yes you can! thats just her being lazy!! haha jk no really there isnt anything like that! it is actually said that exercise can help with cramps and release some bloat.

i usually do NOT train on my first day...

2 reasons for this...
1) my period is so heavy that i have little strength in the gym so i can't push my normal weights and i tire very easily...
2) in my personal experience, when i train on the first day, it seems as though my period for that month gets a bit screwed up... Like i will bleed for the first 2 days, then stop for 2 days and then bleed again for a day or two and then in about another day i spot... so it doesn't seem like it flows normally... do NOT ask me why, i have no idea lol... just what i have experienced...

But #1 reason is valid for most women that have a heavy first day...
