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 ��.
