Today I’m joined by Mikey to chat about the impact that the menstrual cycle, with its four distinct phases (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal), can have on how we exercise.

Mikey and I don’t only talk about the biological aspect of this issue but also the social. Are menstrual cycles taken into account during qualification courses to become Personal Trainers, for example? Is it still taboo to talk about periods and cycles in the gym? How can people who menstruate begin the. - often overwhelming - task of trying to learn how best to work with their bodies?
