Have you ever thought about working out in harmony with the moon? It could just be the magic ingredient you need to take exercising to the next (lunar) level.

“As the moon grows in the sky to the first quarter the masculine energy is rising and this is a time of growth and abundance,” explains Whybrow. “The moon continues in her waxing phase to the full moon and the peak of the masculine energy. You know how sometimes you go for a run, and it almost feels like you’re flying? Well, I wouldn’t quite go that far… but it felt really goodI had big expectations for this week, seeing as the first quarter had felt great. I had learned that as she waxes and grows to the full moon, the masculine yang energy rises and this is a time of increased energy and growth. Time to pick up those weights.
When you can't see the moon, that's a sign to relax... and when it's full moon, that's the time to go hard.“After reaching her peak as a full moon, the moon then begins to wane and decrease in size to the new moon,” explains Whybrow. “This is a time where the feminine yin energy rises and we begin to go inwards, to reflect and rest.”
Usually, I wouldn’t give myself permission to slow down, but given that I’d worked so hard in the full moon stage, I decided to go with it, and you know what? I didn’t become unfit overnight. Who knew?And so, we reach the end of the cycle. Did I really notice any difference? Well, it certainly felt good both emotionally and physically to be more mindful of my movement, and spending some time considering how and why I was moving felt novel. I also felt more connected with nature.
