If you are a woman in your 40s or 50s, chances are you have already started to notice some changes in your body.

These changes are natural and normal, but they can make it more difficult to stay in shape. 

One of the best ways to combat these changes is to focus on fitness and exercise, and more specifically, strength training. But with so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start. 

The key is to find an option that you enjoy and that fits into your lifestyle. If you have any health concerns, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting any new fitness routine. And remember, consistency is key! Try to exercise at least three times per week for best results.

The Health Benefits of Exercise: How Working Out Can Change Your Life

Leave a Comment

When it comes to our health, there are a lot of things we need to do in order to stay on top of our game. Eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and avoiding stress are all important factors. However, one of the most important things we can do for our health is exercise! In this blog post, we will discuss the many health benefits of exercise and how working out can change your life!

There are countless benefits to be gained from exercise. For one, exercise can help improve our mental health. It has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Exercise also helps to improve our cognitive function and memory. Additionally, physical activity can increase levels of endorphins in the brain, which have mood-boosting effects!

Many of my clients have seen results beyond weight loss! They’ve improved their self-esteem, re-built their self-confidence and started feeling more capable – and it all started because they decided to be healthier and move more.

In terms of physical health, regular exercise can help to prevent a variety of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. Furthermore, it can help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Exercise also strengthens the bones and muscles and can improve joint function. Regular physical activity has even been linked with a lower risk of developing certain types of cancer!

So what are you waiting for? Get up and get moving! Your health will thank you!

A little bit of motivation goes a long way

Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes need a little push to get moving. Whether it’s finding the energy to start my day or getting in gear to finish a project, a dose of motivation can go a long way. And luckily, there are plenty of ways to find that motivation when you need it.

Your motivation can be compared to a muscle. And, just as with physical muscles, you have to work on building it up in order for your efforts not to go to waste. Here are just a few ideas to build your motivation muscles: 

  • If you’re a member… popping in to our Facebook group for ongoing motivation and for building relationships with people who have similar goals.
  • Joining a workout program that has built in support and accountability. Eh-hem. 😉
  • Listening to Inspiring Podcasts. A few of my faves are Tim Ferris, Maria Forleo, and Rachel Hollis.
  • Creating a playlist that fires you up
  • Reading personal growth books (at LEAST one per month) 🙂 
  • Watch Ted Talks, watch documentaries, and read about inspiring people.

But if you find yourself willpower depleted and feeling like giving up on your goals, don’t worry! It’s easier than ever to stay motivated. Just set aside some time every day for self-improvement—even just five minutes in the morning or before bed will make a huge difference over long periods of days.

Another thing that works: finding an accountability partner, or a coach, who gets what goals we’re working toward while also being able to relate with them because they’ve been there too. 

They “get” our struggle more personally which helps keep things lighthearted but still serious enough so as not feel alone anymore when reaching those moments where stress starts creeping in.

You can bet that coaches won’t hold back when it comes to helping you achieve your goals. We take a personalized, one-on-one approach to help you get the most out of what you’re working on while providing support along the way.

I hope this post provides some inspiration and motivation for you today! Whatever you’re working on, keep pushing forward and you’ll get there eventually. 🙂

So how can you stay motivated? 

First, it’s important to remember that motivation is like a muscle – it needs to be exercised in order to stay strong. 

Second, make sure you have regular doses of inspiration by signing up for my newsletter or following me on social media.
