Mobility work supports your joint health, improves range of motion, and helps protect against injury… especially as our hormones shift! Joint pain and stiffness are very common in perimenopause - but they’re not something you have to ignore! Mobility helps: 🫶🏽lubercate your joints 🫶🏽reduce stiffness 🫶🏽improve movement quality 🫶🏽support recovery Move your joints. Calm your body. If you want to keep lifting, walking, AND living fully… mobility matters!!💜

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!💜🫶🏽

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?

🫡DID YOU KNOW?!! During perimenopause, our crazy hormone fluctuations change how our bodies responds to stress, including exercise stress.... Here’s what’s actually happening physiologically 👇🏽 🔬 Lower estrogen = higher stress response. As estrogen declines, your body becomes more sensitive to cortisol (a.k.a. - the stress hormone). Long intense workouts can actually SPIKE cortisol higher and keep it elevated longer. 🔬 Chronically high cortisol can backfire!! Too much intensity plus not enough recovery can lead to: 😴 increased fatigue 🤰🏻 stubborn belly fat ⬆️ inflammation 🛏️ poor sleep 🚶🏻‍♀️slower recovery 🔬 Muscle becomes more metabolically important with aging and hormone shifts. Preserving and building muscle matters more than burning calories. Strength training supports ✅ insulin sensitivity ✅ Helps stabilize blood sugar ✅ Supports metabolism and bone density Your body responds best when it feels safe, not constantly pushed!!! So, lower-volume strength work, plus walking, plus rest - helps regulate the nervous system and hormones. And the result?.....Many women feel better, and see better results with: 💪🏽fewer workouts 💪🏽more recovery 💪🏽more strength ( a.k.a. lifting heavier, less reps ) It's biology!💜 Train smarter. Support your hormones. Trust your body.

OK, so I love my Peloton but sometimes getting yelled at by a coach is not what I’m feeling… So they have these game-type rides that I decided to try and it was actually super fun and I got super sweaty! I also built my own drop seven body weight workout, which I used to do years ago but haven’t done it in a long time! I love a routine but sometimes I just need something a little different! (The drop seven video is only the ‘six’ portion)
