Let's talk about something that actually matters for your health: muscle. Not just looking "toned" (because, let's be honest, that word is overused and under-explained), but truly building lean muscle—the kind that makes you feel strong, energized, and unstoppable. If you take one thing away from this, let it be this: protein is non-negotiable. I don't care how much you're lifting—if you're not getting enough protein, your body can't build muscle. Period. Most women think they're eating enough protein, but in reality? They're getting half of what they need. Imagine thinking you're filling up your gas tank, but you're actually running on fumes. That's what happens when you skimp on protein. Here's what to do: Aim for at least 120-140g of protein daily (more if you're in menopause!). Space it out throughout the day—think protein pacing, not just one big shake at the end of the night. Lean into easy sources: eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, and bars. Muscle doesn't magically appear from cardio or tiny pink dumbbells. You need resistance training—something that challenges your muscles so they can rebuild stronger. If you're new to lifting, start small: Push-ups on the kitchen counter → then on your knees → then full push-ups. Bodyweight squats → then add weights → then increase reps. Dumbbell work—presses, rows, lunges—all amazing for muscle growth. Women can gain about 0.5 to 1 pound of muscle per month with consistency. It takes time, but it's 100% worth it. Hormones play a huge role in muscle growth, and your cycle impacts when you build muscle best. Follicular phase (post-period to ovulation): Your body is primed for building muscle. Push harder, lift heavier, challenge yourself. Luteal phase (post-ovulation to period): Recovery takes longer. Focus on maintaining muscle and prioritizing rest. Menopause? Your body needs more protein and heavier weights to achieve the same muscle growth as before. If you're doing everything “right” but still struggling to build muscle, check these culprits: Not eating enough → Muscle growth needs fuel, not restriction. Chronic stress → High cortisol can literally break down your muscle. Poor sleep → Recovery happens when you rest, not when you push harder. So, What Now? No more second-guessing. No more wasting time on workouts that don't work for you. You have the shortcut—protein, strength training, and syncing with your body. Want a step-by-step blueprint customized for you? I've got you covered.

CIPD research shows that 67% of UK working women aged between 40 and 60 with menopausal symptoms had experienced a negative impact on their work, with 79% reporting feeling less able to concentrate at work. Clearly, hormones play a large role in the lives of female founders of all ages. I wanted to hear from a team with great experience in helping people overcome hormonal imbalances. Margo Marrone, founder of The Organic Pharmacy and her daughter Roxy are the co-founders of eyeam, the solution-led skincare, supplements and education brand. Inspired by Roxy's experience with adult acne and hormonal imbalance, the duo are supporting people to overcome debilitating conditions which impact their energy both at work and at home. Keep listening to hear Roxy and Margo's advice on how founders can harness their hormones at work and how they can create a supportive environment for their teams too. Margo & Roxy's advice:Never go against what your body is telling youThe four different hormonal phases are effectively four different sets of skills:Follicular - energised, a good time to schedule and planOvulatory - communicative, a good time to set up talks and eventsLuteal - detail-driven, a good time to tackle paperworkMenstrual - a good time for rest and reflectionCommunication is important; there is no shame attached to your bodily cycle so share how you are feeling. This is constructive and helpful for your colleaguesListen to your needs; you don't have to push to the limitsManaging hormones is not just a physical concern, it's a mental one too.

Ever wondered how understanding the menstrual cycle could be the secret key to unlocking the patterns in your mood, energy levels, and sex drive? This episode is your ultimate guide to decoding the four phases of the menstrual cycle and their profound effects on your daily life. From the low energy and low libido during the menstrual phase, to the peak energy and libido levels of ovulation, and the mood swings and low libido of the luteal phase, our menstrual cycle impacts intimacy in many ways. Drawing from personal experiences and professional insights as a therapist-in-training, Shelly demystifies how our hormonal changes impact relationships and sexual health.Learn how heightened libido and increased lubrication during ovulation can spice up your intimate moments and why period sex might actually alleviate cramps. We also underscore the importance of communication with your partner, especially during the luteal phase, when PMS or PMDD could amplify anxiety and relationship doubts. Fluctuating libido is perfectly normal, and self-compassion is key. Want to learn more about your menstrual cycle and tracking your period and ovulation?

