Introducing…She Lifts Over 40!!
A personalized fitness coaching experience designed to give you the CONFIDENCE and KNOWLEDGE you need to safely and effectively incorporate strength training into your exercise routine, to help decrease body fat, build muscle tone, balance hormones, and improve mobility, giving you the toned, lean and fit over 40 look you desire.
In perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause our muscles begin to progressively degenerate, aka Sarcopenia. This happens when our bodies begin to produce less of the amount of proteins our muscles need to grow, which causes our muscle cells to get smaller – which leads to loss of muscle tone and firmness, the appearance of cellulite, and a decrease in metabolism causing weight gain.
In addition, we begin to experience a change in certain hormones — like testosterone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) — which affects our muscle fibers, and can lead to muscle weakness, poor balance, and a loss of stamina.
The good news is that there are several ways to prevent this from happening.
The BEST way, no matter your age, is STRENGTH TRAINING, in particular Progressive Resistance Training (PRT).
With PRT, you gradually increase your workout volume—weight, reps, and sets—as your strength and endurance improve. This constant challenging builds muscle and keeps you from plateauing.
When it comes to weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight as we age, we need to incorporate a MINDSET SHIFT here towards prioritizing strength training.
The focus needs to change from weight loss to fat loss, and towards an increase in lean muscle mass.
Often when women are trying to lose weight they restrict calories and over exercise with cardio. This often results in increased levels of stress hormones, inflammation and muscle loss. Most often when women lose weight quickly they are losing muscle mass and water. Long term this is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of the goal you should have.
If your goal is weight loss, and healthy weight management in your 40, 50’s, and beyond your focus should be on Muscle Development and Prevention.
Weight training exercise is the key to building lean muscle mass and changing the shape of your body as you age.
Cardio is NOT going to cut your waistline, despite what you may have been told in the past.
Incorporating strength training into your weekly exercise routine a few days a week even three, 30 minute sessions can have a profound impact on your metabolism, hormonal health, and weight loss, giving you the toned, lean and fit over 40 look you desire.

Helping them build a healthy foundation to enjoy life-long weight loss success.
My mission is to empower you with the education you need to embrace tangible, practical and powerful daily habits and routines so that you can be healthier, happier and more productive than you ever thought was possible.
I believe that when you make wellness and loving self-care a priority, it creates a ripple effect of positivity that benefits all areas of your life (ie. family, relationships, career, etc.).
I am deeply committed to teaching you how you CAN transform your body, your health and your life in a way that is BOTH successful and sustainable.
