Cycle Syncing your Exercises

By: Emma Morris

Do you ever feel like some weeks you have way more energy than other weeks don’t know why? Well, for women our menstrual cycle plays a major role in that.

The average menstrual cycle is 28 to 29 days (Department of Health & Human Services, 2001). In each phase your body is going through many different changes and experiences.
