(For the gym girls) during your time of the month when your appetite peaks etc and you’re craving snacks + feeling weak, how do y’all not feel guilty for taking a break from the gym
I simply don’t take a break from the gym. I adjust weight/intensity as I feel appropriate but no reason to take a break

I go to the gym during my period cause it can help with cramps but just go light and focus of toning

listening to your body is important too, there’s def days where it’s better to give your body a break and listen to what it needs. working out can help with cramps though, it’s good to get moving!

Nuh uh lifting weights is what helps cramps I mean like more reps less weight so like let’s say you do 8x3 with 10 pounds for lat raises do 12x4 with 5 pound weights on your period!

Okay queen, bring extra water and a protein bar in your bag and if you feel sick or tired it’s okay to give yourself a break!
