Numerous studies suggest that women can relieve their symptoms of Premenstrual
Syndrome with regular cardiovascular exercise (3 to 4 days a week). Here are
some findings and theories behind the exercise-PMS connection:

- Exercise can decrease abdominal bloating and other
fluid-retention problems.
- Exercise promotes weight loss, which in turn may reduce symptoms. (Excess body
fat is associated with PMS.)
- Exercise seems to diminish PMS-related depression and anxiety. This could be
due to the release of endorphins and other mood-raising chemicals.
- Exercise also reduces stress, another factor that triggers or exacerbates PMS
in many women.

Oh, by the way,

Success is never final, and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.
