I had a little health win this week at the Dr's (that's so rare for me).
Talking to the nurse during my annual check, she said:
"I can tell you go to the gym!", when I asked her how she knew? She replied: "I can see it in your blood work!" ๐ฎ
I lift because it helps me with:
๐ Low mood/ anxiety linked to perimenopause
๐ Strengthen my bones
๐ Builds my muscle, so I can keep client's muscles in check. ๐
Nobody talks about the benefits lifting has on the blood (lowering blood pressure, turns surgar into fuel & boosts white cell count). So it feels like a massive added hidden bonus.
So I'm wondering if there are other women I know who lift, either at the gym or at home, and if anyone would be interested in started a chat group?
I thought it could be a place for motivation, accountability, to share the highs, lows, gains, losses and the good recipes for hitting those protein goals.
It could also be a space for those who are looking to get started, and maybe even a buddy group for those looking for company.
I never thought I'd be a "gym bunny", but I can sure relate to the T-shirt that says "I'd rather be at the gym" ๐คฃ
I've spoken to at least 20 clients this month about going to the gym, and I'd love to keep those conversations going. ๐
