Sit ups and bellys: Sadly sit ups will not decrease the belly size - you will have great muscles underneath but fat loss is from weight loss - weight loss is from eating less calories! your period will not affect the sit ups however. Good luck!

Okay: Menstruation is not a contraindication to exercise.
