WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PERIODS AND WORKOUTS | Krissy Cela

- Familia, please remember that this is a general guide to what’s happening at your time of the month. A healthy cycle can be longer or shorter and symptoms pre and post period can differ from one woman to another. What’s important is that you listen to your body and show it the love and compassion that it deserves throughout your cycle 💙

As a man, this is really useful for me since I'm my gf's personal trainer and I want to have solid info to know how to deal with things that my physiology doesn't experience. Thanks!!
Edit: Wow. 562 likes. I've never got that many likes in a comment before. Thank you all!
Edit 2: Currently my gf is not training due to some health and personal issues that I'm helping her face right now, but as soon as we are stable she'll get back at it 💪.
Edit 3: Haha! Look at all those likes, wow! After a year and a half retired, my girl decided to hop back to working out, but this time with a "not going back" mentality. She's been doing it for almost 3 months, and her progress has me like a 5 y/o kid with his favorite candy 🥺.
I'm still learning a lot about periods and the best practices for her to workout whenever possible during this state. She's not willing to give up, and I'm not willing to let her fall either 💪.
Cute 🤭
@@Gjfdyo5786 Thanks! Gotta do everything to help her in whatever I can
:D
Awwww ...how sweet of you! She is truly lucky to have you :-)
@@fabricesery7974 Haha! Thank you! She agrees with you as well 🙈.
I am 32 have a college education & no one has ever broken this down. I have never been properly educated on the cycles, what they do, and how they FEEL. Thank you this is vital, cannot believe they don’t teach women about their bodies.
It's definitely unfair how little research is done women specific and how little education there is for women specific issues. I'm hoping it can change in the future where things are a bit more equal to both genders.
Same !!!
Hello patriarcale society ! 🙄
That’s exactly how I feel. Even we are adult women with high education, we almost know nothing about our body and try to press us as the non-period group when we are down in spirits
I can't believe you're taking advice from a TH-cam influencer who has no proper education or training. Her "knowledge" comes from internet research. Stop blaming the system and if it was that important to you, maybe you should have gone into the medical field - or consult a doctor.
Specifically, endocrinologists spend years and years getting their education. They are responsible for saving lives of those suffering from metabolic syndromes such as diabetes and adrenal insufficiency. Why are you listening to a high-school dropout instead of an educated individual?
Btw, having a college education doesn't mean jack when your degree has nothing to do with biology. This world is getting more and more ignorant and it's frightening how many educated fools take "influencer info" as fact.
I was angry at my body for all the sugar cravings around my period but recently I found out that we actually burn more calories in that phase. That’s why our bodies tell us they need more carbs, aka fuel to function well. Sending love to all the women giving their best to stay active in their lutheal phase. It’s hard, be gentle to yourself ❤️
I just learned this too!!!! Such a GAME CHANGER for me!
On my period days I eat the whole day non stop around 3 to 4 thousand calories and still maintain my 128 lbs weight I’m 5’4 …so every month I wait for my period coz I can eat a lot without gaining weight coz we burn more calories during that time …
Omg this is great to know! I also have this endless hunger, for me it’s the days before the period starts
thank you and may God bless u for this
I was craving sugars like hella crazy yesterday and didnt know my periods were coming. It's my first day. So is it okay to listen to eat sweet things around that time
Finally a science-based girl talk!! I had to learn this the hard way a while ago, as my cycle has a huge impact in my workouts, personal and professional life, and it has just got worse with time 😢 I loved the format of this video Krissy , please do more of these, they're super helpful and informative 🙏💕💕💕
This was very useful. Thank you
@Plant Powered thank you, I deleted my comment by mistake
I am 45 years old and i made my husband sit down to watch this. This is exactly how i have been feeling. My cycle last 7 days and the first 3 days are the worst but then i start feeling better until a week before. Thank you my husband just hugged me and said i am so sorry but this makes sence to him after all these years.
Awww I love this. I’m 42 and my cycle used to be 5 days now it’s 7 and it be kicking my ass lol. It’s nice to have a better understanding of our bodies because it’s so complex.
Elizabeth Bright has videos about fat and hormones and they have helped me immensely with my periods.
