I have clients whose grandchildren see them strength training. What a beautiful message you are sending your grandchildren! Children learn to value their health and well-being, and build a healthy self-image by watching you. You are setting an example of what it looks like to care well for spirit, mind, and body. You are showing them that older women can be strong and active. What a legacy!

Perimenopause is a slow trending-down of hormones and creates often unpredictable and fluctuating experiences. Progesterone and estrogen affect every system of the body. Women in the menopause season of life, if you feel like every system of your body is being impacted, you are not crazy... you are correct.

We had a blast in BLAZE tonight! A full studio and 3 people joined us on Zoom from their homes. Way to go, everyone! ♥️

A little bit about me. Once upon a time, I had a style blog for all my thrifted finds. It wasn’t popular or anything, it was a creative outlet for me. I have loved style for as long as I can remember and grew up thrifting, way before it was cool. My Sunday fit: thrifted sweater, thrifted vintage coat, thrifted Doc Martens 💫

I did a meditation practice for my clients this morning at the end of their strength training session. The last blessing in the meditation, I extend to you as well: May we all keep electricity.

Stay safe everyone ♥️

Hulst Jepsen Physical Therapy in Greenville is hosting a free seminar with pelvic floor physical therapists for PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM on Monday, January 15th from 6-8 PM. This is a great opportunity so don't miss it, and please spread the word!

This is a post I just shared in the RISE Together private FB group that I want to share here too. As many of you may want to make changes in your health and fitness in the new year, remember to practice self-compassion:

Sometimes when we get off track with exercise and/or nutrition, we can harshly evaluate ourselves rather than evaluate the behavior. We all have actions or lack of actions we regret in our past. When you notice you are shamingly evaluating yourself take a compassionate pause and evaluate the behavior instead. Shame does not get you closer to creating change, self-compassion does.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. This is another reason why strength training is extremely important for women. "Resistance training not only can improve or maintain muscle mass and strength, but also has favorable physiological and clinical effects on cardiovascular disease and risk factors." -American Heart Association

Don't wait any longer. Make 2024 the year you commit to your self-care and invest in your health. Join the RISE coaching program. Let's RISE Together!

When you thrift the perfect ugly Christmas sweater. Just in case you can’t see it, Santa’s bag says GAINS. Because who doesn’t want gains for Christmas?!

Metabolism changes of menopause:
Changes in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
Changes in fatty acid metabolism
Changes in metabolic health

Let RISE help you implement nutrition, exercise,
and lifestyle strategies to boost your
overall health and improve or mitigate
many of the symptoms.

As you get older it becomes more important to strength train... especially, for women. Make 2024 the year you build more muscle, increase your bone density, and get stronger. Join us and let's RISE Together!

Common changes to the musculoskeletal system during menopause:
loss of muscle mass
loss of bone density
more aches and pains in muscles and joints
slower healing of connective tissues and stiffer connective tissue

Let RISE help you implement nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies to help you improve or mitigate many symptoms and boost your overall health. One of the best investments you can make is investing in your own health! You are worthy of that investment and that investment will positively impact you and your loved ones.

RISE has new followers and I wanted to introduce myself to all our new friends. Hi! My name is Valerie and I am a certified personal trainer, certified group fitness instructor, a 200-hour yoga teacher, a Menopause Coaching Specialist, and the owner of RISE Holistic Fitness. I have been in the fitness field for over 30 years and have taught classes in Belding for over 15 years. Several years ago, I started teaching outdoor classes on my farm and also converted my grandmother's house into a studio. Recently, my son Will who is a 200-hour RYT started teaching yoga for RISE which is an absolute joy. I take a holistic approach to fitness and firmly believe a fitness journey can be a beautiful process of practicing self-love, self-compassion, and grace. You can take RISE practices in person or on Zoom. I would absolutely love to be your coach and walk beside you on your journey of well-being. Reach out if you have any questions and we hope to see you soon!
