Gentle Movement That May Help Cramps

Gentle exercise like walking or yoga may help ease period pain.

Period pain happens when your womb tightens during your period, and it's often a normal part of the cycle. Gentle exercise like yoga, swimming, walking, or cycling may help ease it. Resting with a heating pad on your lower belly may help too. Keep the intensity low and go at your own pace.