We are revisiting the business cycle and how it relates to the menstrual cycle, much like we did in Episode 13 on Recessions, but we compare the phases in each cycle, side-by-side this time and break it down further. What Is The Business Cycle? The Business Cycle is Periods of economic expansion and contraction based on the 3-Ds we discussed last time: depth (how bad is it?), diffusion (how widespread?), and duration (how long?) of a broad range of economic indicators. The periods of expansion and contraction begin and end with what is called “turning points” as defined by the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research). The turning points become peaks and troughs. Peaks are when the economy is slowing down. Trough is when it picks back up. Why Does It Matter? Monitoring economic data, such as GDP and unemployment, is crucial for assessing the health of the economy and making informed investment decisions. The stock market is not the economy, but it is closely related to the business cycle and the health of the consumer. Understanding the business cycle can help investors anticipate market trends and adjust their investment strategies accordingly. Hard Landing vs Soft Landing vs No Landing Soft landing is a slowdown in economic growth with a controlled reduction in inflation (think of a pilot making a slow controlled descent under the cloud cover to safely land a plane) and it's usually followed by a period of growth. Hard landing occurs when the economy contracts sharply due to the central bank's efforts to control inflation (raising interest rates too high for too long). No-landing occurs when the economy continues to grow despite a series of contractions in monetary policies. "The business cycle, it's like the menstrual cycle, more than just a period." In this analogy: The Uterus is the Economy The Business Cycle is the Menstrual Cycle The Stock Market is NOT the economy, it's a bunch of companies. So in this example, it could be companies selling pads, tampons, birth control, etc. [Disclosure: we're not medical doctors or scientists, so just go with our analogy for funsies.] The Business Cycle Compared to the Menstrual Cycle The business cycle is economic phases of expansion and contraction, similar to the Follicular and Luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, with peak and trough turning points, similar to Ovulation and Menstruation. We also discuss the importance of monitoring economic data, such as GDP and unemployment, to assess the health of the economy and make informed investment decisions.

In this episode of my live coaching series, I talk with Jessica who deals with a long follicular phase and delayed ovulation. Delayed ovulation and irregular cycles can throw off a number of things in the female body, including fertility. Jessica's main goal is to achieve a more balanced cycle - both for her overall health and her fertility journey as she and her husband try for their second child. A former primary school teacher, Jessica found her stress levels were high due to the demands of her job. She transitioned to a high school teaching role which reduced her stress significantly, the first big step in regulating hormones. The follicular phase is the first half of your menstrual cycle, starting on the first day of menstruation and lasting until ovulation. This phase involves the maturation of follicles in the ovaries, leading to the release of an egg during ovulation. A typical follicular phase lasts around 14 days. Here are some tools for regulating the hormone cycle: 1. Manage stress 2. Nutrition support: Eat for your cycle. This includes warming and cooling foods with your follicular and luteal phase. 3. Seed Cycling: Eat 1 Tbsp of flax and pumpkin seeds in your follicular phase and 1 Tbsp of sesame and sunflower in the luteal phase. 4. Hormone testing: Jessica went with the DUTCH test - this test can pinpoint specific imbalances in the hormone cycle. 5. Gut health: A healthy gut microbiome is essential for hormone metabolism. Start with a diet rich in fiber and live cultures from foods like kefir, kombucha, and fresh vegetables. Probiotics and enzymes are a great option for additional support! 6. Movement: Regular, moderate exercise can help regulate hormones and reduce stress. Start with a short walk after meals!

Understanding your menstrual cycle can be essential for optimizing your chances of conception. There are four phases of the menstrual cycle, with the follicular phase being the longest. The follicular phase is right before ovulation, so this is an important time window for couples who are trying to conceive. During this phase, intimacy can almost seem routine, which can add to the stress of couples. Couples should enter the follicular phase together with the education necessary to maximize their chances of conception. That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Jessica Mckasson. Jessica is a Menstrual Cycle Syncing, Feminine Energy & Hormone Balancing Coach. During this Live, we're going to talk about cycle syncing, getting your partner involved in the process, and how to maximize the follicular phase together.

Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal, Menstrual. Inner spring, Inner summer, Inner Autumn, Inner Winter.Waxing Moon, Full Moon, Waning Moon, New Moon.The cycles of nature are tangible in ourselves, and especially for those of us with wombs while we're in our cycling years, we have the option to align ourselves with the phase of our cycle we'e in at any given moment. For instance, I'm currently in early Autumn. I just ovulated a few days ago, my temperature rose, my cervical mucus changed, and I can feel a subtle difference in my energy levels, and honestly I also feel a little warmer (well maybe that's bc I'm wearing too many layers, lol, but basal body temp DOES rise post-ovulation).What phase of your cycle are you in right now??Whatever phase you're in has certain qualities and characteristics, and it's important to learn your own rather than just rely on books or social media, because sometimes we don't fit the prescribed mold. However, there are general qualities that hold true for most folks... so it's helpful to learn those and then reflect on your own. Today's podcast guest, longtime yoga teacher and cyclical living mentor Rebecca Rankin, shares all about not only her life-changing experience with cyclical living but also how we can bring yoga postures and breathwork into the fold.She shares a couple poses and breathwork options that suit each phase. I especially love how she includes a rolled towel to encourage ovarian circulation in the follicular phase in one pose and then that same rolled towel in a different location to encourage uterine circulation in the late luteal phase. It's really neat to consider the ways we can more intentionally bring our cycle into our yoga and vice versa.If this intrigues you, I think you'll dig today's episode.Listen to learn:how becoming a mother catalyzed Rebecca's cyclical living journeywhat cyclical living is and a couple ways it's changed her business + lifeways that natural cycles mirror and inform embodied cyclical livinghow even when you're no longer cycling, you can still attune to cyclessome yoga postures + breathwork for each phase of the menstrual cyclea guided "Apana" breathwork practice helpful in menstrual phase + whenever you need some extra tethering to the earthResources:Today's shownotes: Get Rebecca's links to her journal, website, social mediaStart tracking your cycle with Fertility Awareness Method (free guide)Episode 42: Reclaim your menstruationEpisode 69: Cyclical archetypes w Em DeweyEpisode 73: Cyclical movement w Tara Lynn SteeleEpisode 78: Your cycle superpowersIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! What are the possible reasons for a person never dreaming while sleeping? Have you ever seen or heard of this? Could it be a nervous system issue? Maybe a result of some kind of trauma? This person would insist there has never been any sort of trauma. Maybe it’s not an issue at all and there’s just a portion of the population who don’t dream? I find it very strange as I dream every night very vividly. Looking forward to hearing your experience with this! Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please help with some advice for my teen sons acne. After seeing a Naturopath he has been off sugar, dairy and processed foods for 4 months with not too much change. He currently takes zinc and a probiotic and does clay masks.The only option he has been given from his gp is 3 to 6 months of antibiotics and Accutane which we want to avoid due to side effects and long term damage. As well as the pimples he already has alot of scarring and he is only 14. Thankyou for your time we appreciate it :) Lindsay: I’d love to hear your thoughts on a shortened follicular phase. This is something I have been struggling with for the last 7-8 years. I wear an Oura ring and can clearly tell when I ovulate based on temperature change, vaginal discharge, and mittelschmerz. I typically bleed for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and ovulate around day 10, resulting in a 24 day cycle. My luteal phase is always 13-14 days in length. In November I ovulated on day 7! I couldn’t believe it, I bled for 5 days, ovulated on day 7, and then had a 14-day luteal phase for a 21-day cycle. No history of birth control or health struggles to speak of, and not on any medication. No obvious hormonal issues: clear skin, healthy blood sugar levels, healthy weight, sleep well, and exercise regularly. 39 years old. Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! a question about sauna - is it still beneficial for someone who experiences elevation in blood sugar during / after a session? thank you. Aaron: I've noticed that I'm more prone to tendonitis and muscle strain as I get older. I try to lift weights 2 to 4 times a week when I'm not injured. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as a physical trainer on how to increase muscle and strength without overstressing tendons. I'm especially interested to hear how you balance the workout advice with the DESTRESS protocol and supplementation. I try to eat whole food, try to exercise whole body workout daily, trying to reduce stress (big problem for me), I'm working on reducing toxins, worst sleep (my biggest problem I'm working on), very vata/anxious, can't take DNS because I'm sensitive to B6, but I do maintain my methylation, vit D, and magnesium, healthier now than I have been.

