Period pain - you know the feeling: pounding head, fiery back, and a uterus staging a full-on rebellion. While cramps may beg you to stay on the couch, sometimes you just have to move.
Help ease the pain with this 15-minute stretch session by Jacqui Kingswell of The Pilates Class. Not only will it boost circulation, it’ll also help relieve tension from cramps — and the poses are so gentle you could probably do them in bed.
Enjoy adding this to your monthly routine.