This is such good content for us girls; a lot of training plans are done by men for men, and as women, we need to adapt our training esp. the intensity.
The training for Men is exactly like women training 😂
These are great tips; sadly, I really cannot workout on all 5 days. On Day 3, I bleed like a MF and just want a hot shower all day. Sending love to all women; we got this!
Exactly!! I just wanna take like 5 showers lmaooo
That's totally fine, you know your body best after all! Also i think it doesn't make sense that you feel 100% energized after one day while you're still on your period like she said you should. The way i see it the estrogen levels are building up again starting around day 3 so after a few days, probably when your period ends you're at that level again when HIIT work outs are the right thing to do!
For me day 1, 2 and 3 are like someone is pulling my organs out, stabbing me and twisting the knife, day 4 is better, still pain but can do stuff, 5 no pain, 6 almost over.. 7 done, just last few drops.
I do find working out my butt and legs on my period and before it, helps with the pain a lot, but it is so hard at least first 10 min, later when it gets workout out, pain is no longer pain, more like pain plus other feelings, I guess serotonin kicks in, but it does help a lot. Just the hardest part is to start to move. But if you do decide to workout butt an legs, do wear night pad + two pair of panties, it will start to flow faster, so the period may not last a week, the times I do workout it last 4-5 days only, if not 7 days.
@@HodajuciParadoks I feel ya! Sending you great strength during your cycles! 🤎🤎🤎
@@hayleejohnson4890 right?!!
Day 1 today and yes, feeling sluggish right now! Great timing Krissy! I have been taking my workouts seriously these past three months and I always feel bad for not going to the gym when I'm on my period. I don't stop moving my body, but when I do lift weights I don't feel my absolute best, so I should take it slow on my first day. Thank you for this video. You are helping a lot of women going through these phases and you best believe this is what we all need. Knowledge is power! Love you too! (:
KRISSSYYY!! This video could not have come at a more perfect time!!!! 🥹 Thank you so much!! AND PLEASE keep being you! 🤍🤍
All this is super important and not discussed enough, thank you. I approach my workouts as always doing the best I can for that day. My cycle is one predictable factor but stress and sleep are wild cards. It's very unscientific but I just listen to my body and have compassion for it.
I think this video will be soo helpful for a lot of girls and women! The last couple of years I started to educate myself on my cycle and it really helped me to understand my body, and like you said, to not feel so sorry for myself but rather understanding that it's just my hormones that make me feel that way. And what a timing that you post this video when today was my first day of the cycle - and I still wondered why my gym session on Wednesday was so bad 😂
This is the most helpful video about women training i've ever seen. It's absolutely comforting to be assured that I'm not the only one going through this chaotic cycle for 400 times. Thanks Krisssy!
This was soo helpful!! No one ever talks about fitness in relationship to being a woman like this, but we are cyclical creatures and understanding that gives us the knowledge we need to harness our power. Thank you Krissy!!
I absolutely loved this video!! I was actually feeling depleted and out of energy this week along with not hitting my usual weights and workouts like I have been that past two other weeks, this video explains why! I am about to get my period so this just made me feel more better and knowledgeable about what's going on with me. Also, I do AGREE knowledge is power so this was very helpful, nobody ever talks about menstrual cycles and IT SHOCKS ME! We need more of this, thank you so much for doing the research KRISSY! This is why I stay watching your content, XX love you!
Women are queen like for real , we go through so much and we still smile and care for others at the end of the day… love u Krissy 💕
This is the best educational guide out there for girls into fitness. I hit my reset button tomorrow and I’ve been feeling low. I’m planning on taking a week break to give my body time to rest ❤️. You’re the best Krissy 🌞
I’m 38 and going to share this with my daughter who is 16. We both love the gym but I do feel empowered when I understand why my body does what it does. Also makes me feel better in the gym cause some days are comfy gym clothes days! Thank you 🙏
This could not have come at a better time. Was literally at the gym “phoning it in” on day 2 of my period. Not motivated, doing lower weights and trying to motivate myself by saying “at least I’m here” and remembered you had a video on this that I hadnt watched yet. Now i feel better that my body is just going through alot. Thanks for all your videos and the time you put into them making sure they’re accurate. I’ve started following you not too long ago, since starting my health journey. Thanks a million !
