Thrive Women Fitness Videos

Aging is not a choice, thriving is! So proud of my client @debbyfryw, who worked with me to change her training, nutrition, and hormonal support this year to optimize her race performance as a menopausal woman. She’ll complete her 20th Ironman at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii in 2025. Was it easy? No. Debby went “all in” and here’s how she did it and how you can, too… 1. Eat WAY more protein. 2. Consistent and heavy strength training. 3. Sprint Interval Training every week. 4. MINDSET - none of the above listed improvements can happen without believing in yourself and the process. Sure, we all have doubts, that’s normal. But you CHOOSE to let them paralyze you or to use it as fuel for the fire - so light it up! Whether you’re training for an Ironman or focusing on healthier happier years to come - all of these principles apply. Need help? Send me a DM. It’s never too late to THRIVE! #ironmantraining #menopausefitness #menopause #womensfitnessover40

Add load to your squats by holding a plate, dumbbell, or kettlebell on chest BUT… follow the form cues as it can be even easier to have improper form (rounded back) when you do squats this way. Don’t shy away from this method - just use it as a crucial reminder to engage your shoulder blades. Imagine pulling the weight apart across your chest as you squat. #womensfitnessover40 #perimenopausefitness #womensfitness #menopausefitness

Fun workout videos showing you all the fancy variations on squats are great… if you first practice the fundamentals. Doing squats with poor form will lead to injury and sideline you from one of the BEST heavy lifting exercises for perimenopausal and menopausal women. Let me know if you have any questions as I’m happy to dig deeper into this important exercise. #womensfitness #womensfitnessover40 #perimenopausefitness #menopausefitness

Beyond proud my amazing client @debbyfryw. She has spent 2024 dialing in her training and nutrition based on the THRIVE Women principles and has gotten her leanest and fittest in years… at the age of 60. It all starts with mindset - believing you can still get better with age!

70% of women will experience musculoskeletal symptoms, such as bone loss, muscle loss, and some experiencing debilitating pain. Lift heavy weights at least 3 to 4 times per week, eat more protein - 1g per pound of ideal bodyweight, and get your bone building, micro nutrients - especially vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2.

Perfect doesn’t exist. There is no perfect exercise & no perfect time. Be consistent to get results. That doesn’t mean choosing the hardest exercise you can or even working out every day. It just means doing something good for yourself every day. A leisure walk or stretching qualifies as daily consistency in your overall workout program. Focus on big picture and what you can get done that day not what you can’t.

Poor sleep + stress = lack of motivation. It happens at every age, but in perimenopause I feel it more than ever before. . That’s why I find it extremely helpful to have an accountability partner. And I’m not alone. Most women improve consistency by working out with friends, a trainer, or a class. If you haven’t tapped into the power of shared workouts, give one (or all) of these tips a try: 1. Sign up for a class for 1 month. It’s the perfect amount of time to gain fitness and establish if you enjoy it enough to keep going. 2. Hire a personal trainer to help you organize your weekly routine as well as give you one-on-one workouts. A trainer is great, but going 1-2x/week needs to be supplemented with other exercise to improve cardiovascular endurance, mobility, power, coordination, and balance. Things like pickleball, yoga, swimming, stretching, and hiking. 3. Set a goal 1 month from now with measurable results. For instance, if you always run 3 miles, set a goal to run 5. If you can’t lift more than 10 lb for your bicep curls, set a goal to lift 15 lb . Feel free to share your favorite tip, too!

Exercise the #1 most important factor to increase your quant & quality of life. We GET to do it - ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Women over 40 need more than just long endurance cardio. We need more than HIiT training. We need SIT - sprint interval training - to reduce our symptoms fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, body fat gain, muscle loss, and risk of heart disease and metabolic disease. #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitover60 #fitover50women #fitnessover40 #fitnessover50 #fitnessover60 #fitat40 #fitat50 #menopausefitness #perimenopausefitness #perimenopausehealth #menopausehealth #fitnesstipsforwomen #womensfitness #womensfitnessmotivation #fitnessmotivation #exercisemotivation #workoutmotivation #womensfitness #womensfitnesscoach #personaltrainerforwomen #thrivewomen #hiit #hiitworkout #hiittraining
