It's been very busy this year so far at the studio. I am very grateful to all those who trust me to help them with their fitness journey--those who just don't like a public gym atmosphere; those who want help getting started in the privacy of our welcoming space; those who are self-conscious and looking for guidance and support with no judgement. I'm here for you.

I still have some time available if you are looking for help with your fitness routine. Book your FREE consultation at: https://app.greminders.com/c/vernachan

✨ Postmenopausal muscles respond just like men to resistance training ✨



Recent meta-analyses decisively show that postmenopausal women are not resistant to loading—they gain strength and hypertrophy on par with their male counterparts:

• In adults >50 years, no s*x differences in relative strength or muscle‐size gains after identical resistance training protocols (Sports Med, 2021; PMID 33332016)
• In adults ≥ 60 years, comparable increases in muscle mass and strength for women and men (Ageing Res Rev, 2023; PMID 37507092) citeturn1search7

💪 Menopause ≠ Muscle Resistance 💪
Postmenopausal women respond to resistance training just as powerfully as men—gaining comparable strength and hypertrophy when results are expressed relative to their baselines.



CONCLUSION
Postmenopausal women are not resistant to loading—just like younger women, they build muscle and strength with every rep. Let’s empower every woman to pick up those weights and prove that age and hormones don’t limit progress!

So grab those weights, trust the process, and show the world that age and hormones don’t hold you back—they’re your superpower. Let’s empower all women to lift, train, and thrive at every stage of life! Share this with a woman who needs to know how important lifting is. ❤️

Cutest toe beans ever...

If you've got that "New Year, New You" resolution happening let me give you my 2 cents about why I don't do any of those new year specials in my studio.

My FB & Instagram feeds are overflowing at the moment with fitness transformation programs and specials! While it's all fine and good to want to "get in shape" in the new year, what most do not consider is that, while you can get a great start in that 6 week, 3 month (or whatever) program, you actually need to use that to get into the habit of exercise FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE--and that's not as palatable as the get in shape in a short amount of time offers.

Personally, I think it's a better strategy to use that New Year energy to try a bunch of different things to get you on the right track. Try a class of anything that interests you--Tai Chi, yoga, barre, HIIT, Pilates, spin class... start walking after dinner (for instance), skate, swim, pickle ball... the key to staying on track with your fitness goals is finding things you actually like to do! Once you find something you like to do and start feeling more fit, you may be motivated to do more.

🌟 Why Start Small?
1️⃣ Build Confidence: Every win, no matter how small, boosts your motivation.
2️⃣ Stay Consistent: Small steps are easier to stick with, leading to long-term habits.
3️⃣ Avoid Burnout: Slow and steady keeps you energized and prevents injury.

🎯 Examples of Small Goals to Kick Off the Year:
✅ Walk 10 minutes a day.
✅ Add one more serving of veggies to your meals.
✅ Do 5 push-ups every morning.
✅ Stretch before bed 3 nights a week.

Remember, fitness is a journey, not a race. Celebrate every milestone and adjust your goals as you grow stronger.

✨ Your Challenge: Pick ONE small goal this week and stick to it. Share your progress with a friend or on social media for extra accountability!

💡 Ready to start your journey? Let’s make 2025 the year of your transformation—one small step at a time.



Wishing you an active, healthy and happy New Year!
