3 tips to stay active in perimenopause

11/11/2025

You want a quick full-body workout in 20 minutes.......here is a hormone-supportive workout designed specifically with perimenopausal women in mind. Focus on strength, muscle preservation, bone density, metabolism, and stress reduction - keeping cortisol manageable.

I know you're busy, you have time restraints - career, kids/young adults, older parents to look after, and a house to keep.

These quick workouts make exercise realistic & repeatable.

Here's a 7 exercise routine....no need for a gym, easy to do at home with dumbells or kettlebells.

Use a weight that is challenging for maximum of 12 reps.

1. Overhead march
2. Kneeling quad push & press
3. Kneeling arnold press
4. Sumo squat hold & row
5. Close stance RDL
6. Kneeling shoulder press to tricep kickback
7. Sumo squat & hammer cleans

I plan to bring you more of these workouts to provide a strategy, not a compromise 🏋‍♀️

L3 Menopause Practitioner Course ☑️👩‍🎓

A couple of weeks ago we were proud to host our first YMCA Menopause Practitioner Course here in Penicuik - a powerful reminder of just how vital this topic is for everyone.

The course explored the physiological and hormonal changes of menopause, as well as the wider mental, emotional, and physical impacts. It highlighted how essential it is for all health and fitness professionals — and indeed anyone who supports, lives, or works alongside women, to understand this stage of life.

Menopause education isn’t niche, it’s a crucial part of health awareness. By equipping more practitioners with evidence-based knowledge, we can help foster a more informed and supportive environment for women everywhere.

Next course is running in January, with applications closing toward the end of this year, for details, click the link or get in touch:

At 50, I’ve learned that health isn’t about restriction — it’s about reconnection.

Here are 5 things you can do TODAY to feel stronger, calmer, and more in control of your body again

1️⃣ Eat real food that makes you feel good
2️⃣ Move your body with joy, not punishment
3️⃣ Lift weights — it’s the ultimate age-reverser
4️⃣ Manage stress like your health depends on it (because it does!)
5️⃣ Hydrate — it’s not just about your skin, it’s about your hormones

Ready to start your own midlife health reset?
I have 1 space opened up on a Monday morning and 1 space on a Thursday morning.

It’s the random anxiety that hits out of nowhere.

It’s feeling wired at night and exhausted by 2 p.m.

It’s changes in your body that don’t respond to the “old tricks.” You know, the ones you could always rely on, in your 30's.

You’re not imagining it — your hormones really are shifting, and your body is asking for a different approach.
Perimenopause isn’t the end of feeling good — it’s the beginning of understanding what your body truly needs. It is the start of your menopause journey.

With the right movement, nutrition, and recovery strategies, you can feel strong, focused, and vibrant through this phase — and beyond.

If you are ready to reclaim your life, get in touch. I'm here to help ❤️

Feeling that autumn energy dip?

Now that the clocks have been turned back and we move into the cooler, darker months, it’s completely normal to feel your energy shift. The days are shorter, sunlight exposure drops, and our natural rhythms begin to slow down. Add in hormonal fluctuations (hello, perimenopause 👋), and that afternoon slump can feel even stronger.

But the good news is that your body isn’t broken, it’s just adapting. Here's what we need to do;

✨ Nourish more deeply
✨ Rest a little extra
✨ Move in ways that energise, not deplete
✨ Focus on steady routines that support hormone balance and mood

💙 Try this: step outside for 10 minutes of morning light, a brisk walk perhaps, add plenty of nourishing foods like root veggies and warm soups (I love cold, dark days for this) and keep your movement consistent — even if it’s shorter or a little gentler than usual.

Your energy will return 💛 — especially when you work with your body, not against it.

You've got this 😍
