8) FITNESS: Cycle Syncing Summary: a basic overview of your period & exercise


Listen Later

We know about menstruation and ovulation. But what about Luteal and Follicular?! And how do these four phases in a single cycle impact exercise, if at all?

  • Have you ever blamed or doubted yourself for not being able to show up 100% all the time?
  • Have you ever thought, "why cant I be as motivated as everyone else?!"
  • Do you feel "crazy" for your inconcsistencies? (I bet they're patterned and directly related to your hormonal shifts).

What if I told you you're NOT alone...

That myself and MANY others are also expriencing fatigue or weakness some weeks, spikes in energy and motivation other weeks, and coasting without much thought on some too.

Join me in this short overview of what the four phases are and what I recommend you do to create more alignment between YOU and your body.

While this is NOT my specialty as a certified personal trainer, it IS something I bring up inside my fitness program with all clients.

I find that giving this cycle syncing summary to my fitness clients creates space for them to be more flexible with their expectations.

GOAL: I loved creating this episode and I want to go deeper! My goal is to find someone who specializes in this exact topic so I can do another episode with that guest. I know it'll be valuable beyond belief. If you know of anyone, let me know!
