What can you expect from this guide?

1. The guide includes loads of different exercises, using kettlebells, bands, exercise balls, dumbbells and body weight.

2. Guidance on how to plan your training and how to get started.

3. Some information on training as a menopausal athlete with two pages of scientific research for you to read, and also references to other publications where menopausal athletes have been studied

4. Five workouts including "SIT" - with variations to help you put it all together and get started.

No frills, no touch-ups, no filters in my photographic illustrations - it's just me, as I am. Why? Because strong menopausal women come in all shapes and sizes. Being thin and lean does not mean you have conquered menopause, not does it mean that is what you need to look like. Conquering menopause is the day when you get out of bed and say "OH YES" because you can get your gear on, ride your bike, go hit targets in the gym, kick ass at work and come home of an evening and relax, feeling a sense of achievement, being able to sleep, and then wake up the next day and say "HELL YEAH" and do it all over. It also means that on a day you can CHOOSE to stay home, relax, read, and recover because you've committed to your lifestyle and enjoyed your workouts for the preceding days.
