Why is exercise different for women?

I USED TO EXERCISE LIKE A MAN

Used to get up every day 

And push myself to move 

Bikram yoga  

Barre cardio workouts 

Running  

Almost every morning before work 

SOME DAYS I HAD THE ENERGY AND DRIVE 

Other days I didn’t 

But I pushed myself anyway 

Getting up super early 

Rushing to a class or to go for a run 

Rushing to get changed 

Then rushing off to work 

WHAT I DIDN'T REALISE 

Is that this is not sustainable 

For women 

If we push ourselves to operate like this 

Chances are 

We’ll get sick, injured or burn ourselves out 

WHY?

Because our bodies aren’t designed to move like this 

Biologically 

Or Physiologically 

In the first few weeks of the hormonal cycle

We are designed to have more every more drive more motivation and even more confidence 

(Aka the follicular phase) 

But in the following 2 weeks 

(Aka the luteal phase) 

Our bodies literally need to slow down 

And yes while they still need to move  

It shouldn't be anything hard, fast or intense 

Because we are more sensitive to stress in this phase 

So if we try push ourselves hard here 

WE WILL THROW OURSELVES OF BALANCE

Off centre 

Out of equilibrium 

There is no question  

We need to move in sync with our cycles

Because our cycle literally dictates how much energy we have to move 

So - do you know what the best form of movement is that works no matter what time of your cycle you’re in (or if you’re pregnant)? 

And when to do it?