Curious about the science behind muscle health during menopause? In today's episode, I dove deep into the complexities of muscle protein synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the impact of estrogen on women's well-being. Get ready to uncover the secrets of muscle loss, discover how estrogen plays a pivotal role in muscle building, and understand the intricate connection between amino acids, weight gain, and glucose production. I break down various research, providing practical insights into personalized nutrition and exercise strategies tailored to your unique body composition and metabolic needs. Whether you're navigating weight concerns or aiming for optimal glucose levels, this episode is your go-to guide for evidence-based solutions. Tune in to gain a profound understanding of the importance of early intervention and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. This episode is packed with scientific insights, and I made sure to make it accessible and actionable for you. Remember, menopause is a powerful time in our lives, and with the right knowledge and tools, we can master it for better health and vitality. Key Takeaways: [00:02:14] Dietary intake and literature review. [00:03:16] Muscle protein synthesis. [00:07:34] Estrogen's role in muscle mass and function. [00:08:09] Estrogen regulation in skeletal muscle aging. [00:13:30] Estrogen and skeletal muscle regeneration. [00:15:45] Follicular stimulating hormone and muscle building. [00:18:20] Amino acid metabolism in overweight vs. lean individuals. [00:20:31] Gluconeogenesis in perimenopause and menopause. [00:24:06] Amino acid contribution to gluconeogenesis. [00:36:26] Metabolic signature and amino acid metabolism. [00:41:05] Personalized approaches to muscle health. [00:43:34] Metabolic changes and weight gain in menopause. [00:45:48] Hormone reset and metabolic flexibility. [00:50:21] Gender inequality in research and hormone replacement. Memorable Quotes: "One weight training session, even if you whip your own butt with your trainer, is not enough because we don't have that same hardcore stimulus to muscle building that men have. So, a single session a week is not weight training. It is weight training for that one session, but it is not hard enough to cause significant muscle protein synthesis, particularly as we go through menopause." – Betty Murray "If you're doing all the right things and you're not getting the right answers, it may be the order in which you're doing things. And it may be that you have to shift a little bit and go into a therapeutic diet for a period of time to force the body to become more metabolically efficient and become metabolically flexible." – Betty Murray Links Mentioned: Free E-Book: A Woman's Guide to Kick-Ass Sleep FREE Quiz: Your Hormone Imbalance Type Resources and References: Insulin resistance and the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids in humans Physical performance in relation to menopause status and physical activity The Emergence of the Metabolic Syndrome with Menopause The Greater Contribution of Gluconeogenesis to Glucose Production in Obesity Is Related to Increased Whole-Body Protein Catabolism The Role of Oestrogen in Female Skeletal Muscle Ageing: A Systematic Review The Role of Estrogen in Insulin Resistance Decreased Consumption of Branched-Chain Amino Acids Improves Metabolic Health Separate Contribution of Diabetes, Total Fat Mass, and Fat Topography to Glucose Production, Gluconeogenesis, and Glycogenolysis Why does obesity cause diabetes?

Here's the deal, you can do anything in any phase of your cycle. It's not about limitations. But it's more about understanding how each phase of the cycle impacts each player of the team. Let me give you an example.. Menstrual phase, for instance where your body and mind will prefer more reflective communication and group discussions might feel a little bit overwhelming. Consider different types of communication methods during this phase such as written updates using tools with your team (i.e., Slack, WhatsApp) or emails. Follicular phase wherein your energy levels rise and team meetings feel less like obligations and more like a creative brainstorming party. Leverage this phase by using video calls or in-person meetings to catch up on tasks and other things that you can communicate with your team. Get that creative vibe flowing and make the most out of this energetic phase. Now, when your confidence hits its peak, that's how you know that the ovulatory phase is kicking in. Important meetings? Schedule them now. As the energy starts to decline during the luteal phase, communication may naturally become more focused and detail-oriented. Your team members may prefer clear and concise information. To navigate this phase effectively, provide clear instructions for tasks and projects. It's beneficial to schedule check-ins for progress updates, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and addressing any concerns promptly. When you tailor your communication and collaboration strategies to align with the natural rhythms of your team members, I promise, it'll be a game changer both for you and your team. Ready to learn more? Join me in this episode as I share: Understanding team member cycles and its impact on communication How phases impact brainstorming and collaborating Leveraging your cycle for impactful decision-making Matching tasks with the right cycle phases Essential self-care strategies for leaders Tips on effective task delegation that actually work If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me, @renaefieck.

