Training in perimenopause requires a few simple tweaks to drive great results in our body, and prevent weight gain. As hormone levels change, our body responds differently to the exercise we do which means we sometimes don't see the results we expect even when we put in a big effort. So today I'm sharing the best types of exercise and the best workout schedules that drive great results in perimenopause, so you can lose extra pounds, have better energy, and set yourself up in a strong, sculpted and capable body!

On my cross country trip coming home for Christmas I had a shocking fall that dislocated my elbow. I was lucky enough to have the strength to get up, drive myself to a hospital and recover well over the following weeks. Falls can be dangerous at any age, and you never know when you're going to need to draw on your reserves. It's always a good time to be getting strong, and staying that way. I'm sharing my story today, with inspiration for you to keep making deposits in your own "health savings account!"
