Definitely ! I know that, for me, exerciseing ( cardio & ab workouts) actually makes me feel better & reduces my cramps & water weight gain during mine.

According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, for the majority of women, there is no reason why menstruation should interfere with their daily activities, including exercise. In fact, regular exercise is recommended as one of the ways to alleviate the pain and discomfort that some women experience before and during menstruation.

Absolutely! Some studies have shown that exercising can reduce cramps. You may want to avoid high-impact exercing (running or bouncy aerobics), but walking or biking or yoga are great!
