Plyometrics 🔥

Plyos aren’t just about jumping higher — they’re about learning to produce and absorb force efficiently.

Here’s a look at some of the plyo progressions we’re using in small group:
• Marching with impact
• Pogos
• Side-to-side pogos
• Alternating forward/backward pogos

Focus on quality movement, quick feet, and control!

Menopause changes your physiology but it doesn’t mean you need to completely reinvent the way you train.

The fundamentals still work. 💪

For women during and after menopause, the priorities become even more important:

🏋️ Progressive resistance training to maintain muscle, strength, bone density, and function
❤️ Aerobic exercise to support cardiovascular health, metabolic health, and VO₂ max
🥩 Adequate protein to help preserve and build lean muscle
🦴 Weight-bearing & impact activity to challenge and strengthen bones
📈 Consistency + progressive overload instead of constantly chasing the “perfect” program

The goal isn’t to train like you’re 25.

It’s to build a strong, capable, resilient body that keeps you doing the things you love for decades to come.

Progress doesn’t require perfection. It requires repetition.

Save this for later and share it with a woman who wants to stay strong through menopause and beyond.

Progress isn’t always seeing a lower number on the scale.

Sometimes it’s lifting 5 lbs heavier than you did last week. Getting an extra rep. Having better control during the descent of a squat. Not feeling as winded during a workout. Or even being more consistent with your workouts than you were a few months ago.

Those things count.

It’s easy to get caught up in the scale and feel like you’re not making progress when the number isn’t changing. But a lot more is happening than that one number can show.

Pay attention to the small wins. They add up!

Agility ladders aren’t just for pro athletes! They’re a great tool for improving movement quality, coordination, and body awareness.

The agility ladder can help develop the skills that support better movement by improving:

• Footwork & coordination
• Balance & body control
• Rhythm & timing
• Reaction speed
• Confidence changing direction

These drills can be added to a dynamic warm-up or be performed at the end of a session for extra conditioning for the brain & body!

Do you include agility work in your training? Why or why not? 👇
