During the menstrual phase you need more water than in any other part of the cycle. Drink at least 2 liters of water + other non-coffeinated drinks to compensate for the blood loss. Your body retains more water during this phase of your cycle because progesterone and estrogen are low, and that is why you feel bloated. To relieve muscle cramps, fatigue and bloating focus on increasing the water intake.

Hi! I really like what you have here and feel it would be great for my needs. I noticed though it only goes to Day 28, so I’m curious how that works for someone who doesn’t have a 28 day cycle? Typically mine are currently 32 days average.
Dear Jessica,
If you have a longer cycle, you have to determine which phase of your cycle is longer. For example, if your menstrual phase is more extended (you are bleeding more than 5 days) you can repeat some of the workouts from menstrual phase. For instance, you do 2 times day 5 or day 4. Also, you keep following the nutrition recommendations for this phase as long as you are bleeding.
If your bleeding is not longer than 5 days, then you have to determine which phase is longer. You can take ovulation test strips to detect when is the middle of your cycle. If your ovulation is on day 15 or 16, then you just repeat workout Day 14 and Day 15 two times, and follow nutrition recommendations for the ovulatory phase along.
Happy cycle syncing!
