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.

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 !!!!

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.

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.

this is so spooky but my period just came today and this is the first video that popped up on my feed 🤯🤯

I love working out on my period, flow of blood feels like a river😂... And I feel very light after.

I didn't saw anyone like you because you give us correct answers. And I am a biggest fan of you love you Joanna ❤❤👍

Wow! Agree with everything! Thanks soooo much! Want to start working out this year (more) so good to know for the time of month!

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.

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 ❤️

Insightful post! Thank you for the advice x

joanna is underrated!

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.

Oh my God! I JUST GOT MY PERIOD!!!!!

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.

Very effective video . Thank you !

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

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 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. 👍

This just motivated me to go for a walk. I normally hibernate when the pain starts but fresh air could help me relax more than staying in bed.

Thank you so informative ❤

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 !

Finally I found my answer wht i do in my period days..thnx for this video its really useful ..

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.

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.
