MOVE WELL - Pilates & Movement videos

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 3-4x’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)

In the list provided (hover over the title) you’ll find there is a crossover of foods that can help support you through menopause. They offer key nutrients for your body and should be included in your meals every week.

Eating well for a changing body is very important, but just as important is how you 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)
  • Eat in a calm environment – your body doesn’t digest food well when it’s wound up emotionally and it has a hard time having that first of the day bowel movement if you’re not in a parasympathetic state of being!

LIVE WELL - 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
