Menopause journey via CrossFit 😊

I was 43 when I started CrossFit training and around this time my first symptoms of perimenopause began.

During this phase a woman’s body starts changing in many ways, the list of symptoms experienced varies in all women to the degree in which they feel the effects impact their daily life.

My personal experience hasn’t been easy but one thing I’m grateful I found right at the beginning is looking after myself the best way possible.

CrossFit training brought an increase in muscle mass through a time my body was trying to reduce it.

Good nutrition has supported that and reduced the body fat and although my body weight is a little higher over the last 3-4 years my health check at the doctors recently come back with a 1-2% chance of developing health risks and I feel this is mainly due to the priority of health first.

Ladies if you are struggling through this delightful phase in life and want advice on training, sign up for our classes or contact me for personal training sessions or nutrition advice.

We are women and we can’t stop time and hormones but we can certainly take control of the things we want to and enjoy feeling stronger, fitter and healthier in our 40’s, 50’s and beyond💪🏻

“Women are not small men” a phrase used by Stacy Sims which I love 🥰 and a phrase that highlights the lack of scienced backed research around advice for women around nutrition and training.

Research in the fitness and nutrition has historically been based on male data.

Research on women has not kept pace with the rise in numbers of women who participate in sports and fitness, and this affects how we in the nutrition and fitness industry advise with an evidence-informed approach when working with women wanting to improve performance, body composition and wellbeing.

Two significant areas to be considered are:

Hormonal Fluctuations:
 Women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their menstrual cycle and lifecycle (menopause), which can impact their energy expenditure, muscle building, and recovery.  
Body composition:
 Women typically have different body fat distribution, muscle mass, and bone density compared to men, influencing their nutritional needs.  
With applying the same nutritional and training advice to a woman based on science backed research carried out on mostly men, this could lead to less than optimal results.

Things are starting to move forward with this and I’ve been trying to dig a little bit deeper into how to support both my male and female clients equally, hopefully research around women and nutrition and fitness will develop further

When eating in a calorie deficit it’s usually due to a weight-loss goal. Weight is many things our body is made up of and when we see this number change or even go down clothing sizes, we actually have no idea what we have lost, fat, muscle or water.

It’s important to understand eating in a very low calorie deficit can have an impact on a few things and not all positive for the goal of fat loss.

Weight lost rapidly due to dramatic decrease in calories will often result in muscle loss leaving us with sagging skin on our faces and body, reduction in energy, lack of strength, sleep disruptions, but ironically the goal of actually losing fat decreases in chance.

This is due to the adaptation of our metabolic rate when muscle mass decreases. Our muscles are the driving force for our metabolism (the body’s energy burning system).

Best advice if you feel weightloss is essential or even just desirable for you.

Get advice on supporting your body with nutrition choices, particularly your protein intake. Protein helps our body build and repair muscle.

Make sure you strength train to try to maintain muscle mass, this again requires fuelled training to prevent burning muscle for fuel.

Try to avoid pushing calories too low to speed things along, this can result in your body not adapting to new calorie intake and even leave you with sagging skin after all your efforts due again to muscle loss.

If you are currently on a strict low calorie diet or assisted weight loss plan without proper understanding of how fast weight loss can effect your body try to get guidance on how to support your body in the best way.

When asked how to successfully make changes that last, the answer is consistency.

Make a list of things to bring into your daily life, at first it will feel hard work, but eventually this will just become how things are.

Do you want to make changes to your body composition but don’t want to change what you are currently doing?

Giving up less healthy food choices too hard? Too boring?

You know what chocolate tastes like, you know how drinking alcohol feels, it’s the dopamine response you are seeking not the novelty of eating or drinking something you have been having for years.

Change is hard, consistency works, but everyone’s lifestyle is different and that why I try to understand what challenges you on the way to change.

Training 4-5 times a week and not getting results you want?

Does your nutrition need addressing? It’s the hardest part of change due to habitual eating, emotionally driven food choices, food balance for training or body composition can be so hard to judge.

A great addition to your current training can be Personal training sessions programmed to suit your goals. Either skill based to support your class training, body building to help build a summer body, strength training and Olympic Lifting to become a more powerfully strong human 💪🏻 or for those who love functional fitness training but can’t get to classes.
