🏋️‍♀️ Why Women 40+ NEED Squats in Their Life
The squat isn’t just an exercise — it’s a foundation movement for strength, longevity, and confidence 💪✨

✨ 3 Major Benefits of Squatting After 40:
✅ Strengthens glutes, legs & core
✅ Builds and protects bone density - boosts fat loss
✅ Supports joint health and balance /fall prevention

BUT...
🧠 Mobility Comes FIRST (Before Adding Weight) - here's why:
Before loading a squat, your body needs the ability to move well — not just move heavy.

✔️ Hip mobility allows proper depth without knee or low-back strain
✔️ Ankle mobility keeps your heels grounded and knees safe
✔️ Thoracic mobility helps maintain an upright chest
✔️ Good mobility = better form, better muscle activation, fewer aches

👉 Mobility first = strength that lasts.

LEARN HOW TO DO THIS MOVE AND ALLLL THE MOVES IN MY STRONGER THAN MENOPAUSE PROGRAM - 18 FULL LENGTH VIDEOS, 30+ PAGE EGUIDE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY AFTER 40 (INCLUDES RECIPES, WORKOUTS ETC!) AND INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS TO BOOT! COMMENT "MENOPAUSE" AND I'LL GET YOU THE LINK!

🔽 How to Set Up a Solid Squat
✔️ Feet shoulder-width apart
✔️ Toes slightly turned out
✔️ Core gently braced (like zipping up snug jeans)
✔️ Chest tall, shoulders relaxed

🔁 How to Perform the Squat
1️⃣ Sit hips back like you’re reaching for a chair
2️⃣ Knees track over toes
3️⃣ Lower only as far as you can with control
4️⃣ Drive through heels to stand
5️⃣ Squeeze glutes at the top (no knee lockout)

🕒 Start with 2–3 sets of 8–12 reps
💡 Master bodyweight first — then add load with confidence

Ummm yes, when you’ve been eating like you’re 20 years old and not prioritizing movement.
*gasp!*
It’s ok to relax a little, but boy I reeeeally relaxed.
I feel it in my body (bloaty, not sleeping well and my clothes are tight)
In my joints. Oh lord the joints are aching!
And in my mind. Guilt consumes me - leftover from years of eating my emotions - and even feeling a little bummed out. Depressed.
THE GUT AMD BRAIN ARE
CONNECTED YALL. 🤔🫣
Foods that don’t lend to wellness cause all kinds of probs - and not just in your waistline.

When Ev and I are goofy with each other, stress melts and connection gets deeper without even trying. We're goofy A LOT.
It's good for you.

🎯 Top 3 Reasons Women Skip the Weights — and What’s Really Up

1. Feeling intimidated, out of place — gym culture ain’t always welcoming
Many women report feeling self-conscious or unwelcome in the free-weight/weights area of the gym. It often feels like a “boys’ club,” where women may worry about being judged, stared at, or not fitting in.
Intimidation comes from fear of looking “inexperienced” or “clumsy,” especially in a space dominated by men.
Reality check: You don’t owe anyone gym-approval — your body, your rules. The weight room is for you too. 💪

2. Lack of knowledge or confidence — “I don’t even know where to start”
Studies show women are much more likely than men to skip free weights because they’re unsure how to handle them.
Lack of coaching, guidance, or a clear routine holds them back.
Reality check: Everyone starts somewhere. Learning technique and getting guidance can flip the script — let the weights build your strength, not your doubts. 🏋️‍♀️

3. Social stigma & myths around femininity and “bulkiness”
Many women say they avoid strength training because of the fear of getting “too muscular,” “bulky,” or “looking masculine.”
Reality check: Girl — that bulky myth? False. Lifting doesn’t automatically turn you into She-Hulk. What it does do: builds strength and bone density, sculpts muscles, and helps your body serve you better. 🌟

✨ Real Talk: What the Research Says
A 2021 systematic review of studies on women & strength training found that gender-based stigma and negative comments or discouragement are among the most common reasons women avoid or abandon weight training.

And though many women know the benefits of resistance training, the lack of knowledge about proper technique and safe use of equipment remains a major hurdle.

Cold, flu, sinus infections 🤧... they’re all making the rounds, so let’s talk about 5 simple, natural ways to keep your immune system strong and ready:

1. Prioritize Sleep 😴
7–9 hours allows your body to repair, reduce inflammation, and activate immune cells. Your pillow is a secret superhero—use it!

2. Load Up on Vitamin C–Rich Foods 🍊 and GET OUTSIDE!
Citrus, bell peppers, kiwi, berries, broccoli. Add them daily to help your body fight off invaders and recover faster. Partnering that with some sunlight makes your immune system SHINE!

3. Stay Hydrated 💧
Think of water as your body’s “detox highway.” It keeps mucus thin, improves digestion, and supports lymphatic flow—major for immunity.

4. Move Your Body Daily 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
Moderate exercise boosts immune function and reduces stress hormones. A brisk walk, quick strength session, or gentle yoga counts!

5. Manage Stress Like It’s Your Job 🧘‍♀️
Chronic stress weakens the immune system. Try breath work, journaling, or even a 10-minute walk outside to reset your nervous system.

✨ Want weekly guidance, simple routines, and immune–friendly habits built just for women 40+? Join me inside Slay the Day! – Over 40 Fit & Fabulous!
You don’t have to guess your way through this season—let’s thrive through it together. 💪💖

Let’s get one thing straight — being sore isn’t the goal. Getting stronger is. 💪

We’ve all had those days after a tough workout where walking up the stairs feels like a leg-day crime scene 😅 — and sure, that soreness can make you feel like you crushed it.
But here’s the truth: soreness ≠ success.

Soreness simply means your body experienced a new stimulus — not necessarily that you trained better or harder.
As you get stronger (and smarter about your recovery), your body becomes more efficient. You might not feel wrecked afterward, but you’re still building lean muscle, protecting your bones, and boosting your metabolism. 🔥

Here’s what really matters instead:
✅ Progressive overload (gradually lifting heavier or moving with more control)
✅ Proper form and muscle engagement
✅ Consistency over time
✅ Recovery that supports growth

If you’re showing up, lifting with intention, and fueling your body — you are working hard enough.
No soreness required. 😉

Ready to train smarter, not just harder? Join me inside Stronger Than Menopause — we build strength, not soreness, and results that last. 💪
