Movement - Why Does It Matter So Much?

Hello everyone,

I'm writing this blog after having two incidents in the last two months, both which made me think about the importance of being strong for later life.  We see lots of information on this of course, so I'm not telling you anything new, other than now I've experienced falling and being injured properly, I can REALLY see why we need to be fit as long as physically possible.  By strength I mean, strong muscles and bones.  The ability to recover from falls and to prevent Osteoporosis.

Peri-Menopause Nutrition

 

What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the time period leading up to menopause and lasts, on average, for 4 years.  Some women may be in this stage for just a few months, whilst for others it can last for up to 10 years (1).

The onset of perimenopause often begins in a woman’s 40’s, however some women enter in their late 30’s and other women, their early 50’s.  The average age of onset is around 45 years.

An Introduction to Female Nutrition

 

Over the course of the Hot Mama Fitness and Nutrition Programme we will explore the different stages of the female life cycle to better understand how we can use good nutrition to achieve balanced female health.

 

Good diet and lifestyle practices are important throughout the entire female life cycle, however certain stages carry greater importance for optimum nutrition.  The main stages for Hot Mamas to consider are:

MOVING FORWARDS AND SAYING GOODBYE

Writing about this is going to feel like I'm writing my life as it stands currently.  As a woman of 45, I am yet to experience menopause but yet feel that it is around the corner, just waiting for the right time to say hi.  I am, as are many of my friends and clients, experiencing gentle changes that I know are going to increase over the next few years.  I'd say I'm in the peri-menopausal stage of life and am beginning to see that I will have to say goodbye to a few things in my life.  I'm not talking about people (although you never know!), or material objects.  I'm talking about parts of

Peri-Menopause - I feel a bit different!

After a lovely bank holiday weekend, I find myself thinking more and more about the peri-menopause and menopause periods (not meant as a pun!) and how it starts to affect us all at some point.  I met with some friends I hadn't seen in a long time and one of them mentioned feeling like they want to swear much more often than before.

Post Natal Recovery - Two Stories

Emma, 2 children, 5 yrs and 5 mths

I first started classes with Sam after having my daughter, who is now nearly 5. With this pregnancy I wasn't able to attend any of the prenatal sessions, but was keen to start postnatal fitness after having my son and instantly knew Sam would be the best classes to attend. Her knowledge is vast and she has such a passion to help woman with their fitness.

A Healthy Balance Please!

I've been described by my nearest and dearest as a fairly balanced person and I guess that this is true.  However, last year I did develop a rather unhealthy relationship with food and exercise.  As someone who has always exercised and always been conscious of nutrition, I never took it to extremes, fitting in exercise where I could and generally eating foods that I liked and were in the main healthy.  I've got parents who are laid back about food and there were never any restrictions or bad relationships around food.  It was just something that you ate to fuel your day, with probably room

A Numbers Game?

I've had several conversations this week with women who, in one way or another, feel they are failing.  Feel that they are failing when it comes to numbers.  Numbers being weight, body fat, age......and so on.  It got me thinking about the huge pressure that we put on ourselves every single day and why numbers, when related to health, can put even more pressure on us.  When do these numbers ever take into account what is actually going on in our lives?  Isn't it just another way to feel guilty or to keep us chained to another version of weight?  Just how many years have women been trying to
