Flowing With Your Cycle

Knowledge Is Power: Flowing With Your Cycle

Have you ever noticed how your energy, mood, and motivation seem to change week by week?
It’s not just in your head — it’s in your hormones. When we learn to work with our cycle instead of fighting it, everything shifts: workouts feel more aligned, rest feels more deserved, and we begin to understand our body’s beautiful rhythm.

Week 1 — Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)

Rest & Reconnect
Your hormones (estrogen + progesterone) are at their lowest — it’s your body’s time for recovery.
🩸 Think of this as your internal winter: slow down, reflect, and nourish.
Focus: gentle movement (like stretching or yoga), warm foods, journaling, and saying no when you need to.

✨ Give yourself permission to pause — your body is doing incredible inner work right now.

Week 2 — Follicular Phase (Days 6–13)

Energy Rising
Estrogen begins to climb, and so does your motivation, creativity, and focus.
🌼 It’s like springtime inside you — new ideas, fresh starts, and renewed energy.
Focus: build new habits, lift heavier, plan projects, dream big.

💡 This is the perfect week to start something new or say yes to adventure.

Week 3 — Ovulatory Phase (Days 14–17)

Power & Connection
Estrogen peaks — and so does your confidence. You’re magnetic, social, and full of life.
🔥 Your body is designed for peak performance now.
Focus: challenging workouts, presentations, social events, communication, connection.

💃 Let yourself shine — this is your inner summer!

Week 4 — Luteal Phase (Days 18–28)

Ground & Prepare
Progesterone rises, metabolism slows, and patience might thin.
🍂 It’s your body’s autumn — a time to turn inward, declutter, and ground.
Focus: balance, self-care, consistent routines, gentle strength training, and nourishing meals.

🌿 Listen closely to what your body needs — less push, more peace.

The Takeaway

When you understand your cycle, you unlock your superpower.
You stop forcing your body into one constant gear — and instead, you flow with it.

Knowledge truly is key 🔑 — and the more you listen, the more your body starts to trust you back.

THE BUT!!!

If you’re signed up in a studio like CrossFit — where the workouts aren’t cycle-based — don’t worry.
You can still make it work for you.

It’s not about changing the whole program — it’s about changing your approach.
Listen to your body.
Some weeks you’ll lift heavy and crush the WOD, other weeks you’ll focus on technique, mobility, or lighter movement.

That’s how you build true balance and strength — by syncing your training with your body, not against it.
