I started to continue exercising even on my period (though light ones) when I observed that it really reduced my period pains and often times there is none. Otherwise I'd have literally been lying on the cold hard ground sobbing my intestines out 😆 Also it feels so good post workout during periods 🔥👏

Honestly, when I'm puking for 3 days, I'm not working out. Exercise hasn't helped the pain from endometriosis and fibroids.

I am having periods for 4 years now I've never experienced cramps, I'm 15 years old and I exercise 5-6 times a week and it helps to 🔥my mood.

The change in period pain over the years might also be because your body is simply changing. My pain has been getting worse these last years, and i actually exercise more than i used to as a teenager. I don't exercise a lot, but as a teenager, i didn't at all. I wouldn't say "Do your exercises as usual when you're on your period". If you're tired and in pain, you need to rest.
But i agree that mild yoga does great, instead of just watching netflix or instagram in my bed, which doesn't make me feel better. 😛

6 to 4 days I feel like crap, I think every woman is different. I don’t do anything,I I take my time of 1 week, 3 days before period and 3 days during period . If you feel sick , bloated , diarrea , bad mood , hungry , back pain , tender breast etc take it slow . 😊

Thank you so much for these tips! I'm going to try them out, I actually got my periods earlier than 11 and I've been having alot of Dysmenorrhea ( period cramps/pain ) The first day it always goes so overboard that I need to take tablets. I always stop exercising during my period thinking it would hurt me even more. I am going to try exercising daily now! * probably not consistently *
