Ladies of r/loseit, do you find it hard to work out before and during your period?

I’ve noticed a few things that happen the week before and during my period and was wondering if anyone else experiences this and has any suggestions for this time of the month?!

  • I have no motivation at all, when actually most of the time I enjoy exercise, I look forward to it and like to challenge myself.

  • I usually go to the gym 4 x a week and do weights and a bit of cardio, but during this time I can’t lift heavy weights like I did in the previous weeks and don’t have much cardio endurance. I feel weak (not like shaky going to faint weak, just strength) and it’s so frustrating!

  • I’m quick to fatigue and get really hot and sweaty quicker than normal.

  • I’m hungrier and my cravings are worse than ever!

I’m only 6 weeks into my diet/lifestyle change so this is a bit of a new discovery for me and I’d like to know how to overcome it in future or what others do for exercise during this time.
