Exercise With Louise - Pilates, Yoga & Fitness Classes

Thank you to everyone that commented about beginners strength training. I will be sending out messages on Saturday to you all!

Who is this course for?

If you’ve lost weight quickly through a GLP-1 medication or a diet, then some of this weight will be muscle loss, also if you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, strength training isn’t optional—it’s essential.

As we age and during hormonal changes, we naturally lose muscle mass. Rapid weight loss can accelerate this, leaving us weaker, slowing metabolism, and increasing the risk of poor balance, injuries, and reduced independence later in life.

Strength training helps you:
✔ Preserve and build lean muscle
✔ Support bone health
✔ Boost metabolism
✔ Improve strength, balance, and confidence
✔ Maintain a healthy body composition

And also…

Muscles and the brain constantly communicate with each other. When muscles contract during strength training, they release beneficial compounds called myokines that can positively influence brain health.

The goal isn’t just to weigh less—it’s to be strong, capable, and healthy for years to come.

Strong is not just how you look. It’s how you live. 💜

So comment below if you haven’t already and I will include you in my messages.

Coming soon… 💪💪

if you are a midlife woman or post menopausal woman and know how important strength training is but are clueless about what to do, then I will be running a 10 day ‘intro to strength training’ which will help you!

Equipment, exercises, how many, how often, etc etc!

I try and avoid stress wherever possible as I know the harm it can cause on your mind and body..

but the course I’m currently doing actually made me think…

Stress – Is It Always Bad?

Not all stress is harmful. In fact, small doses of challenge and stress can help us grow stronger, build resilience, improve confidence and adapt to life’s demands.

The problem comes when stress becomes constant. Our bodies are designed to cope with short bursts of stress, not to stay in “fight or flight” mode day after day.

Too much stress can lead to:
• Poor sleep
• Increased anxiety and low mood
• Fatigue and low energy
• Digestive issues
• Weakened immunity
• Increased inflammation
• Hormonal imbalances
• Higher blood pressure
• Muscle tension and headaches

The goal isn’t to remove all stress from life – it’s to create balance. Challenge yourself, step outside your comfort zone, then make time to rest, recover and reset. This is the important part. You need to stop. Then you restart stronger and deal with situations better.

Strength comes from both resilience and recovery. 💜

do you know when your stress levels are becoming too much? Are you taking time out regularly?

I’m so excited and nervous about going to see The Mind Architect in London next week. A live audience interaction event. I’m taking myself out of my comfort zone and going on my own.

The mind fascinates me. Overcoming fear. Overcoming anxiety. Pushing yourself.
All things I need and hope to pass onto people.
