cramps while on period training hard

[ChipperHoney]

I usually get cramps around my period that last a few days to a week and really mess with my workouts and i know i am not the only one who gets these. what do you recommend for helping during the week where i can still get in a quality workout without being in crazy pain. it is hard enough to do a hard workout as it is! Maybe something like a painkiller OTC?

Try using something like cardazol, it helps with energy and gets you thru the workout even in pain.

i thought most women used midol or tylenol?

Just ease up when you're won a period. It's only a few days

separate your workouts from your period

figure out what works for your period, once you do. then you can workout or take a couple days off. some women have abnormally difficult periods and i refuse to believe that the only solution is throwing a bunch of drugs at the problem.

a woman asking men what to do about menstrual cramps... i've seen it all now.

I would just rest on days you feel cramping. Just schedule around it.

Hydrate well and keep up electrolytes

couldn’t help you here besides just suggesting water and tylenol
