    I don't during the first day or two. My cycles have been rough since I was 14. I can't keep anything on my stomach and I am usually in a hunched over position the first 2 days. I don't do anything extra.

    Don't let you menses be another excuse. It should not stop you! Whoever is giving you that advice should be ignored. Consult you doctor in the future.

    No. Like I've said before, I just sit in the menstrual hut until i am no longer unclean.

    Thank you. I've heard that stuff is contagious

    The only thing I don't necessarliy do when the monthly witch visits is swim. Anythng else is fair game as long as I'm not doubled over iwth cramps.

    I personally don't. I'm so nauseous and crampy that I'm actually unable to move for about two days. It used to be worse when I wasn't working out--I'd be out for four days. My body tells me to sit down, so I do. It tells me I need more rest, so I do.

    Every other day is FAIR GAME! >:)

    Of course. Depends on how they make you feel though. I feel physically fine during this time, I do however get demanding sugar cravings, so I like working out like normal - especially if I'm indulging in more sweeter things! Gotta burn off any extra calories!!! Especially if they're not clean!! But everyone is different!

    It's not bad for your health, that's ridiculous. What is it, the 1940's?

    Some people told me it's bad for your health. Is it true?
    Whoever these people are, you need to stop listening to them!!

    For most women, it helps to work out...lessens cramps and other symptoms...
