Cycle tracking can also be an incredible tool to prevent pain flare-ups so you can consistently get back to those hard, sweaty, athletic workouts you love to do!

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Why you should plan your workouts around your menstrual cycle
  • How tracking can help you prevent pain flare-ups when working out
  • Exercise recommendations for each phase and why that’s important
  • What exactly to track and how
