Understanding Training Volume
Training volume is the total amount of weight lifted in a workout. It's calculated by multiplying sets, reps, and the weight used. For women, especially those managing hormonal health, this metric helps tailor workouts to energy levels throughout the menstrual cycle.
Cycle-Synced Training
Aligning your workouts with your menstrual cycle can enhance performance and recovery. For instance, strength training can be more effective during the follicular phase when energy levels are higher, while lighter activities can be beneficial during menstruation.
