I help women navigate the Menopause transition, optimising their fitness and vitality in midlife without limitation.

In classes and 121, I encourage women to build strength, incorporate the outdoors into their training and find calm in daily life.

For many women, Perimenopause arrives with a 3am wake up call. It was not on the calendar or by invitation. For some, it comes with a hot sweat. For others a racing mind, jumping form various topics to worry about. As time goes by, the idea of an 8 hour sleep becomes illusive. An already sensitive nervous system will start treating the night like something to survive, not something to rest through. ⤵️ Blog post and a University hospital study registration 》》https://www.christinechapmanfitness.ch/post/the-physical-script-sleep-why-peri-menopause-wrecks-your-sleep-and-what-actually-helps

If strength builds the foundation of menopause and perimenopause health, who builds the house? 🏠
Women are in the gym:
Lifting⬆️;
Pushing ➡️;
Pulling ⬅️;
Squatting ↕️.

Yet still questions are in their heads:
❓Why am I tired all the time?
➰How should I shift my training in my cycle?
😪Why is my sleep disturbed?
⚖️Why have I not lost any weight?

Truth is, there is no one dimensional answer. Wellbeing for women in the Menopause transition is supported my additional lifestyle pillars that support the whole system.

Vitality through peri‑menopause and menopause is found in various foundational activities and habits — yes, strength training being one of them; and a good place to start.

Finding out about the others will add support to the body, not just in activity but also in rest, sleep and it's nourishment. Link in the comments ⤵️✨

The small things make a big difference.
We shortened the session to 30 mins and 40 mins. The girls loved it.

Consistency is key. Not how long you do. Showing up creates the habit. Habit makes Consistency and consistency gets results.

Show up ▶️ Habit ▶️ Consistency 🟰
Goals achieved

Getting on and off a reformer should honestly be it's own Pilates class.

🦵 The workout? Fine.
👣 The footwork? Love it
↩️ The graceful dismount at the end? Absolutely not.

Nothing humbles me faster than trying to get on, in or off. One minute I am feeling elegant and powerful, the next I am a slow-motion, long sighted, middle aged woman, desperate to find solid ground and praying that I remembered to set the springs to an appropriate tension.

Its not what it seems. 2 months in. Having fun and finding reality. ➿️⏭️➿️⏮️

Happy reformer weekend!

There is something new happening on the gym floor. Something I have not seen before.

Women are moving into a new state of fitness awareness and positive energy. They are committing to themselves. After hearing the truth about Menopause and selecting perhaps one aspect, they are looking to discover new strategies that will support them in this new permanent hormonal life stage.

Wise women are building what they actually need for the long term, not just scrolling through trendopause. They are:

♾️ Accepting there is a permanent and final hormonal shift

And:

🎛 Looking to control the controllable

Which could be:
↗️ Weight gain,
🦶 Joint pain
😨 Anxiety
🚫 Disruption to sleep

They are seeking to move in a way that will support them in their 6th, 7th and 8th decades, through mobility, resistance training and recovering properly.

There is a SHIFT. A shift in acceptance. A SHIFT in response. And a SHIFT in expecting.

Swarming in data, the overwhelm can be real. And information without application is useless.

Women be wise and seek out the 5️⃣ steps to establishing control in the controllable, whilst pushing the boundaries of your personal capability.
