Tips for Exercising During Your Period

Practical preparation for exercising comfortably on your period. The chapter starts with checking in on how you feel, choosing lighter activities such as walking or yoga when you are uncomfortable, and warming up properly. It covers choosing menstrual products that suit your flow and activity, including high-absorbency options and carrying spares, and the importance of drinking water before, during and after exercise, with a daily guide. Readers also learn how breathing techniques can support relaxation, manage stress and ease discomfort. The module ends by encouraging readers not to let myths stop them staying active during their period.
