Does my menstrual cycle affect my workouts? | You Deserve Well

Does my menstrual cycle affect my workouts?

For some women, yes. Energy, strength, sleep and recovery can shift across the cycle, and symptoms like cramps or fatigue can change how training feels. But the effect on performance is small on average and varies a lot between women.

Track how you feel for a few cycles. If you see a pattern, adjust around it, and otherwise keep training consistently.

General information, not medical advice. If something feels wrong, or you have a health condition, check with your doctor first.