It's a great reminder that our sluggish moods aren't our fault but are just the way our bodies feel sometimes! We're all doing our best. 💖
Same here! I felt like such a failure this week and like I had zero motivation and strength. It’s so rude that our body goes through so many changes every day and we can’t just be 🙄 lol
Either way at least we know it gets better in a few days 🙏💕
So helpful! I went to the gym this morning and felt so deflated and unenergised. I struggled to life a weight which I have found to comfortable over the last 2 weeks. This completely explains why. Thank you!xx
The editing of this video was just brilliant. Make me chuckle! Amazing, free content as always Krissy. Thank you!
This is amazing and makes so much sense! I'm literally on day 3 and I just did a workout earlier this morning. I'm feeling great! And it's wild to think that I was feeling like absolute crap just a couple days ago. It all lines up!
Love, love, love this! I’m literally 1 day away from my cycle and I’m feeling so sluggish. All your videos are so educational, please don’t stop making them!!! ❤️
Thank you Krissy! I struggled with doing exercises or splits that male trainers did and I didn’t fully comprehend how our cycles impact is so big! Love u xx
Wow you explained this so well ❤️ I felt quiet guilty when I have my “mood swings” but now I understand more I feel that I can be fully in touch with my emotions (which is something I tend to have trouble with). Absolutely amazing information thank you so much 🌻
I Needed this 🥺 just hit my period day 1 and this made me feel better ❤️ we appreciate the level of effort you make for your videos! Thankyou 🙏🏼
Yes yes YES!!!!! I’ve known for ages that I’m affected by my cycles when it comes to working out. This just confirms it for me. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼
I absolutely love seeing this spoken about by big fitness influencers! So many women are so mis-informed or just not informed about their cycles, especially in relationship to fitness and exercising. Love to see it!
Now I understand my body. Im really wondering why there are times that I feel strong and really increasing my weights but there are days that my body feel so weak, and I cant lift same weights. Thanks, Krissy!
that's why I have to keep switching weights when I train with my gf 😒
Thank you for breaking this down to a level where it is so simple to understand. You are just so inspiring to listen to ❤️
I love this video Krissy! Never thought about this before but it is actually important to know about how our body functions. Thank you Krissy!
This video is so helpful. Every woman may go through periods but understanding your own body and it’s hormones is a challenge in itself. Thank you for taking the time to educate us 👏🏼
I learned more about my body from this video than any years of school ever did; I am forever grateful for this
Krissy... Side note... You are amazing and don't let anxiety or ANYONE tell you ANY different!!! BOSS! QUEEN! AMAZING WOMAN!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I have a trainer and workout with him 2-3 times a week and try to do the rest of my workouts by myself. I always have to tell him I’m on my cycle because there’s days I’m just not feeling it. I think it’s important for men who train women to know this information also.
This video absolutely came at the right time. Currently struggling with phase 2 and didn’t know anything about it. Explains a lot. Thanks so much K
I think the nutrition piece with cycle syncing is very important too. The second half of the cycle it is detrimental if you cut any calories because we are literally making an organ and the body needs calories that time. I am actually eating excess those days and not gaining any extra weight ever! Good tip for PMS bloating and constipation: have green banana flour in your shakes, or eat cold rice, the resistant starches help to ease stuff a bit. I hope having this knowledge about our cycles will be as transformational as it is for me too ☺️ big hugs
I am on Day 3 and this is so accurate! Yesterday I did a gentle yoga class which was so helpful, and today I planned to do a full body HIRT Circuit. I definitely feel a lot more energized today! Thanks for this! Btw, I love that color shirt on you!
I can’t believe i didn’t know this stuff before! I’m so grateful that I clicked.. especially recently I’ve been feeling so down about not being able to hit the PRs I hit a few weeks ago, feeling slow, tired and like I’m gaining weight .. this video came at just the right time thank you so much!
I stupidly love the editing on this! I was searching for the editor because this is just so visually-pleasing, but still informative!
