Today’s our Project Swole women’s health correspondent is prepared to address an important female concern – the period. This is not so much a piece about fitness but is definitely a solid reflection on female health, nutrition, and most of all preventing discomfort.

Set a timer on your phone, computer, or smartwatch that gets you up and moving every 15-30 minutes. Even if you have to walk laps around your cubicle or take a stroll to the bathroom, any movement is better than none. Fitness trackers are great for this too.

We’ve partnered with Ryderwear for the holiday season to offer a coupon code for you or your significant other, to update your fitness wardrobe.
