de-bunking woman’s fitness myths w/ their period

Myth 1: You Should Skip Workouts During Your Period

-Debunked: Nope, you don’t have to skip exercise just because it’s that time of the month. Working out can actually help with cramps and boost your mood. Those endorphins you get from exercise are basically natural painkillers, so don’t be afraid to keep moving.

Myth 2: Exercise Makes Cramps Worse

-Debunked: This one’s totally false. Gentle exercises like yoga, stretching, or light cardio can actually ease cramps by improving blood flow and reducing muscle tension. So, if you’re feeling crampy, a little movement might be just what you need.

Myth 3: You’ll Lose Too Much Blood to Work Out

-Debunked: It might feel like a lot, but the average blood loss during a period is only about 2-3 tablespoons—not enough to drain your energy. As long as you stay hydrated and eat well, you can totally crush your workouts.

Myth 4: You Can’t Make Progress While on Your Period

-Debunked: Your period isn’t going to stop you from getting stronger or hitting your fitness goals. Hormones might affect your energy levels, but they won’t stop your gains. Some people even feel stronger during certain parts of their cycle, so don’t let your period hold you back.
