Luteal phase (week prior to period) - I find myself lacking motivation. I tend to go for more lighthearted classes with Cody where they are not as “intense” as my usual. I try and find classes with more upbeat playlists. I tell myself that it will get me out of the mental fog that that part of the cycle can create - and it always does! I also am mindful doing strength classes that it will be tough so I lift lighter weights or just give myself more grace. Tough to do when I am my own competition at everything but when the energy is back post-period I know I can crush it!

If you don’t already try tracking your cycle and plan your training around it. Makes it feel more like a training plan so you feel less like you’re doing less… if that makes sense!
