Great thread! :clap This girl I *used to be friends* with thought I was silly for not wanting to work out during my period.:icon_roll
I don't like to so I totally understand. First of all, the first two days I have killer cramps and its really heavy. I am wearing a white karate uniform when I work out, so can you imagine if I had an *accident*?!!:icon_eek: Then what about my yoga class? My legs are this way and that....uh...I don't think so...I stay home 99.9% of the time the first few days.
However, sometimes I MUST be in class (for a specific reason) and it happens to occur when I'm on my period. So what I will do is wear BLACK bike shorts underneath my uniform or some other creative idea to ensure no accidents. Sheesh, can you imagine? Even though there are plenty females in my class, still, its embarrassing. Its also uncomfortable. I just don't have the energy or stamina that I do when I don't have my period. Plus I'm real emotional prior to and the first few days. Not witchy, just weepy. I'd probably cry if someone hit me by accident. :icon_roll So its best I stay home the first few days. LOL:icon_chee
