Why is resistance training so important as we age, and how can we fit that into our busy lives with so much else to juggle?

Katie spoke with personal trainer Kate Oakley on the podcast about how we can increase strength and protect our bones and joints in midlife, as well as find ways to fit it into our day, even with only 5 minutes to spare.

Kate explains why we need to change the way we exercise at 40 plus, and how the right kind of training can do more than just help you “get through” the challenges that come with menopause but also be empowering and totally change your outlook on life.

Katie speaks to yoga instructor, author and founder of Menopause Yoga™ Petra Coveney to the podcast to talk about the benefits of practicing yoga and how we can incorporate it into our busy lives.

Petra also talked about the benefits of journaling as you form new, healthy habits and reframes menopause as the gateway to a woman’s second spring which breaks the cycle of negative imagery around midlife. She previously joined Katie for a session at last year's Midlife Festival and also a workshop in our private membership about preparing for sleep.
