I came to a realization this year that I was doing too much when it came to my health and fitness journey. Working out 5-7 days a week, trying to lift as heavy as possible, trying to burn a certain amount of calories...you get it. This narrative is far too common with women since we tend to be the ones who overwork ourselves the most. I have completely shifted what I do for movement and how I approach my fitness journey, and the results for me have been life changing. Today I will be chatting with you about if you're doing too much, cycle tracking, and how this shift might be just what you need heading into the new year!Add your stories you want shared on Bestie Tales here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdSn6Ve05j7j3iDR195rX7Abu27Mn3LpO12Q9ahAGEuWLITcQ/viewform?usp=pp_url
