Lots of women challenge themselves with crash diets every year trying to fit into a bikini in 4 months time. BUT in reality, we are training for our future selves, not for the ‘bikini body’ this summer 🙏 and the sooner we realise that the more we will love exercising.

and it won't be a chore anymore.

However, as we age exercise changes. What used to work doesn't work anymore.

I work with a lot of women in their late 30s–50s who are doing all the "right things” like...

– Eating less
– Moving more
– Trying to be consistent

But hormones change the rules, especially in perimenopause.

It’s not about trying harder – it’s about training and fuelling smarter.

Has anyone else noticed that certain exercises aren't working the same anymore? Let me know what below 👇

Trust me… I feel you😅😅

But burpees get a bad rap! For perimenopausal and menopausal women, they can be a *smart* tool when used correctly.

They’re full-body, weight-bearing, and powerful - supporting muscle mass, bone density, heart health, and blood sugar regulation at a time when hormones are shifting and metabolism feels different.

They also help maintain power, coordination, and the ability to get up and down from the floor (exactly what we want when we get older 🙌).

That said, burpees are optional and should be scaled, programmed with intention, and avoided or modified if joints, pelvic floor, or recovery are struggling.

Perimenopause isn’t about crushing yourself.

It’s about training smart, protecting your hormones, and staying strong for life💪

Another 5 star review I'm so proud to share!⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"When I finally came to terms with needing to make a change I knew exactly where to go. Working with Charmaine over the past 12 weeks has resulted in so much more than losing a stone. Weight loss wasn’t my number 1 aim with this, but it certainly was a contributing factor and I couldn’t be happier with where I’m at now.

Charmaine has given me back confidence in my body and what it can do. I’ve learned so much about fuelling correctly for training, correct nutrition for performance, for better sleep and much more balanced hormones. I’ve honestly never felt better in my training or my body, and I can’t thank Charmaine enough."

When Sally first contacted me, I had a strong feeling she’d be a great client. She already enjoyed staying active and exercising regularly, but over the last few years her body composition had noticeably changed.

Suspecting perimenopause, alongside disrupted sleep, we focused on tightening up her nutrition, stabilising blood sugar, and introducing an appropriate supplement protocol to help reach her goals 👏

The results exceeded expectations.

Sally not only reached her original goal but surpassed it, losing a full stone in just 12 weeks, while feeling stronger, more energised, and back in control of her body again.👏 Sally worked so hard and it absolutely paid off.

A big well done to you! 🧡

You must keep going!!💪💪

Pushing through the challenges, the hard workouts and the down days is tough, BUT you owe it to yourself to see what all of your hard work brings you.

You deserve it!!

Lots of clients tell me that they love working with me for many reasons but one of the main reasons is accountability - being able to talk to me, ask questions when they’re stuck and get advice on food choices so they can make the right choices in the moment is so important! And this is a huge part of my 1:1 nutrition & training programme🧡

Collecting data properly will you to fully understand what your body already has and what it needs for weight loss.

Knowing your Resting Metabolic Rate is VITAL if you are going to succeed in your weight loss journey.

At Your Ideal Body, we have a Medically approved metabolic and body composition analyser, which can give an exact breakdown of RMR (resting metabolic rate), bone, fat, lean muscle and water.

The InBody Analyser uses bio-electrical impedance (BIA) to accurately measure the quantity of fat, lean muscle and water you have in your body.

The test works by applying two electrodes to the hands and feet. A small electrical frequency is passed through the body. Measurements of the resistance and reactance to the flow of the current are made. This is the most accurate analyser on the market and is used in many hospitals around the world 👏

We are one of the few who have a machine like this in Cornwall!!

How do you know the changes in your body composition is the result of a fitness programme?

The answer - you don’t know what is changing unless you measure it.

During your appointment we will fully interpret your results and give you suggestions on where and how to make improvements that will be both nutrition and exercise based. The results sheet is a fully comprehensive document for you to take away and refer to at your leisure! 👏

Struggling to sleep during perimenopause? It’s not random, it's low blood sugar.

Low progesterone + a nighttime blood sugar dip = your body hits the cortisol/adrenaline panic button…

And BOOM, you’re wide awake! Sound familiar?

Here’s my advice for fixing this:
✨ A tiny protein–carb snack before bed (think: 2 rice cakes + almond butter, or half a protein shake with a few berries)
✨ Magnesium bisglycinate for deeper relaxation
✨ Ashwagandha to calm the stress response
These small tweaks = big differences

This is Anne 🧡

I’ve been training Anne for over two years now, and she’s a brilliant example of what true commitment looks like.

She brings her heart and soul to every session and has increased her strength by a whopping 50%! 👏

Following her most recent operation, Anne is carefully and patiently working her way back to full form.

She’s a real testament to the power of going into surgery strong and fit - despite it being a major, invasive procedure - as that foundation has helped her recover better and come back even stronger.

Well done to you, Anne 👏 Here's to more years and fun training together!

The 3am wake up…👀🥱

Who else can relate?

In perimenopause, this is quite common. It usually a mixture of low progesterone and low blood sugar.

To address low progesterone - take a low does of magnesium glycinate or try Ashwaganda
To address low blood sugar - have a small serving of carbs & protein an hour before bed

Here are a few suggestions to improving your diet and routine to avoid these early morning wake ups.

Give them a go and let me know how it goes.

Follow me for more tips during perimenopause…🧡

FAT IN PERIMENOPAUSE?👇

Fat is essential for healthy hormones and perimenopause isn’t the time to fear it, it’s the time to choose it wisely.

Healthy fats support hormone production, stabilise blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and help keep you fuller for longer (goodbye energy crashes and constant snacking).

Think omega-3s like oily fish, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado…the kind of fats that work *with* your body, not against it ✅

If your metabolism feels different lately, it’s not about eating less, it’s about nourishing smarter.

Balance your meals with protein, fibre, and quality fats to support body composition, mood, and long-term health throughout perimenopause.

Fuel your hormones. Strengthen your body. Thrive through this phase 👏

Are you a women in your 30s-50s?
Feeling like your workouts aren't working the same anymore?

As estrogen and progesterone declines in perimenopause, your body responds differently to exercise...

❌ You lose muscle faster
❌ Recovery takes longer
❌ Nervous system does not fire the same way

That’s why HIIT classes don’t seem to work for you anymore.

Remember....high cortisol = belly fat, poor sleep and hormone disruption

If you’re struggling with any of this, please send me a DM and I’ll be happy to give you my best advice for exercise in perimenopause.
