Setting up your fitness and movement goals can be helpful before you start doing classes, so make use of this mini workbook we created to help track your progress! Aim to move your body daily and train your body 2-3x’s per week.
What to keep in mind when doing your movement live class or video:
- Avoid anything that causes you pain or discomfort
- Dress appropriately for your class
- Invest in basic props like a yoga mat, band and light hand weights
- Make sure to breathe and listen to the cues given
- Have fun – that’s the whole point of doing classes (even if you can’t be there live in person)

Eating well for an ever changing hormonal body is very important, but just as important is the how we eat. Here are a few helpful tips to support you (just start with one then add in another one as you’re ready):
- Make sure to eat a healthy, well balanced diet, which means your plate should be full of colour with green and red accenting your meal
- Eat regularly throughout the day – this is important to maintain the balance of your blood sugar which goes unchecked when your hormones change
- Slow down and don’t overeat (I actually eat with small utensils which helps slow me down)
Conversations & Resources
Our home and lifestyle can have profound affects on our health as we transition into menopause, so take some steps to clean your environment and create healthy habits in your day. Set goals in your mini workbook here. Here are some key areas to focus on (making little changes slowly can really help!)
- Our hormones can really be impacted by chemicals and artificial scents, so reduce your household impact and find better alternatives – check out our blog post about this! Toxic products in your home
- Set good health habits such as a sleeping schedule to ensure you are getting restorative sleep
- Communicate and stay active within your community of friends
