[Always *]

I've never stopped doing my usual workouts when I am on my period. In my opinion, unless you're one of those people who get really debilitating cramps or something, there is no reason to change your usual routine over a fact of life that's going to happen to you every few weeks for decades. And if you are one of those people who's period is do debilitating that it is affecting your ability to do your normal stuff, then you need to see a doctor. Hell, professional athletes keep going and I doubt most of us are pros, so therefore we can too.

If anything, it is important to stick to your regular workouts because exercise can help relax the muscles that cause cramping and the adrenaline from exercise can help boost your mood and by extension relieve any mood-related PMS symptoms you experience.

Personally, the only thing I don't do when I am on my period is swim, which isn't part of my regular routine any how, because I find tampons sooooo uncomfortable to get out afterwards. I like doing yoga, cardio and circuit training (e.g. a mix of cardio and weight lifting), which is what I do any how.
