menopause fitness

As we go through menopause our bodies change in a significant way. That's why our favorite diet and exercise regimens stop working for us. 

But there is too little information out there about what women should be doing INSTEAD of all the cardio that they've been told to do all their lives. 

This episode discusses the 6 biggest mistakes women make with their fitness: 

1️⃣ Allowing perfection to stand in the way of getting started

2️⃣Dieting without strength training 

3️⃣ Chasing quick fixes rather than lifestyle changes

4️⃣ Avoiding strength training like the plague

5️⃣ Doing random workouts expecting to get toned up

6️⃣ Wanting strength training to be more entertaining

You'll learn: 

✨ Why strength training is essential even if you're NOT interested in building muscle

✨ Why staying on the diet rollercoaster is harming your body composition

✨ How long it realistically takes to transform your fitness lifestyle

Enjoy the show!

About this episode:
I launched the podcast a year ago and never imagined it would be so well received. Clearly, there are a lot of women out there who are looking for answers to how to keep their bodies looking and feeling good in midlife and beyond. 

Many women over the age of 40 notice changes in their bodies: weight gain, fat redistribution (belly fat), and that their muscle tone is disappearing. 

And their immediate instinct when their tried-and-true diet and exercise routines fail them is to double down: increase the cardio and cut calories even further. 

But our bodies have changed, so doubling-down is not the answer. 😕

In this episode, I share the cornerstones of working with your 'new' body. 

The goal is: 

1.  to learn how to work with your body, 
2. to maintain your weight, muscle and fitness long-term: to get off the diet rollercoaster for good. 

Enjoy the episode.

I get so many messages from women thanking me for increasing their awareness of perimenopause and I realized I've never really done an episode specifically on perimenopause. So here it is.

In this episode, I go through what every woman should know about perimenopause. I also share my own crazy journey, and how I survived it.

I hope this episode reaches you before you need it.

Simply lifting weights is not enough to get the benefits of resistance training. What?!? That's right. You need to be lifting heavy (for you). In this episode, I explain why.  

I cover the basics of muscle biology that everyone should know - if you're interested in getting and staying fit and strong for life:

🍁 How we lose muscle as we age, 

🍁 How to prevent and even reverse muscle loss

🍁 The role of estrogen in supporting muscle, and what that means for women in perimenopause and menopause

🍁 The difference between type I and type II muscle fibers and why you need to care about your type II muscle fibers

You'll get answers to the following questions (and more):

🔹 Why do people get weaker as they age and is there anything I can do about it?

🔹 Why does my body composition seem to be changing as I get older?

🔹 Why am I not seeing the same results as that fitness influencer though I'm doing the same exercises?

🔹 How heavy do I need to lift to build muscle and increase my strength?

🔹 How does menopause affect my strength and ability to build muscle?

🔹 Is it a good idea to swap up my weight training exercises often?

So, if you're interested in understanding how to get strong and stay strong in midlife and beyond, you'll want to hear this one. Let's get started!

🤔 Have you heard that weight training is only for "younger" people? 

Well, it's just not true. Weight training is for everyone! 

And if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause, it's especially good for you! 😀

In this episode, I go over the benefits of weight training from the point of view of women in perimenopause and beyond. 

You'll learn about: 

• The health benefits of weight training
• How lifting heavy can reverse aging in your body (I know it sounds like click-bait, but it's true!)
• How weight training improves your quality of life - and it does not take long to start noticing the changes in your daily life
• How weight training has transformed my body after menopause - and how it can do that for you too! 

Enjoy the episode!

About this episode:

🥳 The new year is here! It's the perfect time to make start making some changes to your fitness habits - a clean slate. 

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the things that women in perimenopause and menopause should be focusing on in 2024 to take care of their bodies and feel better in them. 

Our bodies change in the menopause transition, and to keep feeling (and looking) good, we need to change what we're doing. 

Warning: there are no 'sexy' fad diets mentioned here! Just realistic lifestyle changes that you can make. 

Enjoy the show!

After over-indulging for the final weeks of the year, many plan to start the new year with a newfound determination to get in shape. 

