Being mindful is key for progression

Each phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle affects her energy and strength in the gym. Some weeks you feel great and like you could conquer any exercise in the gym. Other weeks, feel like a struggle just to lift the weight.

Be patient with yourself and know that this is normal ladies. Push yourself, and don’t be discouraged if the numbers don’t progress each time:)
