Nobody warned us that after 40, the workout isn’t always the hard part... it’s learning how to work with your body instead of against it. 

I can’t lie and say I came to this conclusion willingly, because I’ll admit, it’s been diffucult realizing I’m no longer 20. Whereas I used to walk into the gym, immediately jump into a workout, skip warmups, and move in every which way I so choose — honey, that old way is a no for me dawg! 🤭

Slowly but surely I’ve let go of the mindset that I can train the same way I did in my 20s. 

Also me:  the days of cardio only are long gone, but that’s a different lost for a different day. 

These workouts are about longevity, protecting my joints, building strength, and making sure I can keep showing up for myself for years to come.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that modifying an exercise doesn’t mean you’re doing less... it means you’re training smarter. And that’s exactly what I’m learning from my chiropractor @jernigan_chiro and putting in place with my trainer @itrainusweat 🏋🏽‍♀️

And don’t get it twisted, ‘cause I def learned the hard way that modified workouts are the way to go for my over 40 body, and again, the deets are giving it’s a different post for a different day. 

If you’re in perimenopause or over 40, listen to your body. Strength looks different in every season, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with adjusting so you can keep moving.

Ladies over 40... what’s one thing you’ve had to change about your workouts?