This is a great video. I recommend pairing it with “fast like a woman” (TH-cam search should pull it up using that term). For those of us doing intermittent fasting and carb cycling, all of this info is super valuable when paired with working out. Our cycle makes our ideal diet and exercise plans SO MUCH DIFFERENT than those of men. We have to honor some of the things our body is demanding if we want to thrive. Thanks so much for the info Krissy!
Thank you Krissy xx really informative and inspiring ~ the best thing we can do as women going forward is to make a personalised fitness program to our individual needs and be gentle on ourselves if we can't hit those weights on certain days of our cycles Xx
i love how Krissy just knows how to breakdown and explain things! Tysm Krissy❤
I love how this video is science / research based and it’s so important to discuss this. I’ve just started my career in this field (personalised nutrition) but also been doing a lot of research on womens bodies and womens health. I have to add that there’s actually 4 separate stages of the monthly cycle: follicular, ovulation, luteal and menstrual so there’s loads more information on that out there - I learned a lot from the book “In the Flo” by Alisa Vitti and it was a really good start to understanding my body and womens cycles - deffoooo recommend! Thank you for starting this conversation Krissy xx
Your videos are always spot on with what I’m needing! Lol it’s my time of the month and I was lifting on day three but still wasn’t feeling completely myself or proud of my workout. We as women go through so much during our cycle! Deff a gentle reminder Thank you Krissy 🤍 I’ve been following you throughout my journey and have lost 50 pounds and gained a tremendous amount of muscle my year anniversary is this month! You’re amazing!
Omg why do they not teach this in school??! This video was so informational. Thanks Krissy💕
I didn't realize I NEEDED this info! I was just beating myself up for not feeling great about my recent workouts. It was just my body in a different phase. Thank you for this info! I have definitely seen all these symptoms during my cycle. It's good to know it's a common thing!
This is such an important video. You're 100% right about feeling better when you start to understand your body. Thank you for all this information and staying so empathetic throughout the video. I'm going to keep coming back to this as a refresher, no more "is something wrong with me" mindset over here 🎉
Super glad you made this video Krissy! Unfortunately,i lost my period a year ago due to overexercising,undereating and not utalizing rest time.I find this a very common issue among beginner women.
I feel like one of the reasons we forget about our cycle when it comes to fitness is because we have lack of knowledge about it.
I'm so happy that you've emphasized this topic.🙏
Lots of love💓💗
Just increase body fat and it will come back
Im about to have my periods and landed on this video just in time. Super useful and editing is just wow.
Love this video! Thank you for your transparency, honesty, and vulnerability for talking about a taboo topic that shouldn't be taboo!! You da best
Hey. I watched this on the 2nd day of my period and got the strength to workout yesterday (my third day). I am not one who works out on her period, I mainly just use it as an excuse. But I did a Cardio & Abs workout yesterday, as you said to do some High intensity bc of the new hormone, and NO CRAMPING!! Did a mobility and stretching video today and feel on top of the world, ready for ANYTHING (and the stretching definitely is helping with the back and neck pains I get during this week. I’m going to listen to my body for the rest of this week, but rn I feel amazing!
I am currently at the beginning of phase 2 of my cycle, & let me tell you the last thing I want to do is lift. I’m actually watching this about 10 minutes before my workout & it’s motivating me to just get up & do it - even though I’m sleepy & totally unmotivated. Your video has given me some new perspective. Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️❤️
Interesting I always wondered why I felt my best on my cycle, there's this sense of release. Always thought that the week of the period is the end of a phase not the start of one, so it's all in reverse, this is the time to be active not the other way around...rest first two days then take a good advantage of the upcoming 2 weeks. Plan your activities around the two phases for the best results. Awesome, THANK YOU
The recent video editings are great! A lot of useful information - Thank you Krissy !
thank you so much for this Krissy, i’m sure a lot of us women needed a video like this! 🥺💗
I needed it exactly today! While I'm at the end of my cycle... Thank you, Krissy! Even though there is nothing really new, it's never enough to remind...😘
And all this time I thought my period only lasted as long as the bleeding.. thank you so much for this valuable information! 🙏🏻💕
It’s so amazing the way the body is designed. This video was so informative and much needed for all of us women and the girls too. The more we understand the biology of our bodies, the better we can work with our bodies instead of against them
Incredibly grateful for this knowledge! Thank you so much, I really needed that, can’t wait to gain control over all the circumstances of my cycle ❤️
Sooo glad we're finally having this chat. Ladies stop beating yourself up for not being at 100% every dayyyyyyyy 💖
I have been reading and hearing this a lot but it's actually the first time I understood!! Thank you for this video, it was very helpful xx
I’m nearing my period and all this info hit the spot and explains each phase and it is to the tee!!
