Understanding the Female Menstrual Cycle

The female menstrual cycle consists of various phases: days 1-10 are for building estrogen and are good for intense workouts and fasting; days 11-15 are the ovulation phase with a surge of testosterone and estrogen, ideal for heavy weightlifting and longer fasts; days 15-19 are for recovery and relaxation, with gentle exercises like yoga or Pilates; days 20 to the start of the next cycle are for nurturing and low-intensity workouts, focusing on self-care and rest.
