Default TOM and exercising
Started my period yesterday and have no want to exercise. What does everyone do when they are on their period and feeling yucky, still exercise?

I definitely exercise. It actually helps with cramps, for me, which is good.

It really depends on the flow. If it's really heavy that I don't, but otherwise yes. I don't have problem with cramps.

If the flow is pretty heavy, I would rather not exercise. I never have cramps though.

Yep, lessens my cramps too. And I find that the more I workout during the month the easier TOM tends to be... esp if I work hard the week before.

Well I actually did one of the most productive workout sessions I've ever done yesterday while on my period. I felt amazing afterwards and it definitely eased any cramps I may have got.

I do exercise.

My cramps usually go away during really intense exercise but come back even worse after. For example, if I'm running they'll go away, but if I stop to take a walking break I'll end up doubled over on the side of the road hoping no cars drive by and think I'm dying, lol. Same for workout videos - the breaks between exercises kill me. Ibuprofen helps with that.

I used to hate running or group fitness classes during my period because I'd worry about leaking issues and I'd have to wear underwear with a pantyliner under my tight stretchy shorts/capris (boooo to panty lines, and uncomfortable elastic), or worse, a pad (embarassingly obvious). But since I started using a Diva Cup, I don't have those excuses anymore.... darn.
