Join us for this 28-day challenge to take on menopause and build your muscle! Resistance training and cardio will help you manage your weight and hormones, no question. It’s easy to avoid which is why we are doing this challenge together! How you move and what you eat has never been so important as it is in this season of life.
You will be doing three days of strength, one day of cardio, and one day of yoga each week. That allows for two full days of rest to let your muscles and joints recover. If you are super sore from the workouts, back off a little and take an extra day of rest. If you are feeling great, grab a heavier pair of dumbbells for the next workout. We are all about progress, not perfection! You can stop the decrease of muscle mass as long as you are actively working to replace it!

Perimenopause and menopause are associated with a natural decline in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. As your hormones are fluctuating and ultimately decreasing, that can play games with your metabolism. It may also cause bone density loss, muscle mass decrease, and make it harder to lose weight. Then, throw in the night sweats, sleep issues, and brain fog due to fluctuating hormones—seriously, it isn’t even fair?
Here’s the good news. It doesn’t have to be a horrible time of life. As a matter fact, getting older is empowering, fills you with wisdom, and opens a whole new chapter of life. If you understand the changes that are happening in your body and if you take the steps to combat the symptoms, you can feel great and keep off the extra weight!
Your daily health habits are going to be the key to helping you manage any weight gain during this time. Consistency is the magic word!

What you eat matters! Eating protein at every meal will keep you fuller longer and support your body in repairing and building muscle. Eat more real food, including greens, fruits, and veggies. It's important to become more acutely aware of what you are eating as you age.
Get rid of all of the processed stuff—chemicals, food coloring, additives, and excess sugars. It screws with your hormones! With fluctuating hormones already in the works, eating unhealthy foods will cause inflammation and amplify your menopausal symptoms. Also, make sure to drink lots of water and get plenty of vitamins B, C, D, Omega 3, and magnesium.
