In this short video, Lindsey Bomgren delivers a candid hot‑take on the popular fitness trend of “cycle syncing.” She argues that the concept is heavily marketed as a way to sell workout programs rather than being grounded in solid scientific research. Bomgren claims the physiological differences across menstrual phases are trivial for strength development and advises that individuals should engage in strength training throughout all phases of their cycle, rather than tailoring workouts to the cycle.

But I think anyone who's trying to convince you to do cycle syncing is trying to sell their. Their maybe easier workout program to you. If I'm being really transparent, like that's my thought. This is hot takes with Lizzie. You should be. This is the time take is that they're trying to sell you something because cycle syncing is just not science and research back. There's trivial differences. You can build strength in all phases of your cycle, and I think you should be strength training in all phases of your cycle.