In this podcast episode, of the Living in Sync Podcast l want to share with you productivity and how it relates to the different phases of the menstrual cycle. It is important to understand our female biological blueprint and using that knowledge to optimize productivity. I share my tips on how I understand and optimize productivity with my cycle, but also how I am not so rigid with it because this is life and sometimes we have to do things no matter what phase of our cycle we are in. I hope this encourages self-care, understanding, and personal fulfillment while juggling multiple tasks and commitments. The first step in understanding your cycle is the importance of evaluation and using your intuition during the menstrual phase and suggests ways to prevent burnout.

This week on the podcast I share about using cycle syncing in conjunction with FAM charting. I love how Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes the ebbs and flows that women experience within their bodies as cyclical beings. '…the feminine blossoming energy that belongs to us and that comes to us in cycles, ebbing and returning to us on a regular basis as psychic spring follows psychic winter. Without the renewal of this flowering impulse in our lives, hope is covered over, and the earth of our minds and hearts remains in an unmoving state.' – CPE Cycle syncing involves tracking the shifts and changes in the cycle as they relate to the changes women experience in their mood and energy levels. Checking in with these rhythms allows us the opportunity to check in with what are sweet bodies are asking us for. I am sharing about the archetypal cycle and this may of may not align with the way in which YOU feel during the different phases of your own cycle. Many women do align with this archetypal pattern, but many others don't. The purpose of cycle syncing is to observe what's showing up for YOU and showing up for yourself accordingly. The 5 phases of the menstrual cycle - Bleeding phase - Winter's cozy energy that calls us to move inward and check in with ourselves in a deeper way. Follicular phase - Spring time energy of improved creativity and tendency to engage in new projects and have lots of new, fresh ideas. Ovulatory phase - Summer time outward expression, increase in social energy, libido increase, expansive nature. Luteal phase week 1 - Subtle decline in energy, inward direction and a tying up of loose ends. Luteal phase week 2 - Desiring more alone time, preparing for the next bleeding phase with cooking, cleaning and organizing, a nesting type of energy. When we have this as our background, it can allow us the permission to care for ourselves in ways that are most supportive of our health. There are certainly times in life that it's not possible to live according to your cyclical rhythm and I cover some considerations on that in this episode as well.

