42: The Dark Side of Cycle Syncing


Listen Later

Cycle syncing has become way over-hyped and created fear around movement for an already under-active population.  It's a money maker.  While this episode might seem like a slam on cycle syncing, I'm not against doing it in the right way if that's what makes you feel better.  It can work for some people, but it has not worked for the majority of people I've communicated with, and myself.  This episode goes over the reasons why I'm not a fan of the traditional way of cycle syncing and present a more realistic and balanced viewpoint of it.  I'm removing the fear around movement and empowering you to take part in any form of movement you feel pulled to do.
