to strongly disagree with her. I workout regularly and rarely take a day off due to laziness or excuses. But on the heaviest day of my period, I let my body relax and have a cheat day. On my heaviest day, working out increases pain and I really feel better for taking that ‘me’ day instead. But all the other days of my period, I stay on my exercise schedule.
I barely walk when im on my period.. I mean in my two first days, and in the next days i wouldnt feel comfortable doing exercises so i take 6 days break from working out
Can anyone explain the phenomenon I experience where the 1-2 days leading up to my period, I’m extra enthusiastic, energetic, balanced, and my senses are more heightened? Those are always the best days of performance at whatever sport I am playing.
Right… I thought some stretching/light yoga would help reduce cramps but what about hormones effect? Will they help or minimize the work done for muscle building?
hi ms emi wong, just wanted yo ask if what is the best exercise to begin with and when was the best time to start focusing on one part of the body like butt exercise or leg exercise, i just watch a blog where you can start butt exercise when you are on your ideal weight because itmay only lead to a wrong body sahpe something like that. thanks in advane for the response��❤️
I really appreciate this video. I only started jogging two weeks ago. I’ve hated it my whole life and I’m just now starting to enjoy it. It’s made me feel so much better and I’ve already lost 10 lbs. However the thought of my period scared me because I know just how bad it would be for me to take a week off of jogging. All that progress gone. So I’m happy to hear it will probably make me feel better to actually jog. Thank you!
I started working out like two or three days ago and then I started my period for the first time, why when I want to loose weight I start my period? ��
Great video. Loved the space buns!! Ugh I’m on my period now. I’ll just watch the video and rest today. I’ll workout tomorrow when things slow down a bit ��
Its comforting to know even people like you aren’t immune to things like this
Oh good,because in my dream I could remember that I was searching in the internet and I came across that if u workout on ur period you’ll get pregnant then I woke up and I was forever scared that I could get….but thx!
I saw this for the first time when I still didn’t get my first period
And now I’m here after years
Biss where’s the fresh part? ����
I thought it is dangerous to aggressively move when on a period they said because it’s like you’re pregnant hahahahhaa, I thought of that in my entire life!!
Won’t we bleed a little more ( heavy) if we work out on our period
Is it ok if girl running 4-5miles for almost an hour as everyday does? Or running less during period? Thx:)
EMI gosh you madam is my fav when it comes to these type of videos you always have what I need thank you so much
When I’m on my period I don’t exercise at all, and I stay away from eating unhealthy too because we as women have those sweet and salty cravings while on our periods. As soon as I’m off my period I exercise hard twice a day up until my period comes again.
What are demerits of doing gym for girls? What bad impact it’ll put on health if some one doing gym but not maintain properly?? The day she hv started gym she got early period and from dt day almost everyday she is getting period after doing gym?? She should stop gym or is ds a common problem??
