i joined a gym with my boyfriend last week and my fella booked my offical induction at the gym for 2moro, where they do my bmi and other stuff so they can tell me the best work out for myself and then they show me the best machines to use ect...
thats ok apart from the fact that i have really bad period pains and my period is due to start today.
i do not fancy doing a work out of any kind when i have period pains. or have my body measured as i always feel worse about myself at that time of the month.
your meant to cancell at least 48 hours in advance which i cant do as the gym was closed yesturday and today.
what do you think should i do?

Just get it done. Take Midol and get it done. If you keep putting if off, you're never going to do it.
Evaluate how you feel tomorrow. Don't let it get to you though.

I would go to the gym and explain to them that you have at present a medical problem and ask for an extension since do want to continue your exercise program. Or many gyms will give a person a extension or leave of absence because of this or leaving town etc. But any good honest gym will give extent ions for a good reason.

I think that is a good reason to cancel as when i joined the gym they asked me to make sure i was on or due on for my induction! I dunno if they have said that to you or not though...if its not a prob take some thing for the pain and just do it....u never know u might feel better after a good workout

Ibuprofen for the pain and bleeding, with paracetamol if needed. If pain is really bad, codiene aswell (ie. cocodamol and 'brufen). Induction is often a case of getting fammiliar with the machienery rather than doing a serious work out, that comes nest week. Relax. go for it, it won't be as bad as you think, and the general excercise of getting out and about will help. Trust me.

Cramps suck, not to mention feeling tired and the thought of putting on workout clothes feeling bloated is horrible. My suggestion to you is, and I truly mean this, take some Midal and go workout. Believe me when I say working out helps with cramps, and will help you get some energy back. Plus you wont feel guilty munching from PMS

Light exercise can help take away period pain, something to do with blood circulation,
slow jogging and a few stretches should do the trick.

Tell them your rescheduling for medical reasons and that you'll have to reschedule. If it's a medical reason, it's none of there business and it's an adequate excuse to break their 48 hour notice rule.
Good Luck and hope you feel better soon.

Go ahead and go. Talk yourself into it! I totally understand about the cramp thing- but once you get motivated, it may help to exercise. Being active should help with those crazy cramps!!

Erm, according to my Friend in med school, she says that gentle exercise can help with pain like that

exercise is really good for you during a painful period it releases endorphins which relax you.Just give it a go..you never know it could help.
