In this three-part series, I talk about how hormones affect your training. Part one is looking at hormones and training during the menstrual cycle years. Part two will look at hormonal changes and training during pregnancy and postpartum and part three will look at perimenopause and menopause.

In today’s episode, I talk about the hormonal, anatomical and physiological changes that happen during pregnancy and postpartum and how they affect training.
