The benefits of SlimFit 40+
✔ Increases weight loss – as women go into menopause the metabolic rate naturally slows down, partly because muscle mass is decreasing too.
Therefore, doing resistance exercise, which builds muscle, and short sharp cardio can make it easier to lose weight, especially around the belly and thighs.
✔ Increases muscle mass – muscle mass decreases once you hit this age and women become much weaker. Therefore, women need to increase their
muscle fibres and muscle mass by working their muscles. Muscle also increases the metabolism and burns more calories just by being there, so you lose
more weight! Need I mention the belly and thighs again!!
✔ Amazing for mental cognition – if you get up feeling a bit foggy and cloudy, you just don’t feel great – do 20 minutes and BOOM! It completely changes
the whole state of mind by elevating the FEEL GOOD hormones, like serotonin and dopamine. You feel good and your mood improves! You just feel
happier when you’ve done a workout like this because you get all the positive hormones surging through the whole body!
✔ Improves bone density – resistance exercise improves bone density and helps to prevent osteoporosis, which is a major problem for many women post-
menopause. Over a third of women in the UK have one or more bone fractures because of osteoporosis in their lifetime. At age 80, 10% of women will
die from complications of a fracture within 1 month, and 30% will die within a year. Scary stuff…
✔ Improved cardiovascular fitness – heart disease is very common in post-menopausal women and in fact, coronary heart disease kills more than twice
as many women as breast cancer in the UK. SlimFit 40+ concentrates not just on muscle strength but also cardiovascular fitness, so yes, you will get a bit
puffed, but it’s a good thing!
✔ Menopause symptoms may be improved – doing the right exercise and eating the right things in menopause can have a massive impact on symptoms
such as hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety etc. Ah, there are too many symptoms to list! It’s the hormones that are out of whack that
are causing problems and doing the right exercise, eating the right foods and following wellbeing techniques can really help to improve that balance.
✔ Improved eating habits - what you eat has a significant affect on your body. Eating healthily can energise you, help you to lose weight, decrease aches and
pains in joints, improve stress and mental wellbeing, improve sleep and much more. Seriously, what you eat affects just about everything!
✔ Better stress management and mental wellbeing - life can be manic and stressful and sometimes we seem to have so much on our plates. Did you
know that stress can cause weight gain and even illness? So get it under control with things like my Mind Body workouts, including ME Moments, stretches,
mobility, Fitness Pilates and meditation. YOU are the most important person in your life so start firing on all cylinders so that you can deal with everything life
