As we move through our 40s, many women notice changes in energy, flexibility, and even confidence. Hormones shift, recovery takes longer, and workouts that worked in our 20s and 30s don’t always feel right anymore.
The good news? A few small adjustments to how you train can make a huge difference in how you feel every single day.
💪 Why Strength & Mobility Are Key
Strength training helps preserve muscle, improve bone density, and boost metabolism.
Mobility exercises keep joints healthy, reduce stiffness, and improve posture.
Together, they support not just fitness, but confidence and everyday independence.
🏋️♀️ 3 Simple Moves You Can Try Today
Here are three of my go-to exercises for women in midlife — no fancy equipment required:
Glute Bridges – Great for posture, lower back support, and core strength.
Wall Sits – Builds lower-body endurance and improves stability.
Shoulder Openers – Loosens tension from desk work and improves flexibility.
Even just 10 minutes a day can help you feel more energised and capable.
