Hard to work out during TOM?
I am having a hard time wanting to work out now that TOM is here...I just feel so blah, and my cramps are SO bad! I am going to be attatched to my heating pad all day I swear. Its the only thing that works. Is this normal though? Anyone else find it hard to work out during this time?

I think it is normal to feel that way. But I find if I can push thru and do a little cardio it actually helps with the cramps.

cardio does help mle too with the cramps somehow

I've been lucky enough my whole life that I've never really had cramps except half a dozen times or so. (feel free to scowl at me for that :p ) but when I do, i found that a brisk walk was always incredibly helpful. It may not have been as much as I had hoped, but it's getting me moving and feeling better.
On a side note, is it odd that I never had the 'normal' pms symptoms until I started loosing the weight? I've always wondered about that |
No, I actually find the exercise (the higher the intensity the better, like Zumba) really helps. I'd like to maybe just snooze, but I feel so GOOD after working out that it's worth motivating myself.
Advil Migraine Strength gel caps work wonders. ;) |
I'm totally opposite of the ladies here. I have always suffered from BAD cramps. Anyway, they WILL stop during my cardio, but they always.. always always, come back with a vengeance after. I don't know why. I do it anyway, but I end up on the couch with a heat pack and some vicodin after :/
