CELEBRATE YOUR CYCLE

Move by the Moon

Mirroring the lunar cycle in nature, each menstrual cycle comprises four distinct phases. In each phase, the metabolic and hormonal conditions become optimal for different movement modalities. lunae takes the guesswork out of when and how to work out on your period to help you stay in your creative flow all month long.

Wherever you are in your cycle, there is a practice to leverage your inner chemistry and preserve energy levels.

Cycle Guide

The cycle guide can help you identify which phase you are in by tuning into the physical, mental, and emotional biomarkers that are signature to each one.

Phase Calculator

If you have an idea of your cycle length and date of your last period, you can use the phase calculator to approximate which phase you might be in. Then you can adapt the lunae workout roadmap to your personal rhythm.

THE ROADMAP

A Four-Phase Approach to Exercise

With a four-phase approach to movement, lunae’s on-demand workouts address key elements of physical fitness by aligning your menstrual cycle and exercise for hormonal balance. The exercise roadmap is informed by the female cycle.

  • Menstrual Phase

    BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF

    Your period welcomes the deepest listening. Hormone levels are at their lowest while metabolism begins slowing. Excessive exercise in this phase can shift the body into muscle wasting for energy with increased cortisol which can result in higher fat storage. Workouts for your period include plenty of rest and gentle movement to stimulate the downward flow of energy.

  • Follicular Phase

    RADIATE AND EXPAND

    Growing energy and receptivity provide an ideal framework for cardiovascular movement. Enjoy new movement patterns while elevating your heart rate. Focus on a steady-state effort without becoming breathless to burn fat and improve heart health—no need to log hours on a treadmill.

    WORKOUTS

  • Ovulatory Phase

    CHALLENGE YOURSELF

    Body chemistry in this phase is prime for high intensity. A slower baseline metabolism combined with maximum levels of estrogen and testosterone energize the body and mind. Use this phase to challenge yourself. Take advantage of modalities that encourage maximum energy output to improve conditioning.

    WORKOUTS

  • Luteal Phase

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
