Exercising improves energy levels and releases endorphins that put you in a great mood. But ladies, what about those days…you know, THOSE DAYS during the month where getting out of bed feels like an olympic sport? It can be difficult to get your body and mind in gear to get active. Whenever it’s that time, I like to do some fun cardio workout to improve my mood and get me excited about getting active way more than a boring treadmill. But I want to be sure I am protected against any leakage and discomfort while I’m enjoying these activities. I know I can count on Playtex® Sport® tampons and liners to keep my period from getting in the way. Ain’t nobody got time for that – I need to be fit to play anyway!

[pullquote width=”300″ float=”left”]NEW! Playtex® Sport® now available in Pads, Liners and Combo Packs at Walmart! Now Sport Level Protection™ pads, liners and combo packs with Flexfit™ design to twist and turn with your body. Don’t let your period get in the way. PlayOn![/pullquote]While I’m at Walmart doing some food shopping for my healthy meals for the week, I grabbed a Playtex® Sport® Combo Pack right from the aisle end cap near the feminine product section of the store. I prefer to use tampons for the first days of my period, and then switch to liners as the flow gets lighter, so I liked that I could get a little of both in one box. These new Body Shape Panty Liners are amazingly thin yet super absorbent for every day protection. Each panty liner has an ultra-soft cover for extra comfort and is individually wrapped making it the perfect on the go accessory. Just toss them in your gym bag and play on! Here are my favorited fun cardio workouts when I’m having a bad day.

Running outdoors. Now that Spring is here, and I have enough allergy medicine to last the entire season, I’m looking forward to running outdoors. No treadmill for me! I love the fresh air, cool breeze and sights to see while on a run. Running really helps me to clear my mind and some of my best ideas have come to me while on a run. If you’re new to running, download a Couch to 5K app on your smart phone to get you started.

Boxing or kickboxing. Listen…if it’s that time of the month, you already want to punch someone anyway, so why not make it into a workout. Boxing and kickboxing is a great full body cardio workout. You engage your arms, your core, your legs – did I say full-body workout? I enjoy taking a kickboxing class at my local gym. I always feel like a warrior princess by the time I’m done! For more of a challenge, you can use weighted gloves or boxing gloves like I’m using here in these pictures.

Zumba. You all know how much I love Zumba. Nothing takes the blues away like dancing to your favorite songs and twerking for a few calories burned. Zumba is a high-energy dance aerobics class that engages your whole body as well. You can go at your own pace, whether you work out at home or head to a local Zumba class in your area.

Give leakage a one, two punch! New Playtex® Sport® Combo Packs come with Tampons and either Pads or Liners, offering two kinds of Sport Level Protection™ to keep you comfortable and dry no matter what the activity. Pack your combo in your gym bag and be ready for running, kickboxing, Zumba, or whichever way you like to move. We’ve got you covered. Pick up a pack at Walmart’s everyday low prices today!
