"Exercising during menstruation lessens pain because it causes release of brain chemicals called endorphins, which are natural painkillers. Exercise may also decrease pain by affecting prostaglandin metabolism. Exercise may also help because it increases blood flow, and because it makes a lot of people feel better in general."
I Personally think this is a time when us women need to relax and take a break from our usual routine if possible. I would prefer to do things like yoga, pilates, and anything that is relaxing and/or meditative.
