Ladies, when that time of the month hits, all you want to do is stay in bed. Scratch that – take 2 Advil, grab a heat pack, and then return back to bed. Moving is the last thing on your mind. If you have to go to work, it might take all your strength and effort not to call out. I exaggerate…a bit. Still, 30 minutes of exercise doesn’t sound fun when your insides are shedding.
I knew myself well enough not to take the nap I so desperately wanted after I returned home from work. That nap would have turned into 3 hours of lying down and an excuse to not go to the gym. Instead, I came home and quickly changed, leaving no time to wimp out. Also true – hubby helped usher me out the door.
I’m actually glad I went. I’m sure there’s science behind it because there definitely seemed to be causation between working out and my cramps easing up. Fun it was not, but I certainly felt better after working out.
