40+ Fitness: Weight training, fat loss & fitness tips for Women in perimenopause & menopause

Are you tired of New Year's resolutions that don’t stick?
In this episode, I’m sharing six realistic and sustainable New Year's resolutions that will help you improve your fitness, health, and overall well-being—without falling into the trap of quick-fix diets or juice cleanses.

These resolutions are tailored to work with your body at this stage of life, focusing on lifestyle changes that are practical, achievable, and designed to help you thrive in perimenopause and beyond.

Here are the 6 resolutions I discuss:

1. Get better sleep
2. Increase your daily movement
3. Start strength training at least twice a week
4. Eat more protein
5. Reduce your stress
6. Add sprint interval training to your routine

Tune in to hear why each one is so important and how to make these lifestyle changes work for you.

No juice cleanses, no crash diets—just realistic habits to help you build a strong, healthy, and vibrant body for the decades ahead.
