Focus on STRONG to balance your hormones and see your body change FAST
Did you know an intelligently designed menopause strength training program — combined with some key nutrition changes — can have a HUGE positive impact on menopausal women?
It’s true! While nutrition and exercise each have their own unique benefits for menopausal women — when you combine the two, you supercharge your results.
Do you find that you just have no time? Dashing from one thing to the next? We all live such busy lives and have the best intentions but when it comes to exercise we never seem to find the time!
Time is our most valuable commodity, right? Our focus is pulled in all directions- working a job, dealing with our kids, preparing meals, and all our other daily chores, you are already exhausted.
And now, you are experiencing all the extra symptoms brought on from perimenopause or menopause and the slowing down and aches and pains of age.
From hot flashes, joint pain, brain fog?
Then when you decide "no, I've really got to do more exercise" because your favorite jeans don't fit and you're worried about your heart and long term health, and feel like you are running out of time: what do you do?
Where do you even start? You want to tone up and lose that extra weight but your knees hurt and you don't want to get injured...again!
And "what about cardio," you think? You know that weight training can help you firm up but do you then need to spend 60 minutes running or doing some other kind of cardio for fat loss, right?
I know all these problems intimately because as a personal trainer I help people every day realize that there is another way. Dare I say a better way!
You see most conventional weight training workouts focus on either building muscle in individial body parts and then relying on cardio to lose fat. So during your 60-90 minute weight training you start with the chest and then the front of the arms, then there's the back, upper and lower, then the back of the arms, then the abs, oh and then the legs, if you have enough time left. And then you spend 1-2 hours a day doing slow cardio on treadmills or stair masters.
Or maybe you split your workouts up so it's back and biceps on a Monday and then chest and triceps on a Tuesday, maybe legs on a Wednesday etc.
The problem with only training body parts is that we just don't have enough time for that unless we are professional bodybuilders, with a goal to create the body of physique athlete.
A modern and more effective way to exercise is to use movement patterns.
Movement patterns use only a handful of movements that copy the way we get around in daily life.
They use hundreds of muscles at a time meaning you can workout your entire body and over 600 muscles in a very short amount of time.
Plus when you use movement pattern training your heart and lungs have to work very hard too, meaning that you can combine both strength and cardio in just one workout.
Using a kettlebell and movement pattern training means that you can activate hundreds of muscles, challenge your cardio and flow from one exercise to the next in only a few minutes.
I want to show you how I train my clients. How we workout together in only 4 minutes. (yes you read that right, 4 minutes!)
How you can change your body, free up your joints from aches and pains, and do it in a safe and progressive way no matter what your level.
Introducing the 6 Week Menopause Bundle:
Women in their 50s and 60s should be training and eating differently. This is FACT! We can no longer fool ourselves that what worked in our 20s or even 30s will work now in delivering body shape change results but we have different struggles with mobility, pain and energy. And well hormones.
We need to find a gentle, slow and steady way to maximise the time spent exercising that delivers results without adding more inflammation, pain or exhaustion that can lead to burnout and injury.
You are looking for a knee and back safe way to introduce yourself to the all important strength training, to counteract the effects of sarcopenia as we age and to balance out the rage of hormones as we move into a new season of our lives- hormonally and physcially.
There are 30+ kettlebell circuits included within this program, each one gets progressively more challenging. The circuits start from 4 minutes and will work your total body including your heart and lungs so there is no need for any additional cardio. Need more? Perform a circuit more than once or pick up a heavier kettlebell.
