The Outside+ app now available on iOS helps users navigate their menstrual cycle, which consists of four distinct phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. Each phase brings varied physical and emotional symptoms. During the luteal phase, when energy may wan, gentler exercises like yin or hatha yoga can be beneficial. However, all forms of movement can help alleviate discomfort. It's important to listen to your body's needs, as energy levels will fluctuate day-to-day, allowing for a personalized approach to fitness.
Your cycle consists of four phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. Each stage is singular, bringing with it hormonal fluctuations and accompanying physiological and psychological symptoms.
All movement can help alleviate cramps and fatigue, so don't feel limited to slow, gentle movement if you feel up for it.
Energy levels will change from day to day, so get curious about your body, mind, and needs.
If these guidelines help you feel more aligned with your cycle and help you organize your schedule, then that's a win.
