Stop syncing. Start listening ✨
Train based on energy, symptoms, and recovery, not strict cycle rules 💪
Your cycle is not perfectly predictable, and research shows strength performance does not consistently change across cycle phases 📚
Yes, symptoms like cramps 🩸 fatigue 😴 mood changes 😵💫 and bloating can affect training, so adjust based on how you feel.
Keep your usual training, whether it’s lifting 🏋️ cardio 🏃♀️ or Pilates 🧘♀️ and focus on consistency 💕
