Fit2loveMidlife
Your body can feel very different through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
What worked in your 30s may no longer work in quite the same way. Your energy, sleep, strength, weight, joints and confidence can all be affected, and it can be difficult to know what you should be doing.
I understand this both personally and professionally. I’m in my late 50s and postmenopausal, and I’ve been through the ups and downs of perimenopause myself.
You don’t need an extreme plan. You need something realistic that works for your body and fits into your life.
Staying Strong through Midlife
Strength training becomes increasingly important as we get older. It helps us maintain muscle and bone strength, supports balance and mobility, and enables us to keep doing the things we enjoy.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t trained before. We start from where you are, use the weights that you can manage and build gradually.
The aim is not to lift the heaviest weights. It is to help you become stronger and stay strong.
Looking at the whole person
Training is only one part of the picture
Sleep, nutrition, stress, energy, injuries and what is happening in your life can all affect how you feel and how you train.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
We look at what is happening for you and make practical changes that you can maintain.
Everyone goes through menopause differently, so we find out what works for you.
My Menopause Story
Looking back, I realise that I started perimenopause in my early 40s. At the time, I had recently divorced, was living by myself and was having to work more, so I put many of the changes I was experiencing down to what was happening in my life.
I’m normally a very positive person, but I felt low, emotional and full of self-doubt. My weight started to increase without any major change in my diet, and my confidence was badly affected.
Understanding what was happening helped me make sense of it. Training, staying strong and mobile, yoga, walking and looking at the way I live all continue to help me now.
