Cycle Syncing Workouts: Train With Your Hormones
Your strength, stamina, and recovery are not the same every week, because estrogen and progesterone change how your body builds muscle and uses fuel. Cycle syncing your workouts means going harder when your hormones support it and easing off when they do not.
Done right, this means more strength gains, better recovery, and far less burnout than forcing high intensity every single day.
The guides below show you how to train in each phase, from heavy lifting in your follicular and ovulatory phases to restorative movement during your luteal and menstrual phases.
