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

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!
