Go With the Flow: Sync Your Cycle, Fuel Your Strength

Let’s be real: your period doesn’t care if it’s leg day. But what if you could actually work with your cycle instead of fighting it?

At Raae, we believe your body is brilliant—and that includes your hormones. Understanding how your menstrual cycle affects your energy, strength, cravings, and mood isn’t just self-care—it’s a fitness power move. So, let’s break the stigma and talk about syncing movement and meals to your monthly rhythm.

Because your period isn’t a pause—it’s part of your power.

Week 1: Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
What’s happening: Hormones are at their lowest, and your body is shedding the uterine lining. Energy might dip—rest is key.

Move: Light walks, stretching, gentle yoga. Honor your body’s need to slow down.

Fuel: Focus on iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils, dark chocolate) and hydration. Add magnesium to ease cramps.

Raae Pick: Our ultra-soft Sculpt Scrunch Top—made for movement that feels more like self-soothing than sweating.

Week 2: Follicular Phase (Days 6–14)
What’s happening: Estrogen is rising, bringing energy, mood boosts, and better endurance.

Move: Try strength training, HIIT, running—your body is primed for gains!

Fuel: Lean proteins, whole grains, and fiber-rich veggies. Your digestion and motivation are both on point.

Raae Pick: The Sculpt  Set—high-performance fabric to match your high vibe.

Week 3: Ovulation (Around Day 14)
What’s happening: Estrogen and testosterone peak—you may feel strong, confident, and social.

Move: Go bold—heavy lifts, intense circuits, or group workouts. Just be mindful of joint stability, which can fluctuate.

Fuel: Antioxidant-rich foods like berries, nuts, and seeds support this high-energy phase.

Raae Pick: Our Sculpt Scrunch Top and Leggings—for the days when you want to show up and show out.

Week 4: Luteal Phase (Days 15–28)
What’s happening: Progesterone rises, PMS might sneak in, and energy dips gradually.

Move: Scale back intensity. Focus on pilates, steady-state cardio, or mobility work.

Fuel: Complex carbs (like sweet potatoes and oats), healthy fats, and foods that stabilize blood sugar. Say yes to dark chocolate and yes to balance.

Raae Pick: The Sculpt Leggings—because sometimes, support means softness.

Why It Matters
Learning to move and fuel in sync with your cycle isn’t about limitations—it’s about liberation. Your body has its own rhythm. When you honor it, everything flows better: your energy, your results, your mindset.

At Raae, we’re here to support you through every phase—with activewear that adapts, just like you do.
