days of cramps from PMS

[malonera34]

This has put a real damper on my goals. I'm 34 years old and have been training for almost 20 years, never missed a workout. now that I am in my 30's i've started getting worse and worse PMS symptoms. what are some good strategies for dealing with this? foods? also do you think working out while going through it helps or hurts the issue?

I'd go and speak to a doc. They can give you the pill which helps some

don't workout on a day where it is too bad, that is doing more harm than good

hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. electrolytes like salt, potassium and magnesium are huge.

eat nutritious, fruits are a great idea.

I will only give the same advice when anyone is feeling sick or has a minor injury. That is to take a day off if you are not going to be able to go hard. Your body likely needs the down time too.

Talk to your doctor

Just listen to your body and that will tell you how to train
