Cycle Syncing

Many women are beginning to talk about cycle syncing, this involves adjusting your exercise routine to align with your menstrual cycle choosing specific workouts for specific phases of the menstrual cycle. The idea of cycle syncing is a popular trend that needs more research although as women we instinctively know the idea has merit, we have all experienced the differences in both our bodies and emotional feelings during the different phases of our menstrual cycle.

The best advice is to track how you are feeling during your cycle and adjust the intensity of your training routine, sometimes a heavy weight session feels great, sometimes it doesn’t. Knowing when to run with high intensity or walk/jog with a lower to moderate intensity is all part of understanding what our bodies need. A good personal trainer or class instructor will listen to you and adapt the exercise session accordingly.