While your first instinct may be to start a new diet and begin burning crazy amounts of calories, I have a different idea: one that will better move you towards that "toned" look that you aspire to. 

In this episode, I share my strategy for getting your body looking and feeling more firm and athletic by summer. It's a 2-phased approach, and there is no new diet or additional cardio needed. 

Instead, you'll be focusing on doing the two things that you need to do to look more 'toned':

1. Increasing your lean muscle mass
2. Decreasing your body fat

In other words, by following my approach, you will achieve body recomposition. 

Take a listen for the details of how it all happens, and get started now so that as winter turns into spring turns into summer and you start shedding clothing, you'll be excited to show off your more fit body. 

Enjoy the episode!

About the episode:

✨Studies of weight loss show that most people who lose weight gain it back within 1-3 years. 😬

So how can you maintain your weight over the long term?

👉Well, when they've studied why people have been able to maintain the weight loss, it's because they've made an identity shift.

And that's what I talk about in this episode. 

I cover:

• Why most people gain back the weight they've lost
• What you can do to maintain your fitness progress over time
• How to build sustainable fitness habits
• Why an all-or-nothing mentality does not work. 

Enjoy the episode!

🌸 Menopause happens around age 50. That's what I knew about menopause when I was in my 40s. And unfortunately, that's all too typical. 

🌸The fact is that perimenopause can start over 10 years BEFORE menopause, and can bring with it a whole host of unpleasant symptoms. 

🌸Women who are not up-to-speed on the facts of menopause can suffer for years and not even realize that the issues stem from the hormonal changes going on. 

🌸In this episode, I go over the basics that every woman should know. 

🙏 Please share this one with all the women you know who are over the age of 30 - it's never too early to start preparing. 

🤗 Enjoy the episode!

Seeing results in the weight room does not happen overnight. It takes time – especially if you’re in perimenopause or menopause. So, it’s important for you to be doing the right things, and doing them right. 

In episode #35 of 40+ Fitness for Women, I look at four key reasons why you might not be seeing results in the weight room. I explain why these are important and how you can fix them. 

They are: 

1. Exercise selection
2. Swapping exercises too frequently
3. Not applying progressive overload
4. Too low intensity in your training

Ever wondered how small lifestyle changes can create big transformations? On the brink of my 44th birthday, I found myself grappling with perimenopause symptoms and decided enough was enough. I embarked on an exciting journey of personal transformation, drawing inspiration from Dr. Peter Attica's longevity talks, and adapting Andrew Hoover's fitness regime to suit my lifestyle. I've been on this journey for a week, and I'm already amazed by the shifts I've noticed.

Now, I'm no fitness guru, but I've discovered that understanding your body and personalizing your fitness regime can work wonders! I've been juggling with SIBO, so figuring out the right diet was a challenge. But I've been trial and erroring my way to balance my nutrition and muscle mass, aiming for optimal health and longevity. I've turned to the Andrew Huberman method and tailored it to create my own workout schedule. This includes everything from zone two cardio, torso and neck training, and high-intensity interval training.

One week into this transformation journey, and I'm already seeing some incredible results! All these small changes are paving the way for a healthier lifestyle, and I'm more than excited to share this journey with you. Let's not rush this process; it's not about quick fixes but a sustainable lifestyle change. I'm aiming at reducing body fat, metabolic age, and visceral fat, and I'm thrilled to see the progress in the next 30 days. So, join me, and let's lead a life on purpose, towards a healthier and happier us!

• How often should you lift weights: Episode #20
• Factors affecting the results you’ll get from lifting: Episodes #12 and #13
• Some basic muscle biology: Episode #4

In this episode, I go through 5 reasons why weight training is a MUST for women in perimenopause and menopause. These include: 

1. How weight training counteracts the deterioration of our bodies that comes with age and loss of estrogen
2. How weight training improves our quality of life – after all, we’re not dying at age 50!
3. How lifting heavy helps us decrease visceral fat (get rid of "menobelly")
4. How weight training enables us to stop our metabolisms from slowing down
5. How weight training helps in the treatment of depression.

As women in midlife  (I'm 52), we are NOT doomed to get fatter. We CAN do something about that - and that is to train in a way that improves our body composition. 

