Sport and rules: difficulties, benefits and preferred activities
Back to school is coming and with it, the resumption of sports ! Well motivated on your momentum, it would be stupid to stop everything or to put your sessions and your trainings just because you have your rules arrive !
Who, however, has never been exempted from PE lessons because of with medium flows ? Today, it's not the same anymore. You choose to do sport for fun, and not because you have to, like in your early middle and high school years. Sport should above all be a moment of relaxation, of happiness, a break for yourself in your daily life. Including when you have your period!
It would be silly to miss your squats/abs/glutes session because of your period! So which sport to prefer during your period? What hygienic protection adopt? Menstrual Cups ou menstrual panties ? What is the washable and reusable menstrual protection most suitable for physical activity?
Loulou is now playing down the report sport/rules. We also inform you about the benefits unknown to a good workout and also guide you on the physical activities to favor.
Sport & Periods: Not Easy for All Women
If this will not be a problem for some, for others it is far from obvious. Put on your sneakers and your leggings period day, it is simply unthinkable for some of us.
When we are bloated, when we know stomach pain, abdominal cramps, that we are tired, difficult to find the motivation necessary to produce physical effort. There is also a certain fear of accentuating the period pain already present.
Lack of energy, motivation, good mood, in short, nothing is aligned to get out of it tapis or his dumbbells !
Yet sport during your period is pretty cool
Once the barrier of leaks raised (thanks to the good hygienic protection), sport can bring you a lot during these few difficult days. In no particular order: serenity, joy, tone, calm, reduced pain, well-being.
In short, with sport, you feel better. You feel good in your body, in your skin and in your head. This is the case in normal times and it is even more the case during your period. Beyond 30 minutes of effort, the endorphins secreted boost morale and calm the period pain. You are proud of yourself, you feel strong and more confident.
Sport allows a better blood circulation, better oxygenation of muscles and organs. It is also an excellent way to avoid water retention and bloating. Sport also allows you to unwind, think about something else, let off steam, and relieve tension.
What sports to practice during your period?
During your period, you have to listen to your body and also your abilities. We are not preparing for the next Olympics! We are not talking about stats or times. We are simply looking for a suitable physical activity.
active walking
You are not a big one athletic ? Why not just walk? Take a bottle of water and go for a walk. Walking briskly and briskly wakes up all your muscles, improves your blood circulation. Your tension and stress are reduced. Why not meet up with some girlfriends to walk together? You can chat easily and not see the time go by! In the city or in the countryside, it really is the accessible, ideal and complete activity.
Do you like walking? Invest in a treadmill. It's the best investment you'll ever make, you won't regret it. Put on your favorite series and get your treadmill going!
Swimming
And why not a little splash? Thanks to our menstrual swimwear or our Loulou menstrual cups, you can secure the breaststroke lines without any problem without fear of leaks. The swimming relieves the back but also massages the belly sore. With the key, a great feeling of well-being and good fatigue when leaving the pool guaranteed!
Yoga
Le yoga, it is the star of activities to do during her period. But be careful, yoga is not for everyone. Those with a mobility limited will have difficulty following fluidly and holding the postures. This will then lead to more frustration than relaxation! If you still want to get started, do not hesitate to select a beginner's course, and especially one gentle yoga and not dynamic, at first.
fitness
And why not one session de fitness without cardio or jumping? You mobilize your muscles and work on your tone. During your period, perhaps favor an upper body focus session by concentrating on the arms, shoulders and pectorals. Gainage is also an excellent exercise to work your whole body without shock or impact.
