Are sit-ups and squats OK to do while on your period...?

Question

A friend told me her mom said it's not good to do exercise such as squats & sit-ups while on your period because you can damage something down there because it's sensitive at that time? Is this true?

Answer 1

No!  You can do anything you would do if you didn't have your period.  Don't let your period control your life.

(The exercise might even help ease your cramps)

Answer 2

its fine

its actually good to exersize when u have your period because it will help with your cramps

Answer 3

Exercises during a period actually help the uterus to expel the period, I know it can be messy, but active sexual fun is very good for helping periods! It is also the safest time!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Of course you can do sit ups and squats, some people dont because they have really bad cramps, but its fine to do.  

Answer 6

No, i've never heard of anything like that and it sounds kind of ridiculous.

Answer 7

why not exercise? you are fine! what your friend told you is a myth!
