Okay, so its about my TOM (Time Of Month for you who dont know :P)

I hate exercising with them, i hate it since i dont wear tampons,
but i feel lazy and gross if i dont exercise at all,
what are some light things i can do to still get my exercise in but not pushing myself to the extreme?

im thinking cross/elliptical trainer? and maybe the sit down bikes and then just some strength training?

what do you think? any ideas?

:)

    I would wear a tampon or not do it. I'd feel way too uncomfortable. =/

    maybe go for a walk. enjoy some outdoor time and go for a walk outside on a trail/track or something. I know during my time tha tis better than actually going to the gym and working out. Just put on your music and walk, evben if just around the neighborhood. :smile:

    I would stay away from the sit down exercises that may make you feel sticky and even more uncomfortable. I would try walking/joggins something that keeps your heart rate up and your legs moving.

    I always feel seriously ick around that time, so I tend to opt for walking at a fast pace somewhere nice, like the local park or the beach. If you prefer going to the gym, maybe exercise bikes and rowing machines would be a good compromise?

    walking, yoga, wii fit..... just as long as your moving then you should be ok. i tend to spend the week binging on chocolate and sitting on my *kitten* then get back on it afterwards but any form of exercise whether is breaking out in a hot sweat or just a gently stroll is better than doing nothing at all.

    even if you just go for a walk or something, its better than nothing right? Even with a pad on, put on your sneakers and take a 1/2 hour stroll....it will may you feel better :)

    I don't wear tampons either, but I wear a really thin pad and go about my week as normal.

    I'm also on birthcontrol, so I don't get as heavy as a period. When I wasn't though, I would go on a walk.. you can strength train and it won't feel weird or anything.

    Right there with you.......

    I tend to just go for a walk or do a bit of wii fit, especially as doing that at home you can dive right into the shower if you need to at any point! Perhaps a yoga DVD or something if you don't have a wii? :smile:

    As the others said, walking is brill, have you tried pilates, not sweaty, good core training and leaves you feeling relaxed and lovely.

    Anything standing/moving. I'd avoid sitting if you don't wear tampons, the extra padding can cause a bit of odd bruising (speaking from experience) unless you're standing for your ride.

    Yoga, dance, elliptical, walking, running, weight training.

    Working out during my tom always makes me feel better -- it takes away cramps and actually seems to speed it up :)
