Today's podcast we talk about working out less (or working out in a smarter way) in order to lose weight with less effort. Doing this takes adjusting our workout plans to our feminine cycle. Specifically in this episode I am talking about how to workout in your luteal and menstrual phase. Should we workout on our period? Changes you want to make during your luteal phases are decreases cardio, lowering the duration of your workout time, and decreasing intensity. yes this means avoiding HIIT during this phase will give you better results. Cortisol is what causes women to hang onto weight even when we are working out hard and eating less. Weight training, pilates, barre, and moderate workouts are great during this phase. Rolling into menstrual phase slowing down even more. Yoga is great but that is not the only workout to do. Mobility, static stretches, and even long meditations can take up your workout time during this phase. Also use this phase as a reflection. Go inward. How did that previous cycle go? Are you closer or further from your goal? What kinds of workouts do you want to avoid or incorperate in the next 28 days. This mindset was the hardest for myself and my clients to grasp because we have been told if we push harder we will get to our goals, but what if pushing is holding you back and making it harder to lose weight?
