Phase 2: Follicular (Days 6-11)

This is the second phase of your cycle and it’s going to be your favorite! Your progesterone is still low (yay!) but your estrogen is higher making it easier for you to recover from exercise so we’re upping the intensity. The combination of hormonal fluctuations here make this an ideal time for building strength. This phase is where we add our HIIT workouts, Power moves, and more intense strength training. Workouts become more intense by increasing reps, sets, weights, or the difficulty of the exercise in general. You are still in charge of your rest days, but I have provided recommendations!

Day 6 and 9 are your recommended rest days.

*** If you have a cycle LONGER than 28 days, THIS is where you will add the extra training days! For every day over 28, REPEAT your favorite workout from this phase! BE SURE you are also adding another rest day if you feel like you need it. For example, if your cycle is 30 days, you will add 1-2 workouts from here. The rest of your training will fall in order throughout the program but just know that you will obviously not be on the same cycle days that are noted under each video.
