Hello everyone, it's Rochene, host of Women's Health Going for Goal podcast. I hope your week's gotten off to a good start. I just wanted to send you a little voice note to let you know what's in store on this week's episode. On Thursday, we're looking at the goal of learning to train around your menstrual cycle to optimize your performance, whatever your workout style. Here's our tip of the week from elite sports endocrinologist Dr. Nikki Kay. She's talking about what to consider when working out during the Luteal phase of your cycle, aka PMS time. What about exercise recommendations? I think the first thing to say, it's very, very individual.

So you might be one of those women that don't have any problems, so just carry on what you're doing. If this is sounding familiar that, oh, yes, actually, I do get a lot of cramps during menstruation, or actually I do feel a bit moody, a bit off, maybe a little bit fluid retention just before my period, then, you know, just be aware that actually this is unfortunately normal for some of us. Really, it's more a case of tailoring your exercise.

If you have any flexibility in your exercise schedule, doing what you feel comfortable, I think, is really the most important thing. Make sure you tune in on Thursday for more on how you can get the most out of your fitness all month long.
