Boring but sooo essential. And without good sleep everything else is just sooo much harder. I discuss the sleep issues 40+ women face and why and share tips on how to improve your quality of sleep. 2️⃣ Steps:  We are too sedentary and it's killing our bodies. I share how many steps you should be aiming for (no, the magic number is not 10 000), and tips on how to get there. 3️⃣ Strength training: Probably no big surprise to anyone who has followed me that strength training is going to be on my list of top things to do. The benefits are real! (check out episode #2 for more about the benefits)4️⃣ Protein: I discuss the benefits, how much protein to aim for, and share my strategy for getting in enough protein in the day.#fitafter40 #podcastforwomen #protein #10000steps #strongafter40 #strongafter50 #getbettersleep #menopausesleep #hrt #melatonin #sleepissues #sleepbetter #sleeptips #postmenopausefitness  #gettingintoshape #fitnessmood #feelhealthier #onlinehealthcoach #workoutprogram #midlifewomen #fitover50 #thisis51 #agepositive #over50andfabulous #healthylifestyle #weightraining #aginggracefully #weighttraining101 #gettingintoshape #personaltrainerforwomen #ptforwomen #onlinefitnesscoach #menopausecoach #perimenopause #menopauseSupport the Show.MAY SPECIALS!! 💫NEW: If you've been lifting and want an effective program to follow, check out my group membership >> (special offer for early joiners!) 40% off my Learn to Lift programs >> Ready to start lifting weights?
