Ladies, have you ever trained one week and felt like an absolute machine then the next week you feel tired and weak?!
We have to take into account the hormone changes throughout the month that affect how we feel and respond to diet and exercise.
In the early stages of the menstrual cycle strength and motivation are high, this means it may be easier to train hard and stick to a more aggressive calorie deficit.
Compared to the later stages where more calories are welcome and training should be more gentle.
It’s useful to track your cycle if you have one, take note of how you feel and perform and adjust things going forwards 😊
Knowledge is power
