Having been a coach for nearly a decade, I have fallen in love with the workouts, the trainers and the community.
When I learned about cycle syncing, especially when it came to movement, I was worried that I couldn’t use my at home workout programs anymore! I had been a dedicated user of the program calendars they created and would feel guilty if I couldn’t check off whatever workout was scheduled for that day. But I was also realizing that the company was trying to please the masses and was missing the boat on hormonal health for females.
I began my journey by breaking the mindset that I had to follow a program's workout calendar or push through a Shaun T workout while on my period. What I was overjoyed to realize was the BOD was PERFECT for Feeding Your Phase.
The variety of workouts it has for every energy level makes it an inexpensive, valuable tool for balancing your hormones, moving your body and losing weight if it’s a goal of yours.
Having followed practically every program that they have come out with, I’ve been able to sort which program or workouts fit each phase and I’ve seen tremendous success.
Below is a cheat sheet of which programs fit each phase and a suggested calendar for a monthly cycle.
Adjust as you see fit, always check with a doctor and listen to your body
