Period Power
Cycle synchronisation involves matching your training to the phases of your menstrual cycle, improving overall wellbeing by maximising energy levels, stabilising mood and optimising physical performance throughout the month. The project PERIOD POWER illustrates the four phases of the menstrual cycle and showcases women who train according to their bodily rhythms.

Menstrual Phase
Slow down with gentle yoga during this phase to embrace tranquility and self-care. As your body takes time to rest, engage in low-intensity exercise to honor your need for peace and recovery.
Follicular Phase
Ramp up your energy with strength training as your body experiences a surge of vitality. This is the perfect time to build muscle and enhance your physical power through intense workouts, focusing on your strength and determination.
Ovulation Phase
Take on high-intensity activities like boxing to make the most of the high energy available during this phase. Channel your inner strength and agility, and let the dynamic movements empower your workout.
Luteal Phase
Keep moving with simple exercises, such as dancing, to match the rhythm of this phase. As your energy starts to wane, dancing provides a balanced exercise that uplifts your physical and emotional well-being, perfectly suiting the subtler energies of the luteal phase.
