Benefits of exercising during your period

We’re sure you’re wondering what the benefits of exercising during your period actually are. Believe it or not, staying active is a great way to alleviate many of the pesky symptoms that you may be experiencing! While it’s super tempting to sink into the couch and rewatch Outer Banks for the 4th time, you may find that you feel better after doing some yoga or going for a walk instead. Why? Because exercise can help to boost your mood, relieve pain and cramps, reduce bloating, fight mood swings, ease nausea and battle fatigue. It’s known to naturally release endorphins – a.k.a. those fab ‘feel good’ hormones!
