Lately, I’ve been using blogs to answer some questions I hear all the time. My thought is that if a bunch of you girls is asking the same thing, there are probably lots of other women wondering about it, too. And so by publishing it on the blog, I’m hoping we can make it a little easier for people to get answers to their questions.
And that leads me to one question I get seriously all the time:
Is it a good idea to work out your period?
I totally get where you’re coming from. When you’re on your period, you’re usually battling at least a little fatigue, mood swings, some cramping and, let’s be honest, a lot of other junk. (That’s literally why I developed the Miss Congeniality boost — because I was sick of it!) While you’re menstruating and not feeling your best, it can be pretty tempting to skip your workouts. Heck, you might even feel like doing so is a good way to practice self-care.
