Can I Exercise on My Period?! (Dos & Don'ts) | Joanna Soh - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
i plan to do some exercise in period but when it comes then i feel like " no" 😁😆
Lol same here🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mahis44 same lol😂
Stretch if you can, listen to your body.
If this ain't me
Then I end up eating choclates and a tub of ice cream :")
how does TH-cam knows I'm on my period lol 😂
More like how Joanna knows you're on your period. 😂😂😂
Relate! 😂
Haha same!
Same
Hahahahaha same words in my mind right now 😅
I usually skip 1st 2-3 days of my periods . I'd feel little uncomfortable to do my workout . Thanks for the video 😊
Me too. I have bad cramps that don't even let me do anything and sometimes I'd have to take drugs to get any relief
Me too i can barely walk in the first day
@@chaimae3652 me too awkward exercising with the period so i took a break gor for 3 days
and for me, if i walk around or move a lot i get worse cramps. they get much more manageable when im just sitting down
True
when i'm on my period i feel out of breath, weak, i feel pain, i feel dirty, I lack confidence and I'm not capable of doing any exercise at all.
If so, do take a rest. At the end of the day, you got to listen to your body and do what’s best. Some will find that resting helps, whereas for some, doing some gentle exercises helps them.
You could have anemia apparently that’s a symptom. I am anemic according to blood tests but I can still exercise during periods...my specialist says I’m a medical anomaly as it’s not normal. Go get your bloods checked just incase 🤞🏽❤️
I feel dirty to sometimes try doing yoga instead maybe it'll help
Girl I feel you
it’s okay! u should rest and recharge !
I personally think this isn’t a question of “should/shouldn’t” or “can/can’t”, instead, we should listen to our body especially during that time of the month. I love what Joanna says here but I wouldn’t workout during my period just because she (or any other trainers) says so. Everyone’s body is different, and nobody can feel how you feel about your own body. I always take a 4-day break from exercising when I am on period (first 4 days), not saying I am just lying on the couch and do nothing, after all, I still have a life to live, but if my body is telling me I should rest, I rest. A lot of people (including this video here) say that exercising during period will help you feel better physically and emotionally, I tried and unfortunately that’s not the case for me, it intensifies my cramp and I bleed a lot more that makes me nauseous and faint. Nobody knows your own body any better than yourself, so listen to what your body tells you.
I agree with you I'm the same way. Only you will know what is right for you during that time.
Absolutely agree with you on that.
She never asked you to workout during your period. She emphasized on LISTENING TO YOUR BODY. Stop misquoting her
@@LoisDufegha I don’t think I misquoted her, she did mention to keep moving during your period and it will help how you feel over time. Also, I like Joanna too and I am a long time subscriber of her here on TH-cam and IG but that doesn’t mean I have to agree or compliment what she says every single time. We all have our rights to speak our opinion here as long as it’s not offensive, which I don’t think I have offended Joanna in any way here. I am only saying that I wouldn’t exercise during my period just because somebody says so and emphasizing that we should all listen to our own body, which is echoing her, if you would. I am not seeking agreement from anyone here so it’s totally fine if you don’t agree with me, but please do not misinterpret or twist what I said here as if I had wronged her, which I did not!
@@LoisDufegha and be mindful about your attitude and wording, don’t use the word “stop” as if I always misquote her! This is the first time I’ve ever commented on joanna’s post.
Wow my period just came yesterday and it’s exactly the question i asked since I’m on a weight loss journey. 😆
Me too
Hi fi 😉✋mee too
Try to follow these suggestions ok? ❤️
@@joannasohofficial what if your flow is really heavy, how can you exercise then?
Same
I- I literally just got my period 5 mins ago and I’m chillin on the couch- TH-cam is scary ;-;
Take some ibuprofen or Advil or hot tea or vapor rub on your stomach it made me feel. Better
Continue with exercise, but back off on the intensity, especially if you're feeling fatigued.👍
On my periods.. i was just wondering if i shud workout today🙄 Perfect timing😄
Yupp,, 2nd days
Still here without exercise. .😆😆
Same here!!
