Are you thinking of putting your fitness on pause for the summer? 👇

Vacation season is here, and the temptation to put your fitness goals on hold till fall is huge. 😎

But as women in perimenopause and post-menopause, getting back in shape in the fall is no longer a matter of couple weeks of discipline because our bodies don't respond the way they used to.

Taking the whole summer off from training means losing the precious strength and muscle tissue you've built, and getting it back will take time and work.

So, how about avoiding the decline?

You CAN hold on to your muscle and still enjoy the summer - and this episode explains how.

Plus, you'll get some tips on how to avoid the summer weight gain.

Enjoy the show!

We're not 20 anymore.

Our bodies have been through LIFE, and that means that most of us have some area of our bodies that don't work quite so perfectly anymore.

😬 Maybe it's a cranky knee.

😬 Maybe you have arthritis in your joints.

😬 Or maybe you've got a recent injury.

Those do not need to stop you from lifting weights and keeping your body strong and fit.

In episode #72, I share what training with injuries and age-related wear-and-tear is like, and how you can modify your training to accommodate your limitations so you can keep lifting.

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are becoming mainstream in the USA. The shots are being offered not only to those who need to lose weight for health reasons but also to normal-weight people who are looking for an easy way to get skinny. Women especially are hopping on board the weight loss bus.

But as with any drug, there are downsides too.

In this episode of the podcast, I share my thoughts on using weight loss drugs.

If you've noticed the loss of muscle tone that so many women in their 40s, 50s or 60s wake up to, and you are working out regularly, then this episode is for you.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry is that any workout with weights will 'tone you up' (ie. build muscle) but that's just not true.

I used to believe that too, and I was devastated when despite going to my beloved Pump and Bootcamp classes, and working my tail off, my muscle tone disappeared. 😭

There is a science to building muscle. 💪

When we're younger, our bodies respond better to less 'optimal' training, but as our estrogen levels decline in menopause, we need to train more effectively - and a structured weight training program will allow you to do just that.

In episode #70 of 40+ Fitness for Women, I discuss why you'll build more muscle with a structured weight training program.

Have you noticed changes in your body? Are your tried-and-tested diet and exercise routines not working anymore?

Welcome to menopause.

Menopause is not just about not getting your period anymore and hot flushes. The changes in your female hormones affect all parts of your body.

It is a fundamental change. And it means that you need to change how you work with your new body.
