Awesome summary of what she says in Roar
Your period is not a negative thing!
.
There are nutrition and specific interventions you can do to attenuate the symptoms and lowered performance/heat tolerance etc... .
🌟 It is about the positive aspects of knowing your cycle, then being able to garner the increased/ergogenic effects of the female s*x hormones- low hormone phase, .
👉🏼you can hit it hard and recover faster, this is when high intensity adaptations are at their best, around ovulation with the estrogen surge, another time to really hit it hard to get those top end power adaptations, then when hormones start to rise, this is when you can look for more endurance and technique. .
👉🏼When you are specifically looking to build fitness/skill/change body composition, use your cycle to help you, don't fall into the typical training schematics that are all based on male physiology. Then when you take the strategy into the real world, you have a better overall understanding of what your cycle can do for you, and on the days you are a bit off your game, you KNOW this from tracking and can put interventions into place ahead of time to mitigate these lows. .
👉🏼THIS is what tracking and training with your cycle is about, not about "ugh I have my period" and use it as an excuse- THAT is the male lens, we are talking about breaking through that patriarchal lens and empowering women with their own bodies/physiology/knowledge.