Yeah me too😅
Hope this video helps to answer some of your concerns. 😆
Same here today
I can't even walk when my period's here. I get really sore ankles and knees. Exercise is the last thing on my mind during the 1st 3 days of my period 😭
Same 😥
I experience cramps on my periods and my body will be weak all day. I try to exercises but my weak body resists.
I usually have sore knees but I'm recently experiencing sore ankles as well 😩 however I do continue my workouts just at a lower intensity
@@arathypa5805 when you do strength training in normal days then you feel no pain during period
Meanwhile me: running and jumping in period 😅☺️
I didn't believe my PE teacher in high school when she said exercise would help cramps. Years later, I believe her... still feel like crap but it does help! It's just a matter of getting myself to do it, and figuring out the exercises that won't aggravate my symptoms. This was really helpful, thanks!!
I still exercise during my period unless it becomes difficult. After, I feel much better though.
Yes! I used to have bad cramps but when I started exercising during I no longer had cramps and felt so much less bloated
Same here! And after some weeks of regular workouts, my period is somehow lighter than before. This is enough motivation for me to keep exercising haha
same thing!!!
The best channel I found on TH-cam for exercise and workout is this 👍👍👍
I’m so glad that you did an updated video of this! Thank you.
Hi Joannah . I would like to take this moment to thank you . I owe you a lot. Around 10 years, I was looking for some youtubers that make workout videos, and i RANDOMLY FELL ON YOUR ACCOUNT. You helped me a lot !! Ever since workout started being a part of my routine. I started running and doing pilates and yoga at home. It's been 10 years now, and as I randomly fell on this video again, I recalled a lot of memories. You were my very first coach. Your voice and your assertiveness really impacted me !! Thank youu !!!!
Everyone is definitely different, especially aging along. I was fine in my 20s working out the whole week on period but in the mid 30s now, symptoms have been developed stronger. Thought I could push myself on day two (stubbornness) and what she described as nausea and extreme body taxing causing even more fatigue was real. The overall take away for me is, listen to your body, don’t go extreme with high intensity, but don’t let the laziness take over completely.
I'm on my period, and this was my first day of watching your videos! Perfect timing!
I just got my period today😅 thank you so much joanna!
i can workout how i do normally on my third day and i'm very lucky that i can do that. i know lot of women are in HELL for a whole week T_T stay strong ladies
I was looking for a video like this so long ago and someone FINALLY made a whole video about it
tysm !!
very well said ! this sounds like it's in line with the infradian rhythm! love it!
Okay but your voice is so satisfying to listen to. Really motivates me to do what? Idk. Just motivates me
So informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing!!
I try to be very careful when on my period and "listen to my body", but I wanted to watch this video to hear what you had to say about the matter. This was really great.
Omg this is exactly what I wanted 😭❤️ joanna you are literally making videos which we want.. At the ri8 time....
Love you joanna ❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I was just thinking about this today!Thank you!💕
Thanks Joannah. I recently joined gym and I was confused. And I know I can trust only you.
Perfect Timing...! I needed this video so bad...!Thank you sooo much Joanna...!!!❤
Never been so early! Thanks for improvising our knowledge...great help🙏
Keep up the good work!🔥👍
Awww I've been waiting for this video!!!! Thanks Joanna!!
I cannot stress enough how your channel is empowering. I continue to share them with others. My number 1 coach. You go girl!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Really love it joanna,all your video is on point and very informative!
Thank you God for letting me feel the same even on my periods,thank you that my hormones dont mess me up during that time.
Thank you for this because i always debate on wether to exercise or not in “those” days. I have noticed that since I began exercising over a year ago, my symptoms are basically non existent and my periods are more bearable.
I was just waiting for this video .thank you Joanna.
this is so spooky but my period just came today and this is the first video that popped up on my feed 🤯🤯
Omg i just got my period and i'm torn between working out or not for tomorrow. Thank u so muchhh, Joanna!!! 💕💕💕
Most welcome! 💕💕
I bleed to much so I can't exercise.
@@hadashaross you can take a day or two off just walking for 10 -30 mins for the days you bleed too much ! Then once its better you can be right on track! Something is better than nothing!
same
I used to skip workouts during my periods until this other day I decided to do low intensifying workouts such as brisk walk and I agree it's all about listening to your body. Thank you for the video!
