Fun over 40

Episode 34: A business pivot - helping the Aspiring Health Coach

In this episode, as I watch my first snowfall in Chattanooga, I share about my fruitful experience leading a beta group coaching session for aspiring health coaches. I had the joy of mentoring a vibrant group of women, equipping them with the tools to launch and develop their health coaching businesses. From the ins and outs of email marketing to the finer points of client management, the conversation blossomed into much more than just business advice. It became a candid exchange of stories and strategies.  I realized I wanted to follow this path and see where it leads. So, you'll hear more topics on the podcast about starting and growing your coaching business. In order to give me time and space in my schedule to build out my new business ideas,  I'll also just drop one episode per month (for now!). For anyone poised on the brink of health coaching or entrepreneurship, these episodes will offer a blend of inspiration, practical guidance, and a glimpse into the genuine satisfaction of helping others forge their path.

Episode 30: Harnessing the Power of HIIT for a Smooth Menopausal Transition

What if you could not only manage the shifts of menopause, but actually thrive during this transition? Ladies, you're in for a treat, as I unravel the power of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) during perimenopause and post-menopause. We dive into the science behind HIIT, and how it's not just a fantastic energy booster, but also a tool to improve insulin sensitivity and tackle that stubborn visceral fat.  More than that, I'll shed light on why keeping those intense intervals short is the real game-changer, and give you fresh and fun ways of incorporating HIIT into your routine. ... Warm-ups are your best friend, so remember to never skip them! Aging might be inevitable, but slowing down isn't. There's a world of benefits that HIIT can bring to older individuals - and I'm excited to share that with you. Also, just because it's high intensity, doesn't mean it's high impact. HIIT can flexibly fit into your life. Whether you're a pool person or a cycling enthusiast, it's got you covered.  I'll reveal why agility is your secret weapon against falls and injuries as you age, and how HIIT helps you maintain it. Starting slow and keeping a balance is key, so I'll guide you on how to best incorporate HIIT into your workout regime.  So, don't fret if you have any questions or concerns, I'm here for you. Remember, it's never too late to adopt a healthier lifestyle. It's always a good time to reach out, get active, and embrace the power of HIIT.
