    3. How can weight training sessions be made less boring?
    4. Am I on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and what’s my experience with it?

  • #97: 6 Things I've Changed My Mind About as a Menopause Fitness Coach

    #97: 6 Things I've Changed My Mind About as a Menopause Fitness Coach
    Dec 17 2024

    After menopause, I noticed big changes in my body as my familiar fitness routines stopped working. The lessons I’ve learned — from studying menopause and midlife fitness, from my personal experiences, and from coaching a wide variety of women — have completely transformed my thinking.

    In this episode, I share six things I’ve changed my mind about:

    1. My definition of being in “good shape”
    2. Tracking calories burned during a workout
    3. The importance of sleep
    4. Weight training
    5. Aging
    6. Tracking what you eat

    Listen to the episode to hear what I’ve learned—it might change the way you think about your own health, fitness, and aging journey too!
