Perimenopause: The Buzzword Everyone's Talking About
If you're in your 40s... or anywhere close to your 40s in either direction... you've probably heard the word perimenopause tossed around more often than sprinkles on a donut.
But what the hell does it actually mean?
And more importantly...
How are you supposed to train for it?
One of the most common pieces of advice you'll hear is:
"Lift heavy."
And I wholeheartedly agree.
Strength training is one of the best things you can do to support your metabolism, maintain muscle mass, support bone density, improve insulin sensitivity, and feel strong as you move through perimenopause and beyond.
But here's the part that often gets skipped...
If you can't properly support the weights you're lifting, if your breathing mechanics are off, if your core and pelvic floor aren't functioning well, or if your posture and alignment are working against you, loading more weight on top of that can leave you feeling frustrated, beat up, and wondering why everything hurts.
So yes.
Train heavy.
But first, create a foundation that can support heavy training.
That's exactly why I created Ignite Core.
This 4-week challenge, starting on the 1st of every month, is designed to help you:
✔ Improve breathing mechanics
✔ Connect with your core and pelvic floor
✔ Improve posture and alignment
✔ Build functional strength
✔ Progressively overload your system safely
✔ Create a foundation for real strength
Because strength isn't just about how much weight you can lift.
It's about how well your body can support the life you want to live.
And that starts from the inside out.
Ready to stop flailing and start building a stronger foundation? Join the next Ignite Core Challenge and start on the 1st.
