Are you approaching or into perimenopause and noting that your body isn’t responding to your regular exercise? Perhaps you hit a plateau in your physical goals or you’re holding onto extra weight around the middle. Whatever your frustration, it’s important to recognize that what may have worked in your 20s is not doing you any favours as your hormones shift.

I used to think that exercise had to be hard, intense, and a full on grind. No pain, no gain. Work until you drop. While that still serves me occasionally, it’s not everyday and ultimately, it’s not for everyone. I love a good sweat session but I also realize that constantly pushing our body to the extreme isn’t healthy. What if working out could not only serve your health but also be something you enjoy doing?
