I can’t think of one midlife woman I know who hasn’t hit a snafu when it comes to fitness. Thanks to hormone shifts and aging, you may feel your body changing, your weight redistributing, or your energy levels plummeting. Maybe you’re frustrated because your tried-and-true workouts and meal plans are suddenly no longer yielding the same results. Or maybe you’re facing emotional roadblocks that are sabotaging your efforts. Well, if you’re looking for a way back to feeling great, you’re gonna love this episode. My guest is Kelly Howard, a fitness consistency expert who has some fantastic tips and tricks to help get you motivated and back on track toward getting healthy and fit, and keep you in that sweet spot over the long haul. The best part? She wants you to experience fun and adventure in the process.
