💪 Tips for Getting Your Workout In — Even When You’re Tired or Unmotivated We all have those days where the energy is low, the motivation is missing, and the couch looks way more inviting than the gym. You’re not alone — it happens to everyone! Here are some simple ways to stay on track and keep moving forward 💥 🧠 1. Don’t Wait for Motivation — Create It Motivation doesn’t magically show up. It comes after you start moving. Tell yourself, “I’ll just do 5 minutes.” Once you get started, your body (and brain) usually fall into rhythm. 💡 2. Lower the Pressure Not every workout has to be your best. If you’re tired, scale it down — 20 minutes of movement still counts! Do a short circuit, a walk, or focus on mobility. Consistency beats perfection every time. ⚡ 3. Set Yourself Up for Success - Schedule your workout like an appointment — no rescheduling yourself. - Lay out your clothes the night before. - Use music or a podcast that instantly lifts your energy. - Have a “go-to” quick workout ready for low-energy days. 💬 4. Stay Accountable Having someone waiting for you makes all the difference! - Text your workout buddy or trainer your plan. - Track your sessions and celebrate every one you complete. - Remember: progress is built one consistent choice at a time. 💗 5. Listen to Your Body — But Know the Difference If you’re exhausted, rest intentionally. If you’re unmotivated, move anyway. Movement gives you energy — even a light session can turn your mood around. 🌱 6. Focus on the After Feeling You never regret a workout, but you always feel stronger, clearer, and more confident afterward. Remind yourself: “I’m doing this because I deserve to feel good in my body.” You got this!!

I’m 48 and navigating perimenopause (though with an IUD, it’s hard to know exactly where I am in the transition). What I do know is that strength training has been life-changing — building muscle has supported my energy, metabolism, and overall health in ways nothing else has. That’s why I’ve built this community: to help women like us stay strong, healthy, and empowered through every stage of menopause. It’s an honor to share this journey with you. Here’s a video from Dr. Stacey Sims that gave me valuable insight — I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me.https://youtu.be/vb4X6W2staU?si=OScit-fv2vdVwGqk

Sometimes life can be so chaotic with kids, career, partner, and social responsibilities that things are just too overwhelming to even want to get up and face the day We have all been there. Stuck! Stuck in a moment that seems like forever. But it’s not. Grateful to have people around me, and in communities like this one where I can share my frustrations and allow the art of letting go take lead Thank you my Fierce Females for being here and part of this community. As much as I’d like to say I created this community for you, I selfishly created it for me 💜💜 Have a good day to all you Mamma 🐻’s