SO se shoudont Train whan we on period???
I didn't saw anyone like you because you give us correct answers. And I am a biggest fan of you love you Joanna ❤❤👍
Exercising during periods really helps with the cramps! You wouldn’t believe but earlier I used to have severe cramps but now my menstruating days are the same as any other day🤩
Yes yes yesss!!! 🙌🙌🙌 thank you for this video!
U don't waste time at all straight to the point ❤️
I have always loved you huhuhu thanks for the enrichment!
My period litrally came today and I needed this video
Thanks for the info coach joanna I really love your videos and I always do it. 😍😍
Oh My God, this is highly needed video
You are absolutely right. I used to stay in bed during periods which used to make it even worse. I then as an experiment continued my training during periods changing it to low intensity. And it was life changing. It helped me with my period pain, my mood swings and feel more active and happy ❤️
i think joanna soh is a mind reader i have my period today and thinking of skipping my workout 😅
i love love your new hairstyle!!
3 years ago you had opposite advice on the type of exercise. But i understand we learn and grow. Thanks for making the video
I love how you talk about doing SOMETHING while you're bleeding rather than nothing!
I love working out on my period, flow of blood feels like a river😂... And I feel very light after.
I suffer from soo much pain even though as a sports player, but I quit it from the past 5 years and my periods are worst now it hurts a lot, your information in the video is helping me soo much thank you.
Very effective video . Thank you !
During my periods, I keep it real light. I do yoga flow or pilates or both. I used to not work out during the week of my periods because I felt so drained and was in so much pain. But then I had to start all over again with my fitness level once my periods passed, so I started just doing light cardio for shorter lengths of time - like 20 mins or less. Depending on how I feel. It's actually helped reduce a lot of my symptoms over time. But of course, I still make it a point and rest too.
For me, another period symptoms I experienced was excessive sweating due to hormonal changes.
Loved the way you explained clearly and to the point🤗👍👏👏👏
Glad I found your blog love the strength training workouts. During my period. I only do upper body. Anything below the belt increases my flow. So I relax on those days.
I agree I love walking or doing home workout when am on my period and it helps a lot. Thanks for this tips ❤️👌
This is so true! I always feel better when i wo during my periods than when i'm not 👍
Insightful post! Thank you for the advice x
Thank you sis... I always think of this.. You help us out for a better life
Love you Joanna!! Please make more chair workouts like the one you did with your mom! It really helps people with lower body injuries, who still want to get a sweat session and stay fit! Pleaseee’
aawwwwww!! glad you enjoyed it.! I actually have another chair workout on my channel. Do check it out. It'll be a great progression. 😉
I usually take a whole week off when I’m on my period but still take walks and eating healthy. Not gonna force myself to workout super hard when i know I can exercise when it’s all over and give it 8000% 🎉
Usually I get cramps on first day! So mostly I try to skip but I try moving. But now I have tried your 3km indoor walk I feel good doing the exercise because my body is moving and I don't get cramps. Thanks to you❤
I am glad I found this video. I completed a low impact workout right before viewing this and I am on my first day now. I get pretty bad periods but I know if I move at a moderate pace it feels much better than doing nothing.
No high impact workouts just go for a long walk or do some static exercises like yoga which is what i advise my all students to do
So many people got their period today👀😂
Mee😩😩😩😩
I have a lot of homework today and my period started today 😒 and I have the dentist tomorrow
Hey army.....
Me :(
Me😄😄😄😄
Thank you! Finally, someone answers my question.
Such an informative video. Thankyou ❤️
I skip 3 days. Because i dont feel comfortable doing exercises on period
This is what I am searching for. You broke all the myths bit scientifically. It's always periods that break my workout cycle. Now my belly fat knew no bounds 😂 But quite motivated to start again and not to end the workout during periods. Great job done - Thanks for the video. 👍
Thank you so informative ❤
Wow! Agree with everything! Thanks soooo much! Want to start working out this year (more) so good to know for the time of month!
