Ovulation marks the peak of your estrogen levels, and your body is primed for maximum physical output. You’ll likely feel strong, confident, and energized, making this phase ideal for high-intensity workouts.
Exercise Recommendations:
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): This is the phase when your body can handle and even thrive during high-intensity workouts. Short bursts of explosive exercises paired with brief rest periods can help you get the most out of your training.
Strength Training: Similar to the follicular phase, but with more focus on adding weight and challenging your muscles. This phase is great for pushing your limits.
Running or Hiking: The ovulatory phase is also excellent for endurance training, so if you enjoy running or more challenging hikes, your body can handle longer sessions without feeling as fatigued. Take advantage of the energy boost and go for a longer run or a scenic and inclined hike.
