Here's an ab/core exercise that doesn't look like much~but it seriously works your abs and core~ especially those hard to get lower abdominals and tummy pooch we seem to gain in perimenopause !👌🏼 Remember as always~ keep your body in a straight line, core engaged, booty down, shoulders away from your ears and head looking 3-5 inches ahead of you. 😊 perform for 30 seconds to one minute….And let me know if you give it a try!💜🫶🏽

Here’s a memory from My Facebook this morning from 10 years ago today. Notes I need to take into account starting a new job today that I’m not so sure is for me…. More reasons to push for my dreams! Do you find yourself doing any of these things? Let me know in the comments !💜 and have a beautiful day!

Strength isn’t about the tool….it’s about the tension. Weights, bodyweight, bands, sliders… it all works when you do💪🏽 Whether you’re using weights, bands, sliders ( you can use paper plates too!) or body weight - your body responds to tension, control, and consistency, not fancy equipment! Especially in perimenopause - strength work helps: 💪🏽preserve muscle 🧬support metabolism 🙌🏽improve insulin sensitivity 🦴 protect bones & joints 💃🏻 build confidence in your body The best workout? The one you can do consistently, wherever you are - with what you have. Strong looks different in every season..and it all counts🥰💜 What’s your favourite way to add tension?

I have to say I LOVE my Oura ring for all that it tracks, including my HRV, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, even biometrics if I’m getting sick….BUT ☝🏼 I find that I am now pretty Much OBSESSED with tracking certain things… especially my sleep score. As you can see here, last night I only got 80%… 85 and above is optimal, and the days I don’t hit 85 or more I stress about it lol. ( I’m learning to let it go when its still 80- 85)… but when it’s 79 or under (which doesn’t happen too too much) I AM SO HARD ON MYSELF! I do love that having my Oura ring has realllly helped me make sleep a priority - but sometimes I wonder if I’d be better off not knowing. 🤔 Any one else track your sleep , steps , macros, etc? How does it make you feel if you don’t meet your goals or optimal health ? Do you find having a tracker has made you a bit “too much” like me? Thanks in advance for commenting and I hope everyone gets an “optimal” Sleep tonight!💜
