Hi, ladies,

​Does anyone exercise when they are having heavy bleeding?  My sisters are big into the exercise thing.  Last year I ran.   Since it's warmed up again I thought I would try it again but I've had heavy bleeding that lasts and lasts and lasts.  I've filleld my i-pod with great songs and I'm wanting run again but am scared of flooding.  I went to the doctor and had a biopsy done on a polyp in my uterus and it showed that I am good.  So no worries there.   I know running wears me out but in the long run I have more energy for work and other activites.  Does anyone out there exercise regularly??  What do you do when you have heavy bleeding??

I do other exercises like weights, rowing, and walking. No running and no cardio.

Hi Lori

i have just had op to remove my second polyp I also have fibroid, hence my heavy periods, I have had heavy periods since the age of 14, I'm now 49. But I always exercise I mix it up with weights and cardio, I love it, I used to run all the time, but now  for me I feel better doing the weights too, so I do a lot of Kettlebell classes, which is cardio too, I still go weather I'm on my period or not, I just make use I have breakfast a hour before and keep hydrated, so my advice is go for it you will feel a lot better for it in the long run xx