Can’t thank you enough for making this video! As I get older and progress with my fitness journey I’ve become more aware of my cycle and all the factors that’s play apart with how I feel and perform but it nice to have someone such as you to actually make it an open conversation and make us feel less alone about what we go through with our periods and training❤️👏🏻❤️
It’s so so important !! So happy you enjoyed ❤
Krissy, I am watching your videos for years by now.As a Fertility Awerness Educator I cant thank you enough for spreading this information to women! They can so easily check which phase they are in, just by checking their 2 fertility signs (cervical mucus and basal body temperature), so worth it especially for sport performance and for contraception 🥰 (Check any Symptothermal method educator in your area) Thanks so much! 🥰
I love that you always put out helpful content like this 👏🏼❤️
Thank you for this video. I'm expecting my period these days and am feeling really bloated. I've been telling myself it's okay, and that there's an explanation for that, but sometimes there's just too many negative thoughts. Thank you for confirming this and reminding me. Another thing is that I´ve noticed my workouts are really hard to get through and some days it feels like I´m going backwards, and now that you are mentioning it: YES, it gets worse the closer I´m getting to my period. Wow, it all makes sense now. Thank you for this really.
Edits were so cool, nicely done Sasha!! A very informative, scientific-based video, per usual. Thank you thank you Krissy!!!
Loved seeing this from you! I do slightly disagree on doing hitt during the luteal phase. There is some evidence that high intensity workouts in the luteal phase can be damaging. I personally went through a tough time with my hormones because of this. I have learned to really just listen to my body. As women its important to realize that most fitness studies are done on men. Every single week, 5-6 times a week may not be the best for our bodies. I know it wasn't for mine and i have seen MORE progress by taking it so easy and slow during that second half of the cycle. Really tuning into what your body needs is key ❤️
You are so right! I used to train 2-3 times a week and was totally lean and had no water retention in my body! the moment i worked out 5 to sometimes 6 times a week EVERYTHING changed! I gained weight. Felt horrible. Couldnt understand why and was super sad! My body was full of water retention and i was so bloated. our bodies are all different. 5 times a week doesnt work out for my body
I can’t do anything high intensity or even lift as heavy as I normally do during the luteal phase and I’m at my weakest at that time. I even minimize the amount of times I’m at the gym during that time because I’m so fatigued. I’m a pole dancer also and I struggle with my strength during that time too. Two to 3 days after my period is when I start getting my strength back like Krissy said so I think during the luteal phase I’ll just walk on the treadmill at a 10% incline since I struggle with working out legs the most during that time.
@@stefanienoa4674 Same! When I was training on my own following youtube videos, I’d train 4-5 days a week and did a lot of workouts on those days and didn’t see much progress. Now I only go to the gym twice a week, flexibility one day a week and pole dancing twice a week and I’m finally seeing results. I’ve been doing this for about 4 months now.
YES. I worked out for 4-5 days a week for like 3 years and saw very little progress and thought that meant working myself harder was the answer. Because of health issues I had to take it down a notch and discovered my body was allll about that. I felt so much better and looked more lean when I worked out maybe 3 days a week. Realizing my cycle was a major factor and how women and men vary in training needs...changed my world.
@@theresefrancis9283 same!! 3 days a week is the sweet spot for me and definitely working out to fit my cycle is so key!
Thank you! This just validated how I feel every month. It's so reassuring to know it's not just me being weak or a complainer. My body is going through hormonal changes making me feel that way!
