One thing many people come to me for is motivation.  

Difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
How you can start small with your motivation
A body in motion stays in motion
Finding an accountability buddy to help you with motivation and consistency
Find something you enjoy doing to keep you moving. 

These are the three tips to help you get motivated to start moving more.

Today I am discussing things that can affect your cortisol levels.  

With cortisol naturally increasing as we enter perimenopause, it is important to understand what may be causing our stress levels to rise so that we can work on decreasing it.  

I provide you with a checklist to determine how many of these things that can increase cortisol are currently affecting you so that you can take a self assessment to work on decreasing your stress levels. 

Here is the link for the cortisol checklist for you:

This week you can test your balance with this movement snack.

Each month I like to focus on a movement to help us get stronger or increase mobility.  This month I want you to focus on your balance.  

Try these balance exercises to see how well you do.  
-First are you able to balance on one leg for 30 seconds?
-Are you able to get the glute to fire on?
-How does your visual system affect your balance?
-Can you do the tandem balance?

If you struggle to balance I provide balance exercises for beginners, but also have more advanced one leg balance exercises as well.
Make sure to head over to our Moving through Midlife Community over in Facebook to watch a video and let us know how you did with your balance.

Are you having a midlife crisis?

Today I am discussing what exactly a midlife crisis is defined as, how you may feel about a midlife crisis, and ways to think about it differently.  How this time in midlife can be thought of as more of an awakening, when it tends to happen in our life, and tips on how to handle it.
