I am so glad I made the decision to join Beth’s 3 month programme back in April this year.
Literally not long after I turned 50 last year, I started to notice changes to my body. I was gaining weight around my middle, I felt that any muscle definition I had ever had was fading fast and it was really getting me down. Hot flushes became hot sweats and I was experiencing 40 to 60 a day, no joke!
Welcome to the menopause!
I have never been into going to the gym, so joining the programme was a big change for me. I am a dance teacher and everyone assumes that means you’re fit but it doesn’t. I realised this very quickly when I went for my first benchmark test 😅 my treadmill time was woeful and I could barely lift 2kg!
I was also apprehensive about some of the core work because I have got an umbilical hernia which I have had since I had my 2 children 23 years ago.
Beth is amazing, she showed me how to adapt the exercises to suit my hernia and my nearly recovered frozen shoulder. She is great fun to be with and she certainly know how to get the best from you.
She is so encouraging and has shown me that I can push myself so much further than I ever thought.
I have now been with Beth 7 months and have so much to thank her for, without her I know I would have given up on my new found levels of fitness.
I will happily choose to do 45 minutes HIIT, lift weights up to 6kg and can even do the advanced versions of the ab exercises despite the hernia (something I never thought would be possible for me). My hot sweats have virtually disappeared, I have gained muscle definition and feel so much better about myself.
I get up early to do my workouts and believe me, there have been so many days where I could have easily stayed in bed but the euphoria and satisfaction when you’ve finished your workout is GOLD 💫
I love being a member of Team Lifted. Thanks so much Beth, you’re stuck with me now 😁
