Sync Up! Exercise & Your Cycles Course
Your guide to building an exercise routine that supports the natural, hormonal fluctuations of your female cycle.
Hear me out.
The majority of exercise programs are created with male physiology in mind.
But you're a female! Your physiological makeup is completely different from your male counterparts.
The natural, hormonal fluctuations that occur in your monthly cycle change in your mood, energy, & performance in the gym.
But those changes aren't reflected in a typical exercise program. Instead, the typical program is designed for you to go, go, go every day you can.
You've fallen off the exercise wagon more times than you can count.
You've binge eaten around your period because you feel like giving up is easier than figuring out why your body is craving more food.
You've cursed your body for "failing" you & your (probably) unrealistic goals.
You've used exercise as a punishment or to cancel out poor choices, instead of as a means of supporting your health.
Burned out. Uninspired. Directionless. Exhausted. Unhealthy.
What if I had a healthy relationship with exercise?
What if I was taught how to exercise to support my feminine design?
What if I learned how to support my cycle while going after my exercise goals?
What if I knew how different types of exercise would help me accomplish my goals?
What if I knew how to prioritize different nutrients depending on my cycle phase?
What if I knew how to calculate my body's caloric needs with a simple formula?
What if I had tools to avoid major injuries and watch out for red flags in my cycle?
What if I knew how to workout with my female physiology instead of against it?
ATC & FAE
I'm a former competitive Irish dancer trained in sports medicine and fertility awareness.
After my competition days were over, I went through a period of time wondering what type of relationship I was going to have with exercise.
I found my groove through multiple programs, only to lose it when my period or PMS rolled around. Then I discovered the concept of cycle based exercise and everything changed.
I know what it's like to feel like each program you start is not suited to your natural fluctuations in energy.
I know how hard it is to feel like you're always slogging through workouts around your period, wishing you didn't have to check it off your to do list. (Type A here!)
The beauty of using your cycle as a foundation for your exercise routine is that you don't have to worry about burning out anymore. You can learn to give yourself grace and go with your flow.
For far too long we women have been matching our exercise habits to that of our male counterparts by following the same routine day in, day out.
We've mustered through workout programs created for men and their 24 hour testosterone cycle.
We've believed we should wake up with the same amount of energy and desire to exercise every day of our cycle.
We've suffered with bloating and cravings and punished ourselves with overexercising when we've submitted to our cravings.
We've fallen off the wagon when our period rolls around.
This doesn't have to be our story anymore!
We can workout in a way that supports our menstrual cycle and our overall health.
After years of experimentation and research, I created this course to help you do just that!
Welcome to the world of cycle based exercise!

Read LessThis program will not give you an exercise routine to follow. This is an educational program that will teach you the what, why, and how of cycle based exercise. You'll leave with a thorough understanding of how your cycle affects your athletic performance and why you should switch up your routine through intensity, recovery, and nutrition to match each cycle phase. You'll understand basic exercise physiology, how different types of exercise affect your body, and get general suggestions for types of exercise in each phase.
Yes, but you still have to put in the work! You can use this course to create a routine from scratch based on the 4 fundamental pillars each & every routine should have! However, this course is not an exercise program in and of itself. You will need to use this information and apply it to exercise that you enjoy. There is also the option to work with another professional to help you reach your goals! This course WILL give you the tools to understand how your cycle affects your exercise abilities and what you can do to support yourself so you can still achieve your goals.
If you're on HBC or a hormonal IUD, you are not experiencing natural fluctuations in hormones. Your cycle hormones are replaced by synthetic ones that do not allow your body to produce the same hormones that you'd see in a normal, reproductive cycle. The information in this program may still be helpful, but won't be applicable in the same way, as you are not cycling naturally.
The course will only teach you how to apply cycle based exercise concepts to your charts! It is recommended that you've learned a fertility awareness charting protocol from a certified instructor before doing the mini course. I do have charting workshops available as well. You can learn to chart with the FEMM protocol for health and/or family planning!
See my other workshop offerings or check my website www.luminahealthservices.com You can also shoot me an email with any questions! (email: [email protected])
I teach and use the FEMM fertility awareness protocol. It's an incredible program with an educational piece (learning to chart) and a medical management piece. Women can connect with healthcare providers who are trained through FEMM's medical management program. These providers use your cycle data to help evaluate, diagnose, and treat any reproductive concern.
Yes. While it is more challenging to sync your exercise to your cycle when it's irregular, it's definitely possible to use this information. Depending on how irregular your cycles are, this could help mitigate some of your concerns because you'll naturally be tuning in to your body's needs more.
No. You will find some support and other like minded women in the private Facebook group, but there are no private chart reviews or meetings with Mairead included.
THIS COURSE IS FOR: Women who are looking for education on syncing their exercise with their cycle. Women who want to discover how to make their exercise program work for them based on their unique cycles. Women who want a basic understanding of exercise physiology so they can create their own exercise plan based on major pillars of exercise + their own cycle data. THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR: Women who want a very personalized, done-for-them exercise plan. Women who need 1:1 support & accountability to create an exercise routine that works for them.(Although there are professionals listed in the program who can provide this type of support!) Women who have no interest in charting their cycles to be in tune with their hormonal fluctuations.
