lower body workout for the beginning of your luteal phase

while we do admire cycle-syncing, we listen to our body and what it’s telling us more than anything. I love to lift weights and I continue to do so throughout my cycle as long as my body feels comfortable to. I’m just about to start my luteal phase and this workout is what worked for me!

as a reminder, your luteal phase is phase 3 of your cycle, the 10-14 period between ovulation and your period.
