Welcome to the Living in Sync Podcast, I am your host Joelle Suess and on this podcast you are going to be hearing how you can live fully into the present moment of your life no matter what stage, season, or phase (of your cycle) you are in. I have been an accidental entrepreneur for over a decade. I have experience in direct sales, course creation, 1;1 nutrition coaching, and everything in between. For a long time I put myself into a box. At first it was at home fitness, then it was intentional productivity as a mom, then it went back to hormone health and cycle syncing, and now I am just sharing it all with you. I am going to be sharing solo topic episodes as well as amazing guest conversations about all the things. No matter if you are a stay at home mom, corporate climber, entrepreneur, or anything in between I hope you enjoy each weeks topics because it is going to be a blend of everything! Health, wellness, nutrition, and living in sync with your cycle will still be some of our highlighted topics but why do we have to be so obsessed with our bodies losing weight when life is so bountiful and beautiful. There is so much more to life! I am in the midst of evolving, changing, and challenging myself! If you are in for real life topics of conversation make sure you are following the show so you don’t miss an episode!

Today's podcast we talk about working out less (or working out in a smarter way) in order to lose weight with less effort. Doing this takes adjusting our workout plans to our feminine cycle. Specifically in this episode I am talking about how to workout in your luteal and menstrual phase. Should we workout on our period?
Changes you want to make during your luteal phases are decreases cardio, lowering the duration of your workout time, and decreasing intensity. yes this means avoiding HIIT during this phase will give you better results. Cortisol is what causes women to hang onto weight even when we are working out hard and eating less. Weight training, pilates, barre, and moderate workouts are great during this phase.
Rolling into menstrual phase slowing down even more. Yoga is great but that is not the only workout to do. Mobility, static stretches, and even long meditations can take up your workout time during this phase. Also use this phase as a reflection. Go inward. How did that previous cycle go? Are you closer or further from your goal? What kinds of workouts do you want to avoid or incorperate in the next 28 days.
This mindset was the hardest for myself and my clients to grasp because we have been told if we push harder we will get to our goals, but what if pushing is holding you back and making it harder to lose weight?
