hi

Its always good not to strain ourselves by doing exercise or yoga on those days, the elders in my family say that physical strain on those days can effect our body & also disturb our regular periods. You can exercise once your cycle is over no issues. enjoy your exercise )))))))))

It is not advisable to do certain yoga asanas during your periods;they are forbidden as it has adverse effects on the body.
However you can do the weight training exercises during your periods.Also exercises for the tummy like Ab crunches etc.

You can always do any kind of exercise during your periods, unless and until you dont find it very difficult to do that normal days... you have to behave normally as other days...

If you think you are getting very tired.. cut short it.. but it is no harm to do the same at all.. I do it all the day.. I have a kid already.. I am still doing it.. hope i have answered it

 I think the best way to approach this is to really just listen to your body when it's that time. . If you feel you need to take it easy then take a day off and rest, then by all means allow your body that time for rejuvenation.
Each woman is different both physically and mentally. Women who have a heavy flow may find that increased activity causes them to bleed even more, which is never good.
But for some women some yoga or crunches during period help them to alleviate cramps because cramps are the muscle contraction that helps to get them all out quickly and they get relief from the pain.
If you don’t have any above mentioned problem then I have found that by having some light exercises is good alternative to just sitting out the entire week. Instead of running, a brisk walk will keep your body stay active, without jostling your uterus and aggravating your symptoms. Strength training exercises are fine and you can reduce the amount of weights, squats or other exercises that might increase your blood flow, If you don’t want that skip them.
But light exercise: stretching, walking, and restorative yoga poses actually helps to boost the mood and to get rid of bloating and back pain.
If you think of our ancestors , our moms they used to do regular work without having any change or I think about our maid, they do work and period is never be an excuse for them they are more healthier and energetic than us.
If you do light exercise and get little bit more flow, don’t worry just take care of leaking to avoid embarrassment due to get spot on clothing.

Weight training exercises are the ones using dumbbells,barbells etc.
You have a variety of exercises in this form.Please do check in the you-tube to get an idea.Those are good for strengthening and toning the body.
