On today’s episode of the podcast, we revisit training around your menstrual cycle. Just because your hormones fluctuate does not mean your training needs to change. You might experience days when you feel like crap before or during your period and you might need to change intensity or maybe skip the gym, but your general programing should remain the same. In this episode, we talk about the myths behind period training programs, seeking help and answers if you have harder periods, training with anemia, and why listening to your body is important. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The myths behind “period training programs”
• Listening to your body vs. rigid hormone charts
• How to adjust training without losing progress
• What research really says about strength across phases
• Why skipping workouts for half your cycle is harmful
• Anemia, iron levels, and their impact on training
