Ankita Konwar on exercising during periods: 'I have run full marathons, but trying to be extra careful these days'

Updated : Apr 25, 2021, 10:52 IST

Milind Soman's 29-year-old wife, Ankita Konwar recently addressed a frequently-asked question about a woman's menstrual cycle and the kind of activities one should do and, or avoid during those days. The fitness enthusiast took to her Instagram handle to share a couple of photographs from her jog and revealed that she keeps the intensity of her exercises 'low' when on her periods. Ankita also advised women not to exhaust themselves considering the current COVID-19 pandemic. Inspiring her followers to keep active, Ankita wrote, 'Do you exercise while you’re menstruating? A common question I get asked a lot. As a matter of fact, I do, I always have, since puberty came along.' She continued, 'However, I keep the intensity low as far as I am comfortable. I have run full marathons on my periods too but trying to be extra careful these days. Keeping it to a light 7/8 kms a day. My “light” can differ from your “light”. So choose wisely. Light exercises actually help a lot with all the symptoms during menstruation and any other day tbh.' Like her husband Milind Soman who refuses to age, Ankita, too, has embraced his fit lifestyle. Everyone knows she is a fitness junkie like Milind and the duo regularly keep sharing inspiring messages for the people out there with their Instagram posts dedicated to working out, eating right and one's mental health. Moving on, as we're all aware, these days, the situation is extremely grim. The number of cases of people who are infected is increasing by leaps and bounds and the death toll is on the rise. Every day brings further reconfirmation that the second wave of COVID-19 in India is likely to wreak havoc for a long time. India is presently in the grips of a public health emergency with frantic calls for help for beds, medicines, oxygen cylinders, essential drugs and tests coming in from every part of the country. Amid such trying times, coupled with the fact that her husband Milind himself only recently recovered from COVID, Ankita advised everyone to take it easy and not to tire themselves out. She wrote, 'Considering the situation we are dealing with, we must make sure that we don’t exhaust ourselves. Eat healthy home food, exercise light and sleep on time.' She added, 'I always ask everyone to stay away from crazy fancy diets and you must, especially now. Be grateful for the food on your plate and stop worrying about the 'weighing scale'. Stay healthy and focus on your immunity.'
