Hey girls!
This pesky little gift from mother nature can make big changes on your routines and looks, here is some helpful info to help you achieve your look!
Your menstrual cycle has a big affect on your look. The week before your period your temperature and your metabolism are increased, so essentially your body will burn more calories. This will be accompanied by an increase in cravings and wanting to eat. You can have a few more calories than usual in this week but don’t go overboard because the following week will be the opposite.
The first weak after your period you will have a tendency to retain water and this clearly adds to the bloating look. Use this week for more intensity in the cardio aspect and focus on not eating salty foods that help aid in water retention. As crazy as it sounds, it is also very important to stay hydrated during this time as it slows down the retention because your body won’t feel the need to hold onto water because you are supplying it with plenty. Also note that your pain tolerance is usually higher following your period, and the added water weight can add to the intensity of cardio training.
Hope these quick tips helped!!
