Your body is doing a lot. Be gentle.
During the luteal phase, your body is already in a state of higher sensitivity and energy depletion.
At Aptitude, we teach women to train with their cycle, in mind. Let’s work with what your body needs—nutrients, movement, and rest.
Curious about syncing your workouts and nutrition to your cycle? Nikki’s Optimize Your Cycle program is for you.
