Is rowing good for irregular periods during perimenopause?

Rowing can be helpful for managing irregular periods during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in irregular periods.

The key with rowing for irregular periods is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when irregular periods is more severe, a gentler approach to rowing may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Rowing specifically may help with irregular periods through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular rowing, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for irregular periods than occasional intense sessions.
