CYCLE SYNCING
What Is Cycle Syncing?
Cycle syncing syncs the intensity of a workout to the phase of the month your in from a 28 day menstrual cycle which is the average cycle but as well as some cycles varying from 23 to 35 days. Our hormones are constantly circulating throughout the month making us feel sluggish one day and strong the other. Have you ever noticed that if you try lifting heavy weights on your period it’s harder as opposed to when you're not. And that is because during our menstrual phase our bodies are weaker and need time to rest. Which is why you would want to choose a low-impact workout on those days.
Is Cycle Syncing Actually Important?
Some women have seen that practicing cycle syncing has helped with energy, fewer mood swings, and more effective workouts. Cycle syncing is a new concept so there isn’t much scientific studies however, some studies do show that cycle syncing your workouts help with mood, appetite and sleep. In order to start cycle syncing you choose the workout based on the phase of the month you're in. I’ve listed below the workouts that you should be done during each phase.
