* Did you know that pretty much EVERY Training Plan that you get off the internet is designed for Men? * Did you know that a 4 week periodisation plan does NOT work for women? * Do you know that most coaches don't ask anything about a females period or menstrual cycle? * Do you know that there are crucial times within your cycle where you should be hitting your training HARD because the balance of hormones means that you can adapt better, recover better, hit higher intensities and use carbs more effectively? * Did you know that there are times in your cycle when your body needs to RECOVER - the balance of your hormones means that you won't recover as well, you can't use carbs as effectively, you need to fuel differently, you can't hit such high intensities and you don't adapt to training as well? * Do you know that if you push your body hard at the wrong time of the month, that you'll be depleting your system and won't be able to get as much from your training at the time when you are so much more capable of hitting PBs and top end stuff?! Females bodies are a little complicated; however, if women can understand their cycle and know how to use it to their advantage, it's like taking an ergogenic aid - it's POWERFUL STUFF!!!!!
