Does this sound familiar?
You’ve tried fitness programs that feel good for a while, but you eventually lose motivation for lack of results.
You're exhausted from swinging between extremes with an all-or-nothing approach.
You don’t have a lot of time to devote to exercise (and even less time to program your own workouts).
You're already syncing movement to your cycle, but you’re still not feeling your best.
You want more energy for the things and people that matter to YOU.
You deserve more from working out and I’m here to help you find fitness freedom.
Traditional fitness doesn’t always work for women.
Most workout programs do not account for your natural performance arc—either progressing out of alignment with your physiology or demanding a constant intensity.
This can lead to plateaus or lost progress when you get stuck in a pattern of working too hard or not hard enough.
Cyclical fitness is not linear—and neither are you!
In a cyclical model of exercise and fitness, we modify the progression of training such that it mirrors your changing hormones
Your performance moves in an arc, not a straight line.
You’re more like the moon and less like the sun.
Your performance has a cycle too.
If you’re a menstruating woman, you may not fit neatly into a 24-hour box. Your energy, performance, and priorities fluctuate according to your hormones in a cyclical monthly rhythm and your workouts should too!
pathways
energy use & storage
Your sex hormones influence the way your body uses and stores energy to maintain balance in each phase.
performance
EFFORT & RECOVERY
The presence of sex hormones has a direct impact on physical performance and the way you feel during exercise.
priorities
MAKING MUSCLE
Changing hormones prime your body for either building tissues (like muscle and fat) or breaking them down.
It’s time to optimize the way you exercise according to your female physiology.
There’s a time of the month for that.
There are a number of training modes that address different components of fitness—endurance, strength, power, mobility, etc.
The beautiful thing is, your cyclical body is optimized for these different modes based on where you are in the menstrual cycle.
The Balanced Body optimizes your workouts to mirror your cycle.
Low hormones mean quicker recovery, better carb utilization, and more efficient cooling. This is when we prime your body for building muscle in challenging workouts.
This transition phase from low to high hormones is marked by a dramatic estrogen surge. Take advantage of anabolic (building) hormones for peak performance and building muscle.
High hormones bring changes in energy and performance. In the presence of carb sparing and catabolic (breakdown) metabolism, lower intensity efforts will preserve your hard-earned muscle.
Leading up to and during your period, the strategy is to protect your body against inflammation and stress. Rest days and gentle practices can promote circulation and healthy flow.
The Balanced Body is a complete guide to female fitness that includes both theory and practice.
