OBUsing only emojis, tell us how you feel during your luteal phase compared to your follicular phase. We’ll go first: L: 🧚♀️, F: 👹
But, why does this happen? During the follicular phase of a menstrual cycle, rising estrogen levels boost energy, mood, and motivation, making you feel more vibrant and active. Making workouts like, Power, HIIT, and Dance Cardio feel really, really good! In contrast, the luteal phase is characterized by a drop in estrogen and a rise in progesterone, which can lead to lower energy levels and increased fatigue. During this time, you might gravitate more towards lower intensity workouts or even just decreasing your load in a strength class!
