4 things midlife women need to know to exercise consistently
If you want to exercise consistently in midlife, you have to learn these xx important things…
🧘🏼 Learn how to move with your body’s rhythms.
Our energy fluctuates so much in midlife. I suggest an ‘energy check in’ before each workout and learning how to adapt according to your energy on that day.
🐢 Be prepared to slow things down sometimes.
I think this is one of the hardest things to do if you love your exercise or, if like me, it’s an important tool for supporting tour mental health. But it’s super important if you’re burning out. Slowing things down is a key part to staying consistent.
📋 Be sure to consider the commitments and demands in your life and measure your output accordingly.
If you’re going through a hectic time in your life, measure how much energy you need to fulfil your responsibilities. Remember, exercise is a stress on your body and if your life is particularly stressful right now, balancing that with some ‘working in’ instead of working out could really benefit you.
🐎 Get back on that (metaphorical) horse as soon as the tricky times pass! Don’t wait for a Monday, or until after your holiday or that girls weekend, cash in on that energy NOW! Who knows how long it will last 🤪
Learning how to adapt, flex and move consistently through midlife will prevent the constant falling on and off the wagon.
🗓️ No more Day 1
