Does anyone else find it difficult to run especially, during PMS?

    It's tough, but I always feel better after.

    Nope. You're the only special snowflake that this happens too.

    I don't find it tough but I find myself more agitated when I work out, more swears being mutter under my breath and feeling like throwing my weights to the ground like a touch down before saying something like "BOOYA!" or the like.

    Someone on my friends feed asked that question yesterday! Sometimes when I have PMS, I feel like I'm slogging through my day and everything seems tougher!

    This ^^

    But I find that ab workouts feel good, espically the stretches afterwards to help with cramps.
    Also, some kickboxing helps to get some of your anger out if you are a moody girl.

    The only PMS symptom I have is bloating. I almost never have cramps. It's just that when I run I feel like I am a ton heavier and I just can't jump on the treadmill like I'd usually do.

    I think it is harder to find motivation to actually get to the gym but it always makes me feel better afterwards (especially if I have cramps or bloating)

    I struggle when I am on my period but mine are very heavy and painful! I find doing yoga though makes me feel a million times better. I have done yoga many times with painful periods and by the end the pain is gone! Then I do a more vigorous workout but I tend not to bust my balls as much when I am on my period =P

    I find it harder during my period. I feel gross and am exhausted. Sometimes I can't even run a mile.

    I find it tough. It's hard to get started once I push through and just keep running the next mile or two are easy. I feel much better and less bloated after though!!

    Opposite for me actually. Working out prevents my cramps.

    It doesn't always make me feel better. Sometimes it will make my cramping worse :(

    I have terrible fatigue during that time. Like, so bad that when I am normally the lightest sleeper on the planet that I can even hear my kiddo crying at night. It seriously just knocks me out. So yeah, it's hard for me during that time because even when I get started in an exercise I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
