@dr.dwyer: The data shows there actually isn’t a huge difference in strength output or energy output across the board. Women can, and have been, hitting PRs while on their periods. By believing in such a blanket statement that cycle-syncing provides, I think it takes away autonomy and self-awareness from the particular woman. Everybody and every body is different, so you should listen to YOUR body instead of believing internet hype. If you’re more tired or burnt out in your luteal phase, scale it back a bit. If you wake up feeling refreshed and have energy - crush it! I lift every single week independent of my cycle phase. Instead of completely derailing my program to only yoga during my period, I may do this instead: - take off from the gym on days 1-2 if I’m crampy and out of it - scale back how much I can lift because energy is down - lift the same, but decrease how many reps or sets I complete - take longer breaks in between sets to rebuild that energy to lift again - hydrate more, stretch more, and try to get more sleep this week at night (8.5 hours instead of 8, etc) We encourage our clients to listen to their bodies and do what they can, when they can. We don’t completely change up their programming just because they are ovulating, or bleeding. This approach gives clients autonomy to make decisions about their body and allows them to tap into how to their feeling instead of just listening to a TikTok video telling them what they should do 🙄 If you’re ready to tackle your health goals, learn more about your body, and feel empowered making decisions for it, apply to work with our team!