I love how your content just keeps getting better and better! And I can really see your passion shining through I love it :)
Loved this!!!! Krissy = no.1 influencer empowering women!!! And Sacha coming through with the editing!
I. Love. This!!! You’re the first female fitness influencer who’s mentioned all of this which is incredibly important for us to know how to work around our body’s natural rhythm rather than forcing ourselves through a workout that is maybe not ideal at a certain time in our cycle. 💙
She’s not but go off sis
it really was useful. thank you Krissy, for putting in the work for research and checking it and then also presenting it in a clear way. btw, would love a quick 5 minute every day stretching routine :)
Wow! This was amazing. I've tried looking at other videos and reading articles but could never really understand it. I had been so curious about training and periods and this was spot on. Thank you so much Krissy
This is sooo good to hear right now. I’m at my day 2 and I am feeling absolutely not like myself. I kinda fear being in this state but when I remember it’s a cycle I calm down.
This is insane. I was legit thinking about this topic today, as my period came while at the gym haha. I usually take more days off while on my period but it sets me back, so thanks for the info!
I’m literally on my period right now and this is so helpful! THANK YOU 💖😭
Me too!
Sameee girls
samee bestie!!! im on my first day and had an EXTREME cheat day imma go do a cardio workout(i don't get horrible cramps)
Me too
Same
Thank you so much for this video, and for taking us through this journey of learning about our bodies. You are truly doing amazing work.
Literally getting my period soon and just really enjoyed watching this video and being able to relate so much and understand why my body is feeling the way it is 🙈❤️
Great to see you getting this info out there. This has definitely helped me be more compassionate with myself if i'm not feeling 100% at every point of the cycle and give myself permission to rest in luteal and menstrual phases. Editing on this video is awesome!
It’s so important honestly! It completely changes your mindset on how you should treat yourself and be kind to yourself ❤
The Flo app is amazing at tracking everything you’re talking about! Hormones, how you may feel and advice so this is like a refresher! Thank you for sharing 💞
i like it too but its expensive now so i use my Samsung health
@@eseoghene27ighorae59 you can get the free version! I’ve used it for years before getting the premium one which was $20 Canadian dollars for the year when I opted in a couple months ago, love the app
Makes so much sense! It's not necessarily me or my mindset but my hormones that throws my workout off! There are times I just feel like I can't measure up to "my own" standards even with great motivation & a Great workout the previous days! I become too hard on myself & disappointed bc I didn't understand what happened. NOW I DO!!! Thank 😊 You for this Krissy, Eye Popping revelation!!
Thank you! I have been watching so many videos about this subject and your video has been the most informative. Straight to the point. I've been tracking my cycle for months so I can adjust my strength trying around it and you made it so much easier for me to do that now. Thank you again.
It never occurred to me until recently that I can/should train around my period but I feel so much better physically & mentally. Physically bc I’m taking advantage of the energy boosting hormones to do those intense, hard workouts. & mentally bc I don’t have to beat myself up when I don’t have enough energy to do a hard work. That’s when I can ease up but still feel like I’m getting things accomplished.
The editing was on another level 👏🏼 Made the information so much more understandable, but 10:30 was the highlight for me 😂
YES THANK YOU KRISSY!!!!! This is all new info for me on the phases and food and all so thank you so much!
What an excellent video! Thank you. This has helped me tremendously! Day 1 of my cycle here and lifting today felt so hard, no energy! It makes so much sense now. Thank you! ❤
This is so helpful. I have been on contraceptive forover 6 year I haven’t had a period in about 5 year so I just stop tracking my cycle. The way you just explained this made me realize That every month i have that one day where I feel completely drained I have 0 energy and feel really emotional and then I’ll have that1-2 days where I feel like the baddest b**** I feel unstoppable and if I accompany that with a good workout forget it 💁🏼♀️ I just feel amazing. This helped me a lot cause although I don’t get a period after watching this I feel like my body still goes through a cycle and I can start maybe tracking it by my mood and instead of beating myself up because I didn’t do my PB I can just start understanding my body and learn how to treat it most importantly how to treat my mind. Thinking back I’ve had had months where on thah one day that I felt drained and just not my best I still went to the gym and tried to lift and beat my PB because I was trying to “fight” feeling unmotivated which later resulted in crappy workout sections the rest of the week or taking 3-4 rest days the week after instead of 2 because my body just felt beat. Thank you for this women don’t get taught a lot about our body’s, our hormones and when you a fitgal there’s even less information out there. Thank you 🙏🏻
You do not have any hormone cycle when you’re on hormonal contraceptives
Further suggestion: Could you do a video on hypothalamic amenorrhoea? In other words, loss of periods due to too much stress, sport, restrictive eating etc.? A lot of women are affected by this and it is an issue that needs more attention. Especially in sports it is not uncommon for women to lose their periods, thus increasing the risk of osteoporosis. I myself was affected for several years but I managed to regain a healthy natural cycle. The video was so informative and well edited. ♥️
Go to a doctor, she is not a doctor.
