Sometimes I see a new movement, and I just want to do it too! (Like the TRX handstand, lol)

At 57, I love seeing how my body can learn, adapt, and do something new.

You may never want to do something like this, and that’s not the point.

The point is that your body still knows how to learn.

And that matters whether you’re practicing a handstand, a squat, or your first strength workout in a long time.

Here’s behind the scenes of what I was thinking for this new movement.

I started with holds first.

I love starting with holds. It helps your brain and body get on the same page.

Next, I practiced moving my arms. That felt like the easiest next step. It also meant letting go of my 2 handed death grip.

Holy cow! My body wanted to twist when I was only using 1 hand on the TRX.

Next, I went back to a hold to get centered, then I practiced moving my legs.

Resisting the torso twist even more with only 1 leg on the ground. I felt like I was swinging. That was cool feedback (NOT failure)

Start with a hold or the easiest version. Then slowly add the next layer.

Pay attention to your body and your thoughts. Stay curious! And shut down the negative self-talk by asking yourself, “Is that even true?!”

Every step along the way of learning something new is feedback.

I believe that learning something new and moving your body keeps you young.

If you’ve ever finished a workout and felt completely wiped out instead of energized, this episode is for you.

In midlife, the old “push through” approach to fitness can start to backfire. What used to work can leave you feeling drained, sore for days, and struggling to recover.

In this episode, I walk you through a simple way to understand what your body is actually telling you. You’ll learn how to use biofeedback to tell the difference between a workout that supports your strength and one that costs you energy.

If I were starting over today, I would keep it simple.

First, I’d question the thoughts that try to talk me out of it.

Just because your brain says something does not make it true.

Take your thoughts to court and ask yourself, “Is that even true?!”

Next, I’d get outside for morning light.

Better sleep changes everything. More energy, a better mood, and a body that feels more ready to move the next day.

Then I’d lift weights.

Start where you are, learn the basic lifts, and when that feels solid, use weights that feel heavy for you so your muscles and bones get the message to stick around.

Small steps count more than your brain thinks they do. You’re worth it! Cam

Your brain loves to focus on the gap.

💬“You’re not there. This isn’t it. You’ll never get there.”

It sees how far you still have to go and forgets to notice how far you have already come.

That is why I coach women to see that small wins matter.

The gain is small wins along the way that are so easy to brush past, even though they are actually moving you forward.

I like to “close my day” with a list of tiny wins that moved the dial for me. It’s one way I trained my brain to see the gains vs focusing on the gaps.

Will you try it?

Your thoughts are not just floating around in your head. Your body responds to them.

Stressful thoughts can shift cortisol, adrenaline, blood sugar, heart rate, and even how safe or settled your body feels.

Over time, that can shape sleep, cravings, recovery, energy, and mood.

That is why the story running in the background matters.

Most midlife women are not living from facts.

They are living from stories they have heard, repeated, and practiced for years.

You’ve heard them for so long, you treat them like truth instead of seeing them for what they are: just a story.

If the story says midlife means slowing down, getting weaker, or expecting less, the body starts living from that.

That story may not be spoken aloud every day, but it is still running the show.

Hit follow if you’re curious how to live out midlife in a different way than you learned as a kid.

If you believe only perfect workouts count, you won’t give yourself credit for the walk after dinner, the two rounds in your living room, or the 10 min strength one before your coffee gets cold.

That means the workouts that fit your real life are the ones that matter most.

When I gave up perfection, I saw the ‘doesn’t count’ story was costing me more than the workout ever did.

Save this for the next time your brain says short workouts don’t count.
