You’ve probably heard me say that not all workouts are created equal—especially when you have PCOS. In this follow-up to our popular “Best & Worst Workouts for PCOS” episode, I’m diving deeper into the concept of cycle syncing your workouts.

We’ll break down what’s happening with your hormones in each phase of your cycle and how to align your movement to match—so you can boost energy, reduce cortisol, and finally see the progress you’ve been working for.

Whether your cycle is like clockwork or totally unpredictable, this episode will help you tune in, move with intention, and stop spinning your wheels.

✨ We cover:

Why syncing your workouts to your cycle matters for PCOS

The best types of movement for each phase of your cycle

How daily HIIT might be doing more harm than good

What to do if your cycle is irregular or you're not ovulating
