How Train Through Your Menstrual Cycle

We all know working out through our periods can suck. Truth be told (by research of course) that it may be one of the best times to push our bodies.
Did you know that we can optimize a woman’s training by monitoring the phases of the menstrual cycle & adjusting their training strategies? Sounds cool, right?
Until a few years ago, I had no idea this was a thing.
I never tracked my cycle or paid any attention to it. Now, I have 3 (yes three) apps on my phone that I use. I also found another that helps you plan training based on your cycle.
So, what is all this cycle science I’m chatting about? Let’s dive deeper.
One thing I should note before going on my tangent.... not all women are created equal. The average menstrual cycle length varies. For some, it may be 21 days and others 35 days. This all must be taken into consideration.

One of the simplest explanations of the cycles on TH-cam that I've come across. Thanks so much for this. Plus, thanks for all those apps. I just downloaded them and can't wait to see how it will help me take advantage of each phase of my cycle. Great video!

Wish these apps could sync up to training platforms with ptd and trainerize!! That would be so helpful.
Thanks for this. Super informative and simple to understand!

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing . I put my female clients on a system that matches their program to the cycle.
Is there a reason that testosterone was omitted from the info?

Hi! Should a woman eat more during lutheal phase?

[@CristinaEzPT]

From what I understand, we experience more cravings and hunger during the Luteal Phase and our body is better at metabolising fats rather than carbs. To prepare and plan for cravings you can increase your intake by 100-200 Calories. For example if you are on a diet, this is the time you can bump your calories during the Luteal Phase and go back to a deficit during the Follicular Phase
