Cycle Aware HIIT Density Rule
Cycle aware HIIT density rule caps weekly red-line minutes by menstrual phase—fewer HIIT days in luteal and none on heavy-flow days when cramps dominate.
Cycle aware HIIT density rule limits high-intensity interval sessions per week by phase—two hard HIIT days in follicular, one in luteal, zero during heavy-flow days when cramps and fatigue dominate for many athletes. Density means how many red-line minutes accumulate, not just session count.
Spread intervals across the week; avoid back-to-back HIIT beside heavy lifting. Phase guides planning; individual logs confirm.
Common questions
-
How many HIIT sessions should I do per cycle phase?
A practical start is two hard days in follicular and one in luteal. Skip HIIT on heavy-flow days if cramps or fatigue spike—replace with easy movement.
