Training Through Cycles

Women should listen to their bodies and use the ten-minute rule to gauge workout intensity during different phases of their cycle. If feeling unwell, it's better to adjust the workout to something less taxing to avoid compounding stress. Conversely, if feeling great, there's no evidence that high-intensity training disrupts hormonal balance, so women can push themselves without fear of negative effects.
