Life is a beautiful journey, and as you approach your 50s with wonderful kids thriving in school, it’s time to put your health and needs as number 1 on the priority list. It’s not uncommon to feel a little uneasy about changes happening in your body, especially as you navigate the pre-menopausal age. But remember, this is a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and a healthier you.

 

First and foremost, it’s crucial to acknowledge that you are not alone. Many women experience the same emotions about their bodies as they age, but it’s important to remember that your body has carried you through countless adventures and accomplishments, including growing life and raising children.

 

As you approach your 50s, many normal changes occur such as fluctuations in hormone levels as you near menopause. While this phase may be accompanied by uncertainties, it’s also a time of empowerment. Regular exercise can provide endless benefits during this period. Not only does it help manage potential chronic disease onset by maintaining a healthy body composition, maintaining strength, controlling blood pressure and blood sugars, but it also supports your mental well-being, helping combat mood swings and stress that can accompany this stage of life.

Starting an exercise routine with a Kinesiologist at Longevity Nexum, who also specializes working with post-natal women in early and later stages of life, might seem daunting, but remember that every journey begins with a single step. A kinesiologist can help guide in the right direction by presenting accountability and options that are not only safe and will provide results but that are enjoyable. Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore; it can be a source of joy and rejuvenation.

Engaging in regular physical activity also offers an opportunity to prioritize self-care, listen to your body’s needs, and celebrate its accomplishments. Set achievable goals with your Kinesiologist, and don’t forget to celebrate the success along the way. You’re not just exercising for your physical health, but for your overall well-being. You’re exercise to love what you see in the mirror – a beautiful, strong mom and confident mom who can be there for herself and family for years to come.
