Sruthi Hariharan Instagram – Random snippets from a super intense workout on Day 3 of Chums and most importantly a menstrual cup .
Only if you are interested please read further 🙂
This is me sharing my opinion and experience.
1) Popular opinion – “Don’t workout when on your periods” . I DISAGREE. I can and in fact make sure I train during my periods. There are cycles when I am severely cramping or can’t hit the gym, even then, I make sure I atleast stretch or do a little yoga. However there are days when I just cannot do anything physical (even stretches) and I don’t . I listen to my body and maybe that’s the best advice you can get- listen to your body. But do not let your mind, make your periods an excuse to not workout. And yes, follow what your doctor/ gynac tells you 🙂
2) “You can’t work out wearing a menstrual cup” some of them say … And I DISAGREE 🙂 Post partum, it took me 6 different cups to finally find the one I am most comfortable with . The last few months I have been training wearing my dear cup and believe it or not, it feels better than wearing a sanitary napkin. And no, I haven’t had any accidents with my cup at the gym (like no popping during squats, lunges etc) So try it for yourself, and see what works for you and your body.
My coach @sgaurav1309 and my gynac approves of all that I say above 🙂
