You can do exercise and fitness during menstruation. Fitness itself will not affect women's menstruation, but a lot of strenuous exercise will have a certain impact, because sudden changes in people's exercise intensity will affect women's endocrine system, thus causing menstrual disorders.

It is suitable to do some small-scale sports during menstruation, such as gymnastics, table tennis, Tai Ji Chuan, jogging, walking in a straight line and other sports activities with little exercise, light intensity and mild movements, which can promote blood circulation and relieve abdominal distension and abdominal pain during menstruation. At the same time, it also helps to regulate the excitement and inhibition process of the brain, distract attention, maintain a happy spirit, and reduce discomfort such as menstrual tension and irritability.

Violent exercise during menstruation, such as high jump, long jump, running, playing football, etc., will induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea.
