Playtex SPORT... 'nuff said.0

Yes! workout!! I did last month, and it was shorter and lighter and I didn't feel as bad as I usually do.0
-
I don't what is worse...that there is some rouge person running around giving this advice or that SOOOOOO many women believe it!0
-
I'm not sure. Was there blood?0
-
yes, it helps with cramps0
-
Of course I do. Yes you feel a little off and maybe not so productive but it is no excuse to not keep going.0
-
Yes I do, I also eat more during this time so I have to keep moving.0
-
There are very few reasons I don't workout....
My period is not one of them.0 -
absolutely!!!!!! and my metabolism is spiked so it works out even better. HOWEVER- I cannot workout more than 60 minutes in a day because I will end up cramping severely later, but i think thats just me.
Anytime Ive done two cardio and two strength workouts while chasing the cotton mouse, the bloat leaves at the end and takes at least an extra pound with it. GOOD LUCK!0 -
I can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't work out during tom.... I do. It's a non-issue.
Hope this doesn't sound rude...but its something you just have to suck it up and deal with. Its not going anywhere, and you can't let it take control over your life every month!0 -
On the first day, I don't exercise. I have a hard time getting out of bed (no energy, lots of pain, terrible attitude) let alone working out.
Edit: I just remembered (after reading the post below me) that in Jr. High they always let us sit out of we had our period.0 -
I don't see why some people are being rude. I'm 21 and actually found this out two years ago, after I graduated high school, because my school TAUGHT me that normal exercise was bad for you during your TOM. (Of course, I think I had the worst sex education in the united states, but that's another topic...)
Yeah, now that I know better it seems silly. But how exactly do you get to know better if you don't ask?0 -
I am going to use the answer that someone posted the last time this was posted... Thanks to whomever it was...
As long as you don't go swimming in a pool of sharks, I don't see a problem.0 -
The first day is a no go for me. I am normally in no mood and generally don't feel 100%. The other days, after the cramps subside a bit, I have no problem working out. But I must admit that I tend to not be very motivated to go around that time of the month.0
-
I do! Sometimes, the first day I usually don't do more than a walk...only because of pure exhaustion. I have always been one to get hurt if I try and over strain my body!
But, aside from that....I feel it helps the cramps big time...I will say, it is not always the most comfortable.0 -
When its that time of the month do you still work out? Alot of women have advised me not to but they also have never worked out a day in their lives so I wanted some of the opinions of the ladies her on MFP.
Personally, I'm sick to my stomach the first 2 days so with all the throwing up/ not stomaching food I don't dare work out because of not having enough food in my system. I usually take the next day or 2 to build up food in my system again and then start working out near the end of it.
That works for me but I also know the extremity of my pain/ nauseous is unusual so other people may have no problem working out.
I would do what feels best for you If you can work out without any problems, do it! If it's making you sick or weak then take a couple of days off. Remember, working out shouldn't be a chore but make you feel better about yourself0 -
I have to. It helps with my anger issues. :explode:
If my period was so bad that I couldn't do my normal activities, I'd see a doctor about it.0 -
I'm slightly anaemic so it's really not the best time for me to be going hard in the gym.. I still workout though, if only to preserve my sanity!0

I was actually looking if I found a similar one since yesterday and couldnt. Thats y I posted it. Ignore it if it borthers you so much!
Thank you0 -
No. Don't work out, you will die.
Reasoning behind your theory?0 -
Wow! People still think that way? Ridiculous! Given that there is not enough food in the universe to satisfy my appetite in the days before I start my period, I better work out or I'll gain 20 pounds in a week!0
-
I dont on the first day just because I always feels like death...but after that any day is fine to workout for me =]0
-
I workout...I just did this whole week. I do not know of any reason to not workout during your period.0
-
I usually take the first two days off [since they're the worse for me and my cramps, and they are heavy as hell]. The rest of the week I work out.0

Yeap... I still workout!! No reason why not too, unless you are truly not feeling well from it. I have found so far that keeping your routine food wise and exercise wise the same during TOM will help keep some of the water weight from attacking the scale.
Since starting MFP back in January I have LOST weight every time during my TOM, which is interesting because I used to gain A LOT. My reasoning is that I don't use TOM as a excuse to fall back on bad habits. Work through it, and even if you don't lose weight that week, the following week is usually has a better outcome because of not overdoing it during TOM.0 -
What's bothers me so much is how clueless women seem to be when it comes to their periods in this day and age and the need for 100000000000 threads. I'd love to ignore these threads and most times I do skip right over them. But every once in awhile my mind is so baffled by this cluelessness that it's like a bad car wreck you can't look away, just can't ignore it.
Yes it is OK to engage in physical activity during that time of month. Yes you may experience a slight weight gain, do not panic it will go away when TOM does. Yes, there may be cramping, take a midol. If you feel that bad then exercise your commonsense and don't work out.0 -
Not all the time.
Just like my moods during that time, sometimes I just want to lay on the couch like a fat hybernating bear and not move. Then there are other days where I feel energetic and go for a long run or a good workout at the gym.0
