the last thing you want to do when navigating fibroids.
Once again, there isn’t a great replacement for burpees considering every replacement would be another high intensity exercise. You might have to cut out all high intensity exercises in order to properly take care of your body. This would include jump squats, sprinting, or any workout plan that has you doing varying exercises in a short span of time.
Crunches
Though crunches are the easiest and most known way to lose weight in the torso, it’s recommended that people with fibroids stay away from crunches. This is because crunches can target different parts of the abdomen.
If you decide to do crunches that focus on the lower abdomen, you might start to feel pain and strain on the area since it’s possibly being overworked.
Crunches also give opportunity for blood to rush to the uterus area, thus giving the fibroids new blood to grow and expand in size.
Unfortunately, there’s no good alternative for crunches that don’t require more abdominal work. If you don’t mind a lack of focus on the abdomen, trying yoga would be a great workout replacement.
There are many yoga routines that are made specifically for people with fibroids. They include poses that relieve back and pelvic pain so switching to yoga may be a better solution.
Navigating fibroids can be tough, so make sure your methods of pain relief are healthy and supported by your doctor.
