Ladies, do you exercise on 'that day' of the month?

Aunt Flo has decided to pay me a visit and she's brought some killer cramps with her as a present. I had a day off from exercise yesterday so I'll feel like a slob if I don't do something today, but the thought of doing a 30DS workout like I usually would makes me want to puke.
What do you do when you feel like this? Would you have another day off, or go for a walk, or harden up and work out as usual?
Edit: To clarify, my period goes for a week like most people's do, but I generally only have cramps on the first day. After today I'll be working out as normal.

I could be making stuff up but I think exercise has been shown to alleviate cramps. Orgasms do as well.0

Before my internal girly bits got taken out, my last one lasted for an entire year!
(okay, ducking back out of this conversation since I have nothing productive to contribute)0 -
Hell no I don't work out. I feel sooo gross.0

I usually have a few days like that...most of the time i don't do anything on those days and just watch the calorie intake or i might do something not so strenuous....i do like the leslie sansone's walking dvds...your getting a decent workout without killing yourself0

depends on how I feel. I worked out the entire days she visited, however last month I was exhausted and took the week off.0

Working out during my period is a godsend. It will almost completely alleviate my cramps and irritability for hours after.0

You only have one day of that a month? WTF? I'm getting ripped off!0

THIS!! To answer your question - the first day I don't work out. I do work out the days afterwards. Just go to the bathroom frequently during Cardio & KickBoxing. LOL0 -

You aren't making it up.0 -
I'm with you, I felt like *kitten* this morning due to cramps, and sucked it up and went to the gym and they are now gone I've heard a lot of people say that exercising cures their cramps (for a short time, at least). So GO FOR IT! You'll feel good when it's done and over with!0
