7 Day Kickstarter – Thrive in your 40s and Beyond!

What it includes & What you Need – One week of daily emails including nutrition ideas from Gen Hallam (Nutrition Coach), pre recorded movement sessions with me, plus lifestyle tips. This information will be accessible to you forever so you can build, progress and take away the small suggestions that fit into your life! You can then revisit, update and consolidate throughout the year.

The movement sessions include 2 x strength (20 minute each) and 1 x HIIT (20 minute), plus an optional interval outline, and online yoga session. All are designed to start where you are, so can initially be done without any equipment (you will need a mat/comfortable clothes and trainers).

When – The first Monday of every month and then daily that week. All classes are pre recorded and designed to fit into your routine.

Cost – The cost is £45 for the week – and you get access to the information forever.

More info and Sign Up – Sign up here or contact me hello@40swomanandbeyond with any further questions. NB A PAR Q health questionnaire which consists of 7 simple questions will need to be completed before you begin to check that there are no contra indications. This programme is not designed for anyone with eating disorders or specific physical issues.

 

The 40s Woman & Beyond Thrive in 3

As we get older traditional methods of exercise are not adequate for maintaining or improving our bone, muscle or overall body composition. And these are the three that are most affected by our changing hormones. Instead, regardless of whether we take HRT or not, we need to include movement that provides the impetus our sex hormones used to – affecting everything from insulin sensitivity to lean muscle mass growth linked to belly fat and type 2 diabetes. But we also need to allow our bodies to recover and respond to this movement stress.

We need to include Variety, Challenge and Rest.

The 40s W&B Monthly Movement Programme will include weekly online YouTube videos, 121 support and planning covering the 4 key basis needed at this age – Intensity, Strength, Recovery– plus monthly guest speakers on nutrition & mobility.

When: Weekly programme to be done in your own time.  For more info and to book see here

Cost: £120 per month

Reviews from Previous Events:

A wonderful presentation that all women in their 40s (and more) should attend…”

“With so much health and fitness information out there it is hugely helpful to get excellent health information and practical advice tailored specifically to women my age. This is an essential workshop for the 40 something women. Highly recommend”

“Every morning I take my tea and a crumpet outside, sit in a garden chair and drink my tea like a mad old lady. There are many other aspects of the 40s Woman course which resonated and I have started to incorporate, but this one action has been a life changer”

Anna I just wanted to say thanks for a really enjoyable and interesting evening. It was relatable, engaging and I learnt loads. Also the discussion within and being physically in a group is in itself so supportive – part of the feelings of being squashed by all these changes is certainly that you are generally alone when you reflect on them, so doing so together casts a whole new light on it”
