The popular health and fitness tracking app Gentler Streak has been updated to version 3.1 with a strong focus on women’s health in honor of the International Day of Action for Women’s Health.
Gentler Streak updated to version 3.1 with a new menstrual cycle metric
The biggest feature of Gentler Streak version 3.1 is the new menstrual cycle metric which can be found on the Wellbeing tab. Once users input a little bit of information regarding their cycle in the app, they will be provided with information on the exact phase of their cycle and the impact it may have on their daily well-being as well as insights on each phase of the menstrual cycle. In addition, users’ activity guidance will accordingly be adjusted to their readiness.
The latest version of Gentler Streak also offers “Flow Workouts,” which are activities considered “appropriate for the first days of the period,” These are offered as a part of Go Gentler suggestions.
“Gentler Streak remains a health and fitness app. While we include vital parts of the menstrual cycle in our guidance, we let the specialized apps handle the rest. As each body is different and carries the baby their own way, we do not cover guidance designed for pregnancy. Medical professionals are the ones to support and guide woman’s way through this transformative period,” says co-founder Katarina Lotrič.
