🤷‍♀️Why should we strength train ?
Strength training is the best thing we can do to help protect the health of our muscles & bones as we age

🦴Women lose both muscle mass & bone density at a faster rate than men.
We also continue to lose as we age.
When menopause hits, this loss is greater and faster.

Join me for Lift Lean to help control this loss, slow it down & even reverse these changes with regular sessions

I qualified with the YMCA in the 90s 🤦‍♀️
I spent my days off from my regular job at college for this "one day a week course" over 6 months.
We trained inside, we trained outside in negative temperatures.🥶
Practising routines after work & attending other classes to help me prepare for the exam.
I lived and breathed aerobics and it was (after step aerobics )my 1st love and I still love it
The YMCA is still the leading training provider for group exercise in the UK. In my opinion, the foundation course for any group ex instructor.
If I had to take my course again I'd chose these in a heartbeat.❤️

✨️ WHAT’S YOUR WHY? ✨️
Let’s have a little fun! 👇

We all have a reason for keeping fit & active — but what’s YOUR reason for showing up week after week?

Pick your WHY and drop the number/s or emoji/s in the comments! 👇

1️⃣ 💪 GET STRONGER
I want to feel stronger, fitter & more capable.

2️⃣ ❤️ STAY HEALTHY
I want to look after my health & stay active for as long as possible.

3️⃣ 🦴 LOOK AFTER MY BONES & JOINTS
I want to keep my body strong, mobile & moving well.

4️⃣ 🧠 FEEL GOOD
Exercise makes me feel happier, lifts my mood & helps my mental wellbeing.

5️⃣ ⚡ MORE ENERGY
I want to have more energy so I can do more things with ease

6️⃣ 👖 FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY BODY
I want to feel comfortable, confident & strong in my own skin.

7️⃣ 🌸 MENOPAUSE & BEYOND

8️⃣ 👭 THE SOCIAL SIDE
The friendships, encouragement & camaraderie are a big part of group exercise

9️⃣ 🔥 I LOVE A CHALLENGE
I like pushing myself & seeing what I can achieve.

🔟 💃 KEEP MOVING & FEEL YOUNG
I want to stay active, independent & enjoy life to the fullest.

1️⃣1️⃣ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY

1️⃣2️⃣ 😂 BECAUSE I’D MISS THE FUN!

1️⃣3️⃣ 🌟 SOMETHING ELSE
Tell us your own WHY!

👇 COMMENT YOUR NUMBER (OR NUMBERS!) BELOW 👇

If you see someone else's WHY that sounds like yours… give them a ❤️

Sometimes, actually, probably more often than not, your reason for exercising isn't about how you look (although it's a great side effect of the effort put in)

It’s about how you FEEL, MOVE, LIVE & ENJOY LIFE. 🙌

So… what’s your why?
