  Lovers of racing will have to give up a lot. But if you do jogging outdoors - do not miss a workout, just go to fast walking or jogging. Fresh air facilitates any pain. Cardio-load even low intensity (walking) help the body to secrete endorphins, which block pain signals, which allows you to feel good.

That can not be.   We do not recommend running. There are studies confirming that women athletes who did not stop intensive training during menstruation - a high risk of injury. During menstruation particularly vulnerable joints, so do not load their workouts that are safe for other days.

Zumba

What can.
  Recall that Zumba - a mix of Latin American dancing and a good workout. "Fitness-Party" - this is sometimes called Zumba. Harm from Zumbi during menstruation is not. Crick and dance movements help to ease cramps.

That can not be. During the critical days it is better to abandon the high-intensity exercise - this is when you breathe so hard that you can not even exchange a few words with fellow dance classes. Pulse should not be too speeded up if you feel the thumping in my chest - immediately stop intense workout, go to your rhythm. Another limitation - on exercises in which you are deprived of support: at least one foot must be on the ground. We can not forget about water. Increase her intake during exercise because of its lack of will to seizures. Do not wear clothes that will lead to overheating, the body needs to breathe.

And the main piece of advice:

Listen to yourself, your body. He first tells you that you are doing something wrong. Be alert to signals such as dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, headaches, swelling in the calves. Once you feel one of these characters - go to traffic calming and stop training. With a very strong menstrual pain - just concentrate on relaxing exercises for abdominal muscles and joints and heart rate should remain at rest.
