HIIT workouts
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is great for burning high amounts of calories in short periods of times, however, it can lead to overexertion when you’re feeling low on energy due to heavy menstrual bleeding or uterine fibroid-related discomfort.
HIIT workouts are completely fine if you are feeling up to it. The important thing is to listen to your body.
Fibroids can take a toll on your life and make it hard to accomplish day-to-day tasks, but by listening to what your body is telling you and participating in modifiable activities, you can ease your symptoms.
If you experience pain or discomfort while doing any of these exercises, consider stopping, reducing intensity, or changing the type of activity.
