CYCLE SYNCING

The women's US National Soccer Team used CYCLE SYNCING to strategize how they trained while they prepared to compete for the World Cup 🤯
The team's high performance trainer Dawn Scott said “I feel like it’s one of the strategies that we deployed that helped us win.”
When I learned this I got full body chills.

For so many years female athletes have been told to push past their periods and workout on a fitness schedule that was based on that of a man's body.
They would overtrain, get injured, go through shame cycles of wondering why they couldn't “keep up”.
So many athletes have been put on hormonal birth control all together to stop their cycles all together. Trainers thought it was “better that way” or easier.

I am SO PUMPED to live in a time where women are starting to really learn about their bodies.
And I am SO honored to be able to help women learn how to work with their bodies instead of against them.
KUDOS to the US National Soccer team for helping to pave the way 👏🏻👏🏻
