Description

If you are a woman in midlife who is looking for practical information on how to stay fit in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, this is the show for you!

- Do you want to learn how to exercise in a way that not only makes you look and feel great today but also prepares you for the decades ahead? 

- Do you want to learn how to start weight training in your 40s and 50s?

- Do you want to understand the hormonal changes that are going on in your body - with estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol - and how those affect how you should be training?

Lynn has you covered!

40+ Fitness for Women Podcast is the fitness podcast for women in midlife focused on concrete tips and strategies for how to be fit and healthy today and maintain your quality of life in the decades ahead. 

Host Lynn Sederlöf is a certified menopause fitness coach. And, as a 52-year-old post-menopausal woman, she knows first-hand what going through the midlife transition is like.

She has struggled with the hormonal changes including a rollercoaster ride through perimenopause and changes to her body composition that seemed to happen almost overnight.

Lynn has been there, and found the path out - and is here to share that with you. Midlife can be the best part of life - if you learn how to work with your body.
