Optimal health and fitness for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond - a quick overview of 10 essential steps to maintain vitality and excellent form!

The journey towards menopause often begins in our 40s, and sometimes even in our 30s.
However, the 50s can be a challenging period for many women.

This list doesn’t claim to cover everything - there are other elements that could be included, and a high degree of customization is necessary.

However, I believe that following the suggestions on this list could enhance the health, wellbeing, productivity, and ease of navigating personal and professional life for all women over 40 - so let’s begin here!

If you find yourself struggling, don’t hesitate to seek help to ease your transition.
Remember, you should never settle for anything less than feeling energetic and being in great shape!

And if any of you has more complex questions, please feel free to reach out via private message :)

Have a great day ☀

One of the main issues when it comes about weight loss is a …wrong perception, affecting women especially in the second spring of their life.

While for long years slim photo-models set – and unfortunately still do – the main example for beauty (in many cases secretly facing terrible eating disorders), a form of resistance formed, as a protection mechanism:
“Fat is also beautiful” and
“It doesn’t matter if I’m fat”.

While fat-shaming and discrimination should not happen and always be sanctioned when they still do, the key words that got messed up are:
fat - slim / healthy / beautiful

Nowadays we know it:
- Being overweight is NOT healthy, even when beautiful.
- Being too skinny is NOT healthy either, even if beautiful.

The esthetics don't count here... but let's be honest, the esthetics count for everyone.

Most women I meet as a coach secretly hope to be slim (or even very slim), and would many times be ready to follow extreme regimens or diets to reach that goal even if very temporary – most of them, after years of trying, realized that after a period of very restrictive eating they will, eventually, still want to have an ice-cream, a cocktail or a slice of pizza etc.
None of them really ever dreams of a nice plate of veggies, quinoa and fish, for example, after a restrictive diet : )))

And yet, the long term healthy choice is rather ... yummy balance.
We all want to enjoy every bite, not feel restricted, remain healthy and in shape!
The main difficulty sits in accepting that the "balance" changes every day, in function of our activity levels and in function of our female changing hormones – making the perimenopause a more tricky period for losing weight healthily.

And sisters... there’s hope 🌻
Being in great shape in peri- and post- menopausal years is possible, just don't give up that thought!!
You can be fit, energetic, healthy - and a really beautiful version of yourself!
You'll need a bit of patience, consistent behavior, love for every stage you're crossing, each day ❤️
And yes - taking it seriously, but not so seriously, as losing weight should never become an extra stress in your day!

If you struggle or feel stuck with losing weight, please just reach out - I'm here for all questions!

…And finally, it's here!!!

FIT JOY Ladies-only starts its journey today, with a first chapter on Physical Training.
A journey that aims to make women after 40yo stronger and healthier - to just help them shine!

Health IS Power - a superpower actually, that we need in order to make everything else possible as women - as moms, as leaders, as professionals at any level.
We need and deserve to feel good in our bodies, fit, strong, attractive - and training along our female bodies essential needs is crucial.

We have complicated hormonal systems and our bodies respond to different rules and approaches than men - for our physical training, for the food we chose, for how we tackle stress management.
This is a topic that often gets overlooked, and we need to raise more awareness and education on this - for ourselves, and for our daughters, moms, sisters and friends.

From my heart to yours ❤️, and from everything that I learned in many years of helping women get in great shape - may this program help you get stronger and energized!
