POSTNATAL FITNESS

Step Into a New Future with our Meno Years program
-
I am now in surgical menopause and on HRT. I'm healthy and feeling great but my body is in desperate need of some conditioning. Can you help?
-
I'm perimenopausal, I've gained weight and my motivation is low. I'm looking for fitness and nutritional support to regain my confidence,
Beyond Babies! The Meno Years
The concept of The Meno years The circle of life, is one that reminds us to embrace and cherish each stage of a woman's journey.
When I started my exercise career Lucy my youngest was a baby and my eldest Hannah a toddler, I was in my 30s and my body was crying out to regain fitness. I wanted to sweat! running, aerobics, high intensity interval training, and zumba where part of my weekly routine.
Fast forward to now, my girls have both left home and my body…well, its craving a different kind of fitness routine. Forget half marathons and hours of HIIT. As I go through the inevitable hormonal changes, I’m more aware that my 47 year old body needs a change of pace.
Yes I still run and I do love HIIT but more recently my body craves extra TLC which includes focusing more on flexibility, mindful nutrition, functional movement, breath work, core and pelvic floor connection and strength training.
Strength training is the key to maintaining muscle tone and bone density as we age, and I encourage all my female clients to embrace the benefits as we navigate our way through life’s transitions. I have seen first hand how weight training can improve confidence, boost energy and increase self esteem.
Our clients from early 40’s to the over 70s all benefit from the right kind of program.
While hormonal changes can have an effect on your body’s ability to process proteins, engaging in strength training can help women build muscle and slow down the natural aging process. Strength training has a multitude of benefits, including improving cardiovascular health, increasing flexibility and balance, reducing stress levels, and even enhancing self-confidence.
If YOU like ME are going through perimenopause or are in menopause let’s do this together let’s build a fabulous and fit future;
Where strength training is the norm.
Where lifting weights is something to be proud of.
Where weekly strength training sessions include exercises like squats, deadlifts, chest presses and planks.
Where preserving muscle mass and bone density is more important than what the scales say!
Where those creaky knees, and daily aches and pains are eliminated or reduced.
Where pelvic floor dysfunction is talked about openly, and individually tailored workout solutions are crafted to enable improvement.
Where beginning a pelvic floor and core strengthening program at any stage will improve symptoms.
Where consistent effort pays off even when times are tough or your mojo has taken a nosedive!
Where nutritional tweaks can reduce cravings, improve energy levels and support weight loss.
Where YOU have the confidence that by embracing the 3 P's:
Positive attitude
Positive preparation
Positive action
YOU will be able to achieve POSITIVE RESULTS.
Along with my team, it’s my mission to help empower women of all ages who are experiencing or passing through the Meno years, to build strength with lifting, gain confidence with support and increase personal body awareness through education, and application.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or an experienced lifter looking for new ways to challenge yourself, we can help with nutrition advice, guidance on form and technique, we have everything you need so you can focus on achieving your goals safely and effectively.
If the initial step to starting a weight lifting program feels overwhelming, don't worry we have the perfect solution.
