    exercising through the cramps is easy, this month I actually got sick to my stomach though, and I did have to leave my workout which I never do.

    Only time I had cramps were my first 2 cycles, after that nothing. However, during those cycles - and my friend still says it's true, exercise will help diminish or stop them altogether while you're working out so wimping out of it may have made you more uncomfortable than if you would have

    Every woman is different when it comes to cramps. Some people get really bad painful cramps, other mildly painful. I normally have mildly painful, sometimes extremely painful cramps. I always take it a lot easier when I am on my period because you get more tired and easily sore when on your period (completely normal symptoms). Just go by what your body feels. Your body is trying to communicate with you what is best for it, it's just about listening to it. What I normally do is take pain reliever pills, then do a lighter version of my regular exercises. I find that light exercise helps relieve cramps, but too much exercise makes me feel worse. lol.