For me every month is a different story... Last month I was on high energy and was doing super sets and circuits and lifting weights. This month... Now...I am so tired and my cramps has been horrible and my body just doesn't seem to want to listen to me... I feel tired and my lower body aches the most. But I have been doing your 10 minute abs workout in bed followed by walking in the morning and later I do 40 minutes of Stationary bike at the gym. These are fine for me.. as of tomorrow onwards I am planning on strength training but mostly sticking to low impact.
I love doing yoga ,pilates or walking during that time of the month and I do feel heaps better. I follow it up with a hot bubbly bath and my fav pjs too help ease my muscle and cramps. I've also stopped replying on pain killers and take multi vitamins instead these help alot with the way I feel i think which is most important.
This was a very informative and helpful video Joanna !!! And highly requested too!!! So thanks a lot for making a video on this topic...and I would love if u made like a workout routine especially for periods ....so that i am not confused and just could follow along ur routine and remain healthy and active during my period. It would be very helpful 😁😁😁😁😁love u ❤️❤️🖤🖤😘😘😍
Thanks Joanna! I feel so much better!
I love working out on my lady time! It helps so much and the pre workout I take helps a ton with bloating (I use one for women specifically)
I experience intense cramps that I have to take tablets for it ..besides my periods were irregular too! But now after starting to do low impact exercises the pain has indeed reduced down and im starting yo get regular periods ! Whatever she says is 100% true ! Amazing video Joanna ! Informative as always!❤️
People often underestimate it, but staying active will have an impact on your hormones and period over time - regular periods, reduce cramps and pain, reduce bloating etc. Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
Same for me. I wish I did this sooner.
This is really helpful thank you for guiding me ;D
Although I have a uterus I do appreciate your covering this subject. I will share with the ladies in my life. I also enjoy your instruction vlogs.
Thank u diii... For this video...❤️
OMG did you just upload this todaaay?! I just got my period today but was so worried cos I’m starting to enjoy exercising esp lifting weights so I didnt want to skip exercising due to my period 😭 but thank you soooo much Joanna! Perfect timing! ❤️🔥
Omg me too..but 8 months later lol
I love your explanation
Woohhhhh it's just 40 min and 3k views Joanna you're awesome 👍🏻👍🏻😉😉 I love your workouts and tips too😁😁
Oh my God! I JUST GOT MY PERIOD!!!!!
Believe me or not , I get the worst cramps on my period... But the choreographers in my dance class never let me sit down even for a second. I feel like dying but the intense workout actually helps me a lot!! Thanks for the video ma'am ❤️
A viewer from Karnataka , India🇮🇳🇮🇳
joanna is underrated!
The row machine is my friend during this time. I just been going at a lower intensity for a longer time for full body cardio. Walking with some light weights is good for me until I feel my energy return. But I was worried I should be doing more and I was going too easy and undoing my progress. I'm glad this is acceptable to continue my journey.
I love to move during my periods but my aunt ,"tells just do nothing lie on bed nd u will feel more comfortable", but I don't like to be on only one place more than 15 minutes😧
i wanna keep turning around and cuddling with my imaginary crush.🤣🤣
Because i experience stomatch pain, I don't exercise in three to four first days of my period. In the remaining days I might do some walking videos or regular exercises depend on the bleeding amount.
Try to introduce some light movements, it will really help to reduce the pain and discomfort.
I needed this soooo much
This video is really so much helpful ☺️ thank you
Your new look is beautiful
LOVE it!!
Aww thanks!! Still getting used to it haha
Hello Joanna from London 🤗😀.Thank you for all your videa's.
What kind of exercises can I do for lost waight with a hiatus hernia?😘
Great timing since I'm waiting for mine this week ☺️☺️☺️
Love your videos, please do more reciepe videos, they are soooo good
Well I have PCOD, so I don't get my periods regularly, I was on OCP for 3 years but I stopped, currently I'm on a weight loss journey to get my periods to be regular and get back on track. But This is very good to know 💪
I hope you succeed❤️
@@xyzabc-nu3vd thanks 😊
I've had PCOD too since I've lost weight my periods have become regular! You got this! You can do it!! God bless!!
Hi, can I ask you something, what's the difference between pcos and pcod since I am diagnosed with it too, I'm researching about it that's why?
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii I always think about this question
