Scientists have determined that the 2-week period prior to your menstruation is a premium fat burning time. Australian studies have shown that women were able to burn off as much as 30% more fat in the 2 weeks preceding their period.
During this time, the female body’s production of estrogen and progesterone are at their highest. Since these hormones tell the body to use fat as a source of energy, exercising during this time, can really pay off, because the body will be inclined to target fat cells for catabolism.
I know this is a very difficult time for some women to get into the gym to workout for several physical reasons (cramps, backache, headache, etc.). However, you should really push yourself, because once you get going, the payoff is so worth it. You would be surprised at how much better you'd feel after a good workout.
Live Fit Live Strong!
