Begin with how you feel
Some days you may want your usual routine; on others, you may prefer a lighter session or rest. You do not need to prove commitment by ignoring discomfort. Tell your coach when you want to discuss changing a session.
Gentle movement is one option
The NHS lists gentle activities such as walking, cycling, swimming and yoga among the things that may help ease period pain. That does not mean that every person needs the same activity, or that a demanding gym session is the answer to symptoms.

Do not dismiss symptoms that need care
If period pain is severe or worse than usual, seek medical advice promptly. The NHS also advises seeing a clinician when pain stops usual activities or periods become more painful, heavy or irregular. A trainer cannot diagnose the cause. Use local medical services for advice and urgent care when needed.
