10 Moves to Ease Symptoms of PMS

Forward Bend Straddle

How it helps: Cramps stopping you in your tracks? This exercise is not only calming, but it can also help relieve cramps, Barrett says.

How to do it: From a seated upright position open your legs into a straddle approximately 3 feet apart. Inhale and sit tall, then exhale and hinge forward at the hips, using your arms like a kickstand. Bend as far forward as is comfortable and hold for 1-5 minutes, Barrett says.