How did you manage to regain your cycle? I'm in the same situation, as a teen but I'm also two -three weeks into recovery and still waiting ;(
@@Liz-dq2ov I totally understand the frustration and stress of losing your cycle - I lost mine for roughly a year and a few months. I would def first suggest going to see a gynecologist, just to make sure things are okay! I saw one, and it turns out I was underweight and my hormone levels were quite low for some key hormones involved in the menstrual cycle regulation. I had to gain back some weight that I lost from working out (which I really struggled with and had such a hard time dealing with), but I actually continued working out and eating properly and enough to help make sure that the weight I was gaining was healthy muscle weight and not just fat weight. Luckily after months of that, my period made its first appearance and has been pretty regular since.
All the best!! You got this
@@bitsandpieces22 thank you so much !! I would love to see one but I don’t think I will be able to, I’ve weight restored after a month and a few weeks (mostly just fat weight as I wasn’t allowed to exercise) but now I am allowed to slowly introduce weight lifting again!
@@Liz-dq2ov ahh that’s awesome to hear!! Hope all goes well soon-you got this! 💗💗🙌
I love this... I have learned from my trainer that women are very powerful and so much more so when in alignment with what is going on with them. As a guy, I really now see how much more aware I can be of the women who are important to me and that has already paid of huge in all areas of my life. This kind of content needs more attention!
I literally make notes on my training where I am in my cycle. I have found it’s helpful in understanding why am I where I am in my training. Thanks for bringing attention to this very important topic ❤
Finally someone other than James Smith talking about training on period 🙌 👏
So much better listening to a female talking about a symptom we all have to deal with 👍
Literally got my period today and was wondering exactly this!!! Always reading my mind Krissy 🙌🙌
I’m saying!!!
Same
Can we acknowledge the edit and the effects. The quality not only as information, but the quality of the video az visual digital product. Pure excellence
Wow so thankful. You (and your team) really explained why I feel how I feel. I am on my third day of my period today also and I hit two PBs today.
Our hormones are a rollercoaster, and that's healthy. Knowing 'why' we changing week-to-week is critical to appreciating the ride.
Yes! I definitely needed this. Also, can we get an updated makeup routine? You look amazing 🥰
and hair🥺

I love this!! So informative and you've broken it down so it's easy to understandddd!! Why has no one ever made like this before, wish I knew all this sooner!! You're the best vibes as well always such positive energyyyy
I have adhd and I’ve never been able to sit through an educational video… I just wanna say I sat through this whole video and remembered exactly what I learned .. you have to be the video god because this was amazing thank you so much definitely just got a new subscriber
I started training and I didn't have my period for 3 months, I opened up about this subject to a girl in my gym who convinced me it's better like this and to enjoy it because she hadn't gotten hers for like a year. It's so sad how there isn't almost any other fitness coach who talks about this.. Thankfully, I've gotten my period back after fueling my body enough
Started working out a few weeks ago, having my period this week and it’s very light
Eat more ! Don't be scared girl , we often underestimate how much calories we burn in the gym ..
That happened to me when I was a teenager for months I didn't get my period luckily it eventually came back
It happened to me too and I think it also has to do with the fact that when we go from not working out to working out often our body is just trying to adapt .. thankfully my periods came back after 4 months, it was very light and irregular but now its getting more and more regular
