I was very unimpressed with her book. It was .99 and I felt like I wasted my money. Harsh but true.
If you are looking for a program geared to menopause take a look at Paula B https://www.youtube.com/c/PahlaBowers - her workouts are free on youtube. Full disclosure alert: I like what she has to say - I read her ebook and found it useful but don't care for her workouts. That said, she is very popular and women who belong to her facebook group report some excellent results. |

I workout/move with random people most days on youtube, I just wondered if I could conserve my energy better and in the right way for health and meno changes if I was following someone geared for those things (maybe?). Sleeping when I should would be a big step in my health I know, but I have been trying to change that for years and can't seem to- its like I was born on the other side of the world or something (i know the Addison's can mess up your body clock, but I am at the extreme now). Anyways thankyou so much for your thoughts!

I'm 55 and still haven't hit menopause. In fact, not even close.
Nothing changes for me unless I tackle the dreaded 4 letter word that starts with D.

I know I was eating too little of a healthy diet and working out too hard/too long/too many days a week for my poor body. It just couldn't do it and I was constantly in pain, joints were sore every day, muscles couldn't recover, and yet the weight just kept packing on even though I was working out more and my anxiety, sleep, constant worry, mind racing, brain fog, you name it!, were off the charts. Once I backed off workouts and really just focused on a healthy diet, water, and managing a new mindset (a daily struggle because I still mentally feel that I should do more), my peri symptoms were easier to deal with. But it's a daily thing, there's no more "set the weekly schedule and strictly adhere to it" for me. I just have a wish list for the week and if it happens it happens, I mostly just try to eat a healthy diet and move or stretch every day now.

Agreeing totally about the working out too long and hard, even tho it has never been to the level of so many on here. I have always stayed at maybe a high beginner level for some reason. Maybe health or maybe just the way I'm made. I like to move, but definately not an athlete or graceful. i get so disheartened but inspired anyway, when I see people with health challenges almost like mine on things like Ninja Warrior, and wonder how they do it.
my sisters and Mom never seemed to have menopause or any of the symptoms. I thought I would be the same, but that emergency Hysterectomy last year sent my body in a spiral I think, with all the other health challenges going on, and even tho I warned them, they weren;t prepared for the Addison's or blood sugar symptoms on the operating table and I just about didn't wake up. I had 3 amazing weeks after that tho that I felt better than I have in years In November, a ton of inflammation started after helping hubby with some pipes over my head (getting them off high truck), and my symptoms came on hard pretty fast with that for some weird reason. I think I was in some kind of stasis til then. Not really worried about diet right now because I have been strict on myself anyway for years and right now eat the only way I can. Which is more minimal than I feel is healthy, but as nutrient dense as I can manage or have the energy to do. Bless y'all. Was mainly wondering about movement programs to help me thru the changes and new pains that I need to be careful with.

I just finished Debra's Get Stronger-Tone and Define. I had drifted away from weight training and even exercise in general and I wanted a program to get me back on track. The program is only available during the the active 3-month time (its not lifetime access). It is pricey, agreed.
It did help me get back to weight training. It seems geared to beginners and I think anyone here would be bored with it; I did get bored with the last month and went back to my usual variety of workouts. But it did help me get back on track. The workouts are about 30 minutes. They are exercises that we all know. And Debra doesn't keep count, which I know will drive a lot of folks nuts. I don't regret the purchase at all, but won't be signing up again. I'm happy to be engaged in strength training again, though!
