For women over 40, working with the body—not against it—can make all the difference.
If you're a woman over 40 who feels like you're doing battle with your hormones, this email will probably hit close to home.
One of the most common things Method3 Fitness trainers hear:
"I'm doing the exact same things I've always done to feel lean, fit, and healthy, but it's not working."
And if it DOES work, you end up feeling exhausted and sore.
It can feel like your body is being stubborn.
But what if it's actually being strategic... and maybe even trying to protect you?
Here's why: even though the hormonal shifts of midlife are natural and normal, they are still a stress for your system.
Adding more stress from frequent hard workouts, lack of sleep, or restrictive diet changes just makes your body hold on even harder!
You can end up feeling more exhausted, storing fat in new places (hello, belly!), and battling cravings that seem to come from nowhere.
It’s time to work WITH your body, not against it.
For example, when you start improving your sleep, it rebalances your hormones… including cortisol and the hormones affecting cravings and your appetite.
When you eat enough of the right things, your metabolism gets the message that it's safe to let go.
The goal isn't to fight your body into submission, because that doesn’t work.
Instead, it’s time to work WITH your body so that it feels safe enough to change.
What a relief that would be, right?
