Why do you exercise, or not? My guest on this episode of the Savor Food and Body Podcast talks about how to improve your fitness after 40 beyond before and after photos. What’s wrong with before and after photos?
If you’re a woman over 40 who struggles with fitness after 40 and motivation to exercise, this episode is for you.
If focusing on exercise to lose weight, isn’t getting you the results you want, it’s time to shift priorities. Learn how to adjust your mindset from exercise for weight loss to moving your body in ways that promote your physical and mental health. Listen here.
If women in their 40s don’t see results from training or exercise plans, they may double down and eat less. This creates a sticky situation that can backfire on fitness goals.

Also, we talk about how to cut through the sports nutrition noise so you can fuel an active lifestyle during perimenopause and menopause.
“A lot of the signs and symptoms of low energy availability are similar and cross over to the bothersome symptoms people experience in the menopause transition.”
