just read the weirdest thing

so, i picked up a pilates dvd the other day in a hopes to get maybe a litte bit in shape for the wedding (not holding my breath on that given it's less than 2 months away!). i was reading through the insert and it said the weirdest thing:

'If you are menstruating, avoid inverted exercises, backbends, or virgorous standing exercises.'

?!?!?!?! anyone know what that's about?
