Fit After 40: the Women’s Fitness & Health Revolution Podcast

10 Tips for Starting Fitness in Perimenopause & Beyond

Today, we are talking the Top 10 Tips for getting started with Fitness in Perimenopause & Beyond. This list is a culmination of things I have learned the hard way (aka the biggest mistakes I've made that affected my health, happiness, and gains), plus mistakes my clients have made that have wasted time, money, and energy + how to avoid them. A lot of the list comes from unlearning a lot of what we have come to believe fitness "should be," but actually gets in our way. Good news. You are going to walk away with a much more approachable, far less time consuming, and an incredibly more sustainable approach to life long fitness.  Better news? These tips can help you get started at ANY age. Side note? As with most things, health and fitness, even though this podcast is dedicated to my ladies in the menopausal transition, these tips apply to starting fitness at any age or stage!   Not sure where to start?  Check out a complimentary session with Fit After 40!
