here’s the truth: you probably DON’T need to go harder - you probably just need to rest a little bit 🤠 if you’re like me then you probably weren’t taught about hormone fluctuations and how they effect your motivation, drive and physical strength. instead we’re told that we need to suck it up and go harder. this advice might work for men but not women! here’s why: male hormones cycle on a 24 hour basis, meaning they’re virtually the same from day to day (a dream ☁️). female hormones cycle on a 28-32 day basis, meaning we’re different every. single. week. 🤯 our brain chemistry actually changes 25% throughout the month! after our period, our hormones rise bringing in motivation, discipline and the ability to lift heavier during workouts. then our hormones slowly start to decline causing us to have less energy, less motivation and we are physically weaker. this is when we try to “suck it up” and “just push through,” which leaves us feeling even more tired and depleted. the good news is that this is cyclical and you can learn to adjust your workouts around your cycle. this can majorly decrease PMS, painful periods and help you optimize your energy levels! if you’re wanting to work with your body instead to get better results without the frustration, try out my hormone happy workouts on my profile 🎧👟 #fitnesscoach #workoutroutine #beginnerfitness #strengthtrainingforwomen #strengthtraining #cyclesyncing #womensfitness #homeworkout
