Fitness Mama

No make up, no lighting, hair needs to be washed… and yet, someone took the time to build me up. Trust me, doesn’t happen that often in this industry. It cost nothing to be genuinely sweet - she’s reminded me to remember to always find the beauty ❤️

Oh I eat intuitively… how’s that going for you? Sure, if your muscle mass is high, your adrenals are not cooked, your cortisol is healthy, your visceral fat is low, you sleep well, you’re not anxious, and you’re not carrying more subcutaneous fat (the fat that isn’t dangerous) than you want to, then scroll on by.

However, this is NOT most women once they hit 40. I know because this is who I coach day in, day out.

The things you got away with before, lack of sleep, booze, fasting or starving for long periods of time, processed food, now feel like they might kill you… and slowly, they probably are.

We have to cut through the bs of the wellness industry that promotes “intuition” which is not based in discipline or functional human behaviour.

Your feelings are not your intuition. And guess what, intuition has been dumbed down by the modern world to a place where we convince ourselves that our conditioning and filters are our truth 🙄

The truth is that wisdom is collective, and intuitive wisdom is cultivated. Hurt people hurt people. Abused people do not recognise abuse. Sick people do not recognise health.

Living intuitively has to start with learning the basics of health: body, mind, and emotions. Once you have done this over and over again, then it becomes part of you. Ask anyone who has transformed their life.

Women over 40 need consistency in a way that honours a cyclical shift from maiden to master.

Strength is relearned. Health is relearned. And then the energy shifts into a place of deep intuition ❤️

I guess the real question is - why are women so reluctant to rest?

Why have we been taught, subtly and consistently, to push through… when rest is actually where the magic happens?

I’m not talking about being sedentary. I’m talking about the woman who shows up. The one who knows movement matters. The one committed to her long-term health.

But women are cyclical.
In the lead-up to our period, and during it, our physiology is asking for rest. And yet so many of us ignore it.

The inability to rest isn’t discipline - it’s disconnection.

If you feel uneasy slowing down… if you can’t relax unless you’ve “earned it”… that’s not strength. That’s a disconnect from your own body. And this flows into every area of our lives, not just our exercise schedule!

We’ve been conditioned to believe:
– If we don’t exercise every day, we’ll lose our attractiveness
– If we slow down, we fall behind
– If we rest, we’re lazy

But constantly pushing is what creates burnout, hormonal disruption, and long-term health issues.

Honey, your body is not meant to perform the same every day.

Train with your cycle, not against it:

Days 1-5: Rest & recover
Light walking, gentle yoga, mobility, or full rest

Days 6-14: Build & push
Strength training, HIIT, running, higher energy workouts

Days 15-23: Maintain & adjust
Moderate strength, Pilates, steady cardio, slower movement

Days 24-28: Slow down & reset
Low intensity movement, walking, stretching, recovery

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing what’s right for your body. Pushing through isn’t the badge of honour we were taught it was.

What the world needs now is women who know when to move… and when to rest.

And if the world isn’t ready for that?
We take our power back anyway.

Our metabolic health depends on it.
Intelligent training over chaos.

WE ARE NOT SMALL MEN ❤️
