Women’s fitness needs differ from men’s. Here’s what to know:

1️⃣ Fasted Exercise: Can spike cortisol, especially in women due to fasting and menstrual cycles.

2️⃣ Calorie Sensitivity: Women are more prone to hormonal imbalances from low calorie intake, affecting periods.

3️⃣ Body Fat: Women need 20-25% body fat for health, versus 12-15% for men.

4️⃣ Track Progress Differently: Use body measurements, energy, and fitness performance instead of just weight.

5️⃣ Iron Needs: Women need more iron (18-27mg/day) due to menstruation.

6️⃣ Healthy Fats: Essential for hormone health. Eat omega-3-rich foods like nuts and fish.
