Should you exercise when you have just started that dreaded TOM? I feel really crappy ; bloated, that sick feeling and generally uncomfortable. I use sports active 2 so it involves a lot of jumping and running. I also don't want to miss a day cause then I feel I've let myself down :(

    Just try your best to push through it. I know it sucks with the cramping and bloating and all that, but it can actually help relieve symptoms :D

    I find a bit of gentle exercise actually makes me feel better; I'm not suggesting 4 hours in the gym, but a brisk walk definitely has benefits. Good Luck

    Because exercise releases endorphines, you will feel better afterwards. So make sure you drink your water, eat your carbs/proteins, and take some pain relievers afterwards for the cramps; otherwise in the immortal words of my best friend, "Suck it up cupcake! Get out there and just do it!"

    Pain killers were taken a while ago. Wish they would hurry and do what they promise to! Only thing keeping me going is fitting into my jeggings without the muffin top! Haha

    Going to listen to music rather than the instructor. She says the same thing every day and she's not really motivating! Here I go...
