Does working out on your period affect it in any way? I've been told by some people it's bad to workout on your period, and others that it's fine..?

Question

Answer

I've found whenever I do cardio on my period it helps cramps so much. When I do weights I find I can't do as much because I can still feel bad cramps. I think cardio gets your body moving more and might take your mind off the pains.

Answer

It actually relives period cramps 😊

Answer

Actually, not only is it okay, but exercising during your period can shorten them and reduce cramps significantly. I try to go running every morning of my period, and it helps a lot!

Answer

I'm pretty disciplined with my marathon training so I train just as hard during my period week as I do otherwise. No problems here! :)
