Perimenopause doesn’t mean you stop moving, it means you move smarter.

My Training Routine (What’s Working Right Now)

Over the next 6 weeks, here’s how I’m personally training:

🏋🏼‍♀️ 4 Days/Week of Strength Training

• Lower Body Days (2x/week):
  Step-ups, lunges, deadlifts, squats, bridges, plyometrics

• Upper Body Days (2x/week):
  Rows, presses, triceps, core, shoulder + back strength

I typically do 4 sets of each workout. Strength is my priority right now — especially as estrogen drops and preserving muscle mass becomes more important than ever.

🧘🏼‍♀️ 1 Yoga Class/Week

• A mix of Hatha or Yin, depending on what I need

• Sometimes I substitute with a home Yoga Nidra or pranayama practice

🎾 Bonus Movement:

• Tennis 1–2x/week when the season allows

What I’ve Let Go Of

❌ Cardio-heavy routines
❌ Feeling guilty for resting
❌ Trying to mimic 25-year-old me
❌ Working out through fatigue instead of listening

I’ve learned that burnout is not a badge of honor it’s a call to rebalance.

My Recovery Rituals

Recovery is not optional in perimenopause it’s foundational.
Here’s what I rotate throughout the week:

• 11-Minute Meditations

• Daily Mantra + Oracle Check-ins

• Red Light Therapy for Hormones + Muscles

• Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Self-Massage)

• CBD Gel on Sore Muscles

• Castor Oil Packs for Digestion + Hormone Support

• Yoga Nidra 1–2x/week

• Journaling + Reflective Stillness

Audit Your Own Routines

Try asking yourself:

• Do my workouts balance my hormones?

• Am I building strength consistently each week?

• Do I feel restored after my workouts?

• Am I sleeping well or waking up wired/tired?

• Where am I resisting stillness or softness?

• What recovery practices could support me more deeply right now?
