Stronger You Fitness

Where my early morning workout peeps?

I used to always be a super early morning workout person, but now with my son starting school at 7:30 and me often having clients at 6:30am; I shifted to anytime I have a 30+ min hike in my schedule.

But this week commences soccer and baseball and I see a lot more early morning basement workouts in my future.

You’ll see me sneaking in a run or hiit workout before games or during practices…instead of making the excuse that I don’t have time; I find time 😉

I practice what I preach bc I know it’s possible for me and for YOU!

• Consistent bedtime
• Morning sunlight
• Reduce late caffeine & alcohol
Poor sleep → worse cravings, recovery, and mood.

#2: Eat enough protein—daily

Aim for ~25–35g per meal.

• Helps blood sugar control

So what are some ways we can combat the fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, etc.?

I’m gonna go through and give you the top 10 things to do to help with aging and perimenopause to stay healthy and fit.
