Chhavi Mittal on if working out during periods is advisable
Taking to her Instagram handle, Chhavi Mittal dropped a video of herself struggling to workout on the first day of her period in a gym. She mentioned, "Today is Day 1 for me. I'm low on energy. Here I'm pushing 110 kg and the struggle is real. But the low energy is not due to periods! Its coz of carb overload yesterday and heat and dehydration. Also underslept (late night TV)."
The Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann actress went on to add, "Healthy periods will not ever pull you down as much as a bad lifestyle will. In the last 30 years of my period life, I have never altered anything in my daily life to adjust to the 'inconvenience.' Having said that, each body is different. Recognize how you feel during ur periods. But don't just blindly blame things on this beautiful wonder of a woman's body."
In the caption of her video, the Krishnadasi fame underlined how periods have been associated with a woman's health, hormonal imbalances, and discomfort. Explaining what menstruation means to her, Chhavi Mittal stated it to be a symbol of good health and her femininity.
A segment of her caption read, "I can’t even begin to tell you the empowerment I feel when I workout while on my period. Not to mention the 2-sided love between my workouts and my periods. I workout, healthier periods. Healthy period, great workout! I’ve always walked out from a gym stronger while I’m on my period."
Lastly, the breast cancer survivor advised women to acknowledge their bodies and respect what it allows them to do during such a phase. When on periods, Chhavi avoids jumping or engaging in core exercises.
