I timed my workouts around my period. I usually get really bad cramps, and I don't work out every day (I'm not trying to lose weight so much as tone), so I work out Mon/Tues and skip the Thurs routine if it's a bad month. I just started working out so I'm not much help there, but personally for yoga, I never go when I have my period. It's just too uncomfortable in a room full of people in some of the positions. Instead, I do some lighter yoga at home.
Hope that helps!0 -
This is a personal question and might be TMI BUT...how does your period effect your exercise routine? I know most say that exercising helps get rid of cramps...but what if the cramps are so bad that all you do is lay in one place with a heating pad? I just want to sleep or sit in my chair all night...0

I started my "healthy lifestyle change" 4 weeks ago....just joined My Fitness Pal 5 days ago. I've always had TERRIBLE periods....cramps that wake me up in the middle of the night....miserable, very heavy. BUT, since I have changed my diet....cut out much of the sugar and all the junk food, drinking water and milk (no soda or juice) and being sure to exercise every day (or at least 6 days a week) my last period was AWESOME! I hardly noticed it!. I didn't have any cramps at all, lighter flow, and I felt better than I ever remember! In fact, I even mentioned it to my husband when I realized how great I was feeling. I even did my regular gym routines including Zumba! No problems at all! I really think that my body is much happier with my new healthier way of living and it is making a difference.
Maybe you will start to notice a difference as well?
