What is Cycle Syncing? How to Align Your Workouts and Supplements
Your body isn’t the same every day — so why should your fitness plan be?
Cycle syncing is the new frontier in women’s wellness: syncing your workouts and supplement routines to the natural phases of your menstrual cycle.
At FitBabeLabs, we believe understanding your body = unlocking your highest performance.
The Four Phases of the Menstrual Cycle
- Menstrual Phase: (Days 1–5) — Low energy. Focus on restorative workouts like stretching and walking.
- Follicular Phase: (Days 6–14) — Energy rises. Great time for strength training and high-intensity workouts.
- Ovulatory Phase: (Days 15–17) — Peak strength and stamina. Heavy lifts, cardio bursts, and pushing PRs.
- Luteal Phase: (Days 18–28) — Energy declines. Focus shifts to moderate movement, recovery, and mindfulness.
How Supplements Fit In
- Strength Phase (Follicular/Ovulatory): Creatine, pre-workout formulas, whey protein
- Recovery Phase (Luteal/Menstrual): Magnesium, hydration powders, adaptogens
- Consistent Support: Probiotics and greens daily to stabilize gut health and energy levels year-round
