Mastering your menstrual cycle

Master your Menstrual Cycle with these simple tips

Track your cycle

Track your menstrual cycle to understand how you feel physically and emotionally at different times. Use a method of tracking that suits you. Keep it simple and keep it up!

Know your normal

Know what is normal for your cycle. Recognise when you might need to flag a problem to your GP, like missing periods for more than 3 months or changes in your cycle regularity or bleeding.

Develop cycle resilience

Use your knowledge of your cycle experience to anticipate and be proactive about managing symptoms and to do what will get the best out of you on any given day.

Lifestyle is medicine

Lifestyle factors such as your diet, how much rest and recovery you are getting, how well you are managing stress and the type and amount of training you do can all make your cycle symptoms worse, or better.

Share your cycle story

Get comfortable with sharing your experience of your cycle when it is important to do so, whether that’s with your physio, nutritionist, coach or your peers. Insights about how your cycle impacts you can help others support you better.

Unleash the powers of your cycle

Lean in to when the physiology of your cycle really works for you – maybe that’s doing more resistance training in the first half of your cycle, or using high energy levels to smash out a big session!