Body composition means how much fat and muscle you have in your body relative to one another. As a rule, the more muscle  relative to fat you have, the better (of course, going to extremes is not good!)

In this episode, I review how I managed significant body recomposition in 1 year and share tips on how you can do the same. 

I share: 

• My results - how much body weight, fat and visceral fat I lost
• How I achieved body recomposition with a combination of weight training and a 10-week calorie deficit
• How you can do it too - I share my tips. 

You'll learn: 

• What is visceral fat, why you should care, and how weight training helps reduce it
• How to minimize loss of muscle when dieting
• How to take progress pictures
• My strategy for body recomposition.

Enjoy the episode!

About this episode:
✨Are you a woman in her 40s or 50s looking to improve your health and fitness but don't know where to get started? 

There is sooo much information out there about how to feel better in perimenopause and menopause, but what are the most important places to start?

 In this episode, I look at the 4 big rocks to improving your health and fitness in midlfe. 

If you get these 4 things under control, you're going to be ahead of 98% of women and I promise you are going to feel much better than you do today. 

The four big rocks for 40+ fitness are: 

 1️⃣ Sleep:  I know. Boring but sooo essential. And without good sleep everything else is just sooo much harder. I discuss the sleep issues 40+ women face and why and share tips on how to improve your quality of sleep. 

2️⃣ Steps:  We are too sedentary and it's killing our bodies. I share how many steps you should be aiming for (no, the magic number is not 10 000), and tips on how to get there. 

3️⃣ Strength training: Probably no big surprise to anyone who has followed me that strength training is going to be on my list of top things to do. The benefits are real! (check out episode #2 for more about the benefits)

4️⃣ Protein: I discuss the benefits, how much protein to aim for, and share my strategy for getting in enough protein in the day.

In this week's episode, I discuss five of the biggest fitness mistakes I see 40+ women making with their workouts. This is the stuff they're doing IN their workouts. Many of them are due to misinformation and the messages we've been fed growing up about how to exercise, and about what is effective. 

I want to clear up those misconceptions so that you can get more out of your training!

✨You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old! ✨

In this episode, I go over the SOOOO common misconceptions that perpetuate the fitness industry and which are really hindering 40+ women from keeping our bodies strong and young as we age. 

I discuss 4 common myths (or maybe misinformation) that are still very much alive in the world of fitness and I suggest two mindset shifts that 40+ women need to make to maximize their fitness. 

You'll get answers to questions like: 

• Is lifting weights really an effective workout?
• What kind of workouts with weights are effective for building strength and muscle?
• How to get that 'toned' look?
• Is swapping workouts frequently effective?

In this episode, I refer to other episodes which can help you to understand the whole picture: 

• episode #3: Tips for starting weight training in midlife
• episode #4: Muscles in midlife: a quick lesson in muscle biology
• episode #5: 5 Things you need to do to build muscle

In this week's episode, I dive into what is going on with women's bodies in perimenopause and menopause and how strength training is really the key to keeping our bodies functioning properly and serving us well through the rest of our lives. 

In menopause, our estrogen levels change dramatically. I review all the ways that loss of estrogen negatively impacts the condition of our bodies and the vital role that weight training plays in counteracting it. If you're a woman in her 30s, 40s or 50s, you won't want to miss this one!

I discuss: 

• What are perimenopause, menopause & post-menopause?
• What are the most common symptoms of menopause?
• What age do people hit menopause?
• How long does perimenopause last?
• What's going on with our hormones in menopause?
• What's the role of estrogen, and what happens when there is less of it?
• How to maintain and increase your strength
• How to improve bone density
• What kind of weight training is effective to counteract the changes
• and more!

The 3 C's that frequently factor, when I'm talking to women with pelvic floor dysfunction are

 1) Comfort - not only of prolapse, but of pessaries and general pelvic cavity comfort.

 2) Conditioning - not only how exercise can trigger pelvic floor symptoms, but also how symptoms can be managed (and improved) with effective exercise practice! 

 3) Confidence - The biggie! Confidence, not only aesthetically, but also more generally. From exploring intimacy and new sexual partners, to confidence out socially, when you're not sure how your pelvic floor might behave (or not!)
