I had a little health win this week at the Dr's (that's so rare for me).
Talking to the nurse during my annual check, she said:
"I can tell you go to the gym!", when I asked her how she knew? She replied: "I can see it in your blood work!" 😮
I lift because it helps me with:
💜 Low mood/ anxiety linked to perimenopause
💜 Strengthen my bones
💜 Builds my muscle, so I can keep client's muscles in check. 😉
Nobody talks about the benefits lifting has on the blood (lowering blood pressure, turns surgar into fuel & boosts white cell count). So it feels like a massive added hidden bonus.
So I'm wondering if there are other women I know who lift, either at the gym or at home, and if anyone would be interested in started a chat group?
I thought it could be a place for motivation, accountability, to share the highs, lows, gains, losses and the good recipes for hitting those protein goals.
It could also be a space for those who are looking to get started, and maybe even a buddy group for those looking for company.
I never thought I'd be a "gym bunny", but I can sure relate to the T-shirt that says "I'd rather be at the gym" 🤣
I've spoken to at least 20 clients this month about going to the gym, and I'd love to keep those conversations going. 💜
