training programme
The Synced Method has been developed by Seema Chopra to harness the females individual strengths, moods and energy within each phase of their cycle.
Research has shown that unfortunately we cannot apply a one fits all rule for training females around their menstrual cycle, so it’s vital for each individual to understand their symptoms and to feed that into the programme. Thereby a programme is created that is unique and backed by the physiology of female health.
This is EMPOWERMENT for the Active Woman:
Excel in your strengths
Balance training and recovery
Push boundaries during peak cycle strength
Supportive cohort and safe learning space
Safely developing fitness with research-informed strategies
It needs 100% commitment from you!
