Okay, is squatting okay?

Yes! Squatting is totally okay and can actually be really good for your body. It's a natural movement and it strengthens a lot of the muscles around your hips and core, which can even help with cramps during your period.

What it does

Squats work your legs, your butt, and your core muscles, and they can make you feel stronger and more stable. It's a really good way to get your body moving and feel good.

Squats and your period

Some people find that doing gentle exercise, like squats or other movement, actually helps with period cramps because it gets your blood flowing. Plus, feeling strong is just awesome, period or no period! Just listen to your body, especially if you're having a heavy flow or cramps. If something hurts, don't push it.
