GIRLS ONLY!!

I do at home workouts, so I can pretty much do my workouts as normal. when the cramps are intolerable though, I will stick with low cardio workouts, like Cardio Recovery in Insanity or Stretch 40 from Turbo Fire

I don't exercise. Plain and simple. It's hard for me to exercise on a good day, but those days is really hard. And, I figure that my body is being punished enough as it is for the time being. I just keep better tabs on my food.

I find that working out helps me feel better.

So, as long as I'm not puking because of pain, I'll do whatever is scheduled for that day. I do take Advil or Tylenol to help though.

I usually continue with my normal routine, take it a little easy if I'm having really bad cramps but I agree - it usually helps alleviate the pain a little bit.

Walking on the treadmill. Yoga. Something gentle.

I do all my workouts at home though so I can do things the way I want 100% of the time.

I go walking, do weights and do my exercise ball... I try not to over do it on my period.

Exactly! I also do some yoga - mostly relaxing stretches. For whatever reason, sunrise salutation really helps me ease up on the cramps.

The show must go on... I continue with whatever I have scheduled for that day!

yep i do my schedule as usual. and i may just lessen the intensity if i need to.
if i use that as an excuse, then it will be easier for me to use another for next time.

I hop on the elliptical, it seems I don't get cramps at all if I keep myself moving. When I do get them the more I move the better I feel. It's also a good time to eat raisins and bananas. Raisins help keep your iron up and bananas alleviate cramps.

I used to not workout at that time but have recently started doing elliptical anyway and I do feel better after. I dont push myself as hard as usual though. I consider anything being done when aunt flo is visiting is a positive!

My normal workouts! I normally find staying to my normal routine helps with cramps and stuff. But if they're bad, I go for the bike so I'm sitting, instead of the elliptical or treadmill or running.

I do the same thing I normally would - running , weights, whatever. Like someone else said, sometimes It makes me feel better.

my period is very short though, BUT my first day is horrid - I left work early last month because I was in so much pain. When that happens, I tend to take that day off....usually continue every other day during it though

eh i dont really do much the first couple of days, my body is already going through enough hell lol. but once everything eases up, then i try to go into some aerobics

I usually walk during my time. I get really bad cramps and my back hurts very bad so doing anything that requires me to jump around or move around too much is out of the question. I walk at whatever pace I can but for a longer amount of time. I figured even I burn 300 calories that day, its better than nothing.

I use tampons so I don't do anything differently.. but I can imagine the ick factor with pads.. so I would suggest weight training and/or floor type calisthenics on those days..
