Luteal Phase Myths: PMS Means Skip the Gym
❌ Myth: “You can’t train during PMS.”
✅ Truth: “You just need to move differently.”
🧠Science says: When progesterone rises, your body temp and metabolism go up slightly while serotonin dips. Hello cravings, fatigue, and mood shifts.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women burn about 5–10% more calories during this phase.
Your body’s slowing down, but that doesn’t mean stop.
Think slower strength, Pilates, walks, or recovery days, the kind of movement that supports you, not drains you.
Less intensity ≠ less effort.
You’re still showing up, just softer and that counts. 💖
