Why Women Need Different Workouts Than Men (and What to Do Instead)
Most fitness advice is based on research done on men, but women’s bodies function differently due to hormonal fluctuations. Training like a man - constant high-intensity workouts, fasted cardio, and pushing through exhaustion - can lead to hormonal burnout instead of progress. Yes we can do all of them sports and activities as men. We just need to be mindful of our nervous systems and hormones a little more.
The Problem with Generic Training Programs
Women burn more fat for fuel in the luteal phase, while men rely more on glycogen.
High cortisol from intense daily workouts can disrupt female hormones.
Recovery needs are different—women need more rest and stress management.
Messages I get from clients:
💭 “Why do I feel stronger some weeks but sluggish in others?” 💭 “I train like my male friends, but my results are different.” 💭 “I keep getting injured or feeling burnt out.”
