I think most of us have been there at some point, when you are on your period you can not be bothered with anything sometimes, but how do you motivate yourself to get up off your bloated feeling butt and go for a ride?
True, I had not thought of that I will try it next time I am cramping and see how I fare!StrawberryCat said:I just do it. My period doesn't get in the way of my life. Exercise can actually help to reduce cramps so that can be a great source of motivation.
Wow, vicious! Nice. sounds like you have it covered, I have not got to that stage of being able to beat it yet, although at thirty I really should I suppose!DancingLady said:I have always found there is a little tiger inside me when I am on my period, started about the secon cycle of my life. I simply refuse to be a victim of my body and this "I will do it, and I'll work harder and better in spite of it!" just comes out of me. I don't know how to explain that except it's a mindset. I just will NOT let that time of the month slow me down, I will push through anything short of puking or diziness just to prove to myself that I can do it.
I am glad I am not the only one that gets like this, it hurts a lot for some people and those that don't experience it tend to think others are just making a fuss.katherine25 said:I don't ride when I am on my period. It is way to uncomfortable for me and I'm usually in a lot of pain from cramping so I avoid riding if I can.
