Welcome to your Luteal Phase. This is the longest phase of your menstrual cycle, and also the phase where you will experience the biggest shifts in your hormone levels. After ovulation your hormones begin to dip down from their highest at ovulation, to their lowest at menstruation. In the first half of this phase you will likely still have energy from ovulation and be able to do more gentle low impact and stronger mat classes. As you move to the second half we switch the focus to more lengthening and restorative pilates workouts. Today we are making the most of the leftover energy from the Ovulatory phase with a low impact cardio butt and thighs class. We will incorporate a gentle sweat with our cardio intervals and mix them with that targeted, mindful Pilates burn. Remember to check in with yourself each day and honour your energy in this phase.
Equipment needed: 1 lb ankle/ wrist weights optional
