Ovulation is the best time for intense training
Have you noticed that sometimes you almost run to training, with a lot of strength and enthusiasm. And on other days, just thinking about the gym makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket, taking your cat with you? It’s not just a matter of lack of motivation; not a single fitness girl on Instagram at this moment will give you the strength to do a hard workout. On average, research shows that women's strength levels can vary by 10% depending on the phase of their menstrual cycle. Theoretically, that's +5kg if you're squatting a 50kg barbell.
Scientists do not fully understand what mechanism is responsible for fluctuations in strength levels in women. There are suggestions that the following are responsible for the increase in strength during training during ovulation:
- peak estrogen production (it directly affects myofibrils in muscle fibers - with their help, muscles contract)
- peak testosterone production (it also acts on myofibrils)
Researchers don't give 100% guarantees yet, so it wouldn't hurt to test it on yourself. For a couple of cycles, keep a diary and write down how much strength you had during the workout (how much weight you were able to lift, the number of repetitions/sets, general well-being before and after the workout). This way you will see how the phases of the cycle affect you specifically, and whether you are stronger in training if it is during ovulation.
In all studies, those taking monophasic birth control did not show any changes in strength levels during training during different phases of the cycle. Some studies show that such contraceptives even slightly reduce the amount of free testosterone in the blood (and overall strength, respectively).
Joan Peters, 43
The 43-year-old Australian also inspires women from all over the world with her will to win. More than 200 thousand people follow the account of teacher and fitness blogger Joan Peters. She gained such popularity after she was able to lose a lot of weight and start a new life.
When Joan was 36 years old, she gave birth to her second child. After giving birth, the woman looked at her reflection in the mirror, discovered extra pounds and fell into depression. In an interview, Peters said that back then she was very embarrassed about her body and hated herself for how much she had neglected herself.
The blogger was encouraged to take up fitness by a friend who lost 10 kilograms. Joan decided to repeat her success, started going to the gym 5 times a week and registered on a social network.
Now the fitness blogger works out in the gym with a trainer, eats right and periodically does short daily fasts. At over forty years old, she looks much younger than at twenty!
The life of an ordinary teacher from Melbourne has changed radically. Joan proved that having children is happiness, and even after that, at 43 years old you can have an ideal sexy figure. Joan gained cubes and lost her cheeks and sides.

Sports before pregnancy
Sports activities before pregnancy and childbirth can be not only useful, but also necessary! In order for pregnancy to pass with minimal risk of complications, it is best to carefully prepare for it. Particular attention should be paid to the muscles of the back and lower back, since they bear the main load during pregnancy, especially in the last months.
If you know that you have some problems with your spine, don't miss a day to properly strengthen the muscles around it. You can also pay attention to your abs. It is best to have well-pumped abdominal muscles. This will make your abdominal muscles elastic and flexible, which will help you maintain a beautiful figure after childbirth. You will find a lot of tips on how to always remain beautiful on the website www.svadebka.ws.
Another good exercise machine before planning a pregnancy would be a bicycle. It will strengthen all the necessary muscles. You will also be able to combine several pleasant moments: firstly, you will feel the joy of cycling, breathe fresh air, and secondly, you will be able to strengthen the muscular system.
Belinda Benn, 54
This popular American woman, at 54 years old, never leaves the covers of glossy magazines. Fitness trainer Belinda Benn looks at least 20 years younger due to regular training. Although for most of her life she never played sports either. Belinda was constantly hospitalized as a child due to chronic asthma, so she didn’t even think about training until she was 37 years old. The woman was an official, she drank liters of cappuccino and ate kilograms of cookies.
One day an American woman saw herself in a swimsuit, discovered terrible cellulite, and had a nervous breakdown. Divorce from my husband added even more fuel to the fire. Having finally fallen into depression, Belinda sold all her property and went on a trip to the USA. During the trip, the woman tried surfing for the first time and started eating right. Upon her return, Benn went to the gym and began to actively train.
By the age of 44, Belinda decided to compete in a fitness bikini competition. Then the woman’s dreams began to come true. The beautiful athlete was noticed and began to be invited to filming. This is how she became a famous fashion model. In order to quickly lose weight and get in shape, the star advises her fans to give up alcohol and sweet drinks: juice, tea with sugar and coffee. According to Benn, it was because of this that she gained so much weight at one time.

Belinda admits that she found true harmony with her body only at the age of 50. After 40, a woman does not advise exhausting herself with hard training. You need to approach classes very thoughtfully and pump up the most problematic areas. How to build muscles without losing your femininity?
There is no time left for training at home, the children do not want to leave their mother alone
When I first started, my daughter Ksyusha was 4 months old, and the only time for classes was when I sent her to bed in the evening. An hour and a half was enough for me to train and even take a relaxing shower.
Remember two things. Children will always demand a lot of your time. Always! Under 18 years old - exactly