Is your exercise working against your hormones? Could that be making you more tired, or prone to injury? Is your routine limiting your performance results? It's widely accepted that exercise is a pillar of good health. For women, though, there's a gap in exercise recommendations designed based on their unique hormone profile. In a 2021 British Journal of Sports Medicine study, 86% of exercising women experience tiredness/fatigue and or other menstrual cycle symptoms that have a greater likelihood of missing exercise or competition (or work). TEDx Talk: https://www.flippingfifty.com/TEDx Only 39% of all exercise science and sports medicine research features females. Females go through an average of 7 phases of hormone changes… Save Your Spot Unless you knew to ask, was this made for me, based on science about me, there is a strong chance you have been doing a workout proven for a young athletic man or a mouse…Hormones that can mean you use more fat for fuel at certain times, may be more prone to injury at others, and be primed for strength gains during certain windows too. This post is an excerpt from a recently written article for a third party. It explores the science of women's menstrual cycles and exercise protocols to support better results with reduced risk of injury or unnecessary fatigue. If you're in post menopause without a cycle, stay with me, there's valuable information for you here too. A Review of the Menstrual Cycle During a normal menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone take turns driving the process of maturing and releasing an egg and preparing the uterus for possible pregnancy. Estrogen rises in the first half of the cycle, peaks at ovulation, then falls in the second half as progesterone rises. Progesterone is released by the rupturing of the egg follicle during ovulation. Testosterone too is secreted in “surges” around the time of ovulation, and again before your period. Let's explore each phase of the female cycles.. Menstruation/Early Follicular Phase During the bleed, the beginning of the Follicular phase, and for the first few days women often still feel fatigue. Estrogen and progesterone are both at their lowest point just before your period. If this is true it can be intuitive to cut back and go for walks or do a restorative yoga session instead of more vigorous exercise. More gentle exercise is a proven method of relieving cramps and menstrual symptoms. If you're prone to pushing yourself hard through days you're not feeling it and finding your fitness level doesn't benefit, try backing off. Gradually rising estrogen levels will kick in and a return to a regular strength and HIIT routine, if that's a part of a woman's exercise routine, by about day 7 is expected. Say, you like to workout and find it hard to take time off. Your period can be a good time to do more functional workouts that involve unilateral (single limbed) exercises. This allows you to reach muscle fatigue at lighter loads less likely to tax your adrenal system already dealing with menstruation. If pushing through tough workouts leaves you more exhausted, frame your period as an active recovery period that enables harder work when it's over. Mid and Late Follicular As estrogen rises from the start of your period and progesterone remains low you have a window where you may more easily make strength gains. Generally, within a week of their period starting women feel able to do more volume and recover faster. This may be the most powerful you feel during the month. Even though you may tolerate more volume, don't skip recovery (it's when fitness happens, after all). Find volume in the addition of weight, sets, or repetitions, rather than more frequency. That will prevent forfeit the recovery needed to reap the rewards. You want to continue to reduce impact and rapid change of direction. Your rigid tendons (as a result of high estrogen) support strength gains since they afford the ability to lift heavier but estrogen also causes laxity of ligaments along with reduced neuromuscular control and means easy injury. So, while you can do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), focus on bicycling, swimming, or elliptical rather than multidirectional or high impact options. You could also still be tired and need additional recovery because your hormones were at an all-time low just before your period. This is no time for comparisons. (See Note) Whatever you're feeling, honor it with an appropriate training and recovery response. Note: The State of Women's Exercise Science Science is still relying on women's diaries or apps to collect information. Women often report feeling their strongest and most energetic during days 7-14. This may have to do with better insulin sensitivity during this phase as compared to the luteal phase. The female body is primed to burn fat and gain muscle during this time. Ovulation Ovulation occurs in the middle of follicular and luteal phases. According to women's hormone expert, Dr. Jolene Brighton, it's a one-day event with still peaking estrogen levels, when progesterone is cued to start rising. Luteal Phase This is the last two weeks of your cycle when many women begin to feel more tired or less motivated to exercise. As progesterone rises, because of its anti-estrogenic effects, performance is lower than usual. It's when estrogen is high in comparison to progesterone in the cycle that performance increases. So, there is a dramatic difference for some women in the strength and energy they have in the first two weeks of their cycle compared to the luteal, or last two weeks. Many women also begin to have cravings related to Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS)... Each woman responds uniquely…[Includes tips on nutrition for blood sugar stabilization] What About Testosterone…. No Cycle? Periodization Still Reigns in Postmenopausal The concept of periodization doesn't pertain just to women, nor only to women having a period. It's been a longtime tool of strength & conditioning coaches and personal trainers used to produce optimal benefits with reduced injury risk. Exercise benefits require a level of overload beyond daily activities of life. In order for (reasonable) overload to be beneficial and not damaging, there needs to be conscious planning of the overload and adequate rest. Both male and female athletes benefit from exercise periodization, males minus the actual period, of course. Cycles of periodization (10) exist within weeks, months and a year. Female cycles will do best honored outside of periodization. It's Not Time to Slow Down For post menopausal women, there's both more latitude and reduced obstacles of fluctuating energy and safety due to hormonal change. With reduced levels of estrogen, adequate intensity is needed more than ever to offset menopause symptoms and increase muscle, bone and brain health. The best partner of adequate intensity is adequate recovery. So, cycling times of work with times of recovery will always be the key to optimizing women's fitness. Four Week Post Menopause Cycling Week 1: Functional Strength (unilateral, multi directional) Week 2: Strength w Power (moderately heavy with speed on lift) Week 3: Hypertrophy (heavy with fewer repetitions) Week 4: Endurance (lighter with higher repetitions) Female cycles for exercise don't have to be complex, but it should not be by accident. Exercise with just a little more thought can give you the optimal energy and results you want and deserve. Period.
