Always live for the dillulu life. It’s just bett Always live for the dillulu life. It’s just better believing anything and everything is possible ❤️
If ur a midlife woman into health and fitness you If ur a midlife woman into health and fitness you may have heard about Stacy Sims and her workout program, but if you have ever wondered about what’s inside??

This isn’t random workouts or just “getting a sweat on” — it’s structured strength, power, and intentional training designed specifically for women in midlife.

And honestly? It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.
I’m lifting heavier, training with more purpose, and feeling stronger than I have in years 💪

If you’ve been curious about the Power Happens program and what it actually looks like…

👉 Go and watch the full video where I take you through a full week of training

Or comment “Sims” and I’ll send you the link directly

Most women think they need longer workouts to chan Most women think they need longer workouts to change their body composition… but research suggests simply adding load to your body can make a difference.

In one study, participants wore a weighted vest (around 10% of their bodyweight) for several hours a day and after a few weeks researchers saw:

✔ Reduced body fat
✔ Increased lean muscle
✔ Smaller waist circumference

This is why I love using a weighted vest for walks and everyday movement. It’s one of the easiest ways to turn normal steps into strength training.

I’ve linked the one I use in the comments and on stories if you want to try it.

But noticing it and taking a break to slow down a little has me coming back. So today’s session I completed the same workout block as my group class I just pulled back the weights, pulled back the volume and really enjoyed this workout. 

Locals DM to come join classes:

Tuesday 9:00 Strength
Thursday 9:00 Strength
Friday 9:00 Conditioning

The right time to start making changes to your hea The right time to start making changes to your health and fitness habits does not exist

You are never going to magically start having more time

You just have to get started. Do it when it’s imperfect, start when it’s messy, start when it’s inconvenient

That’s when it will really start to stick

Starting my weight loss journey on a GLP1 medicati Starting my weight loss journey on a GLP1 medication mounjaro. It’s not been an easy decision to start this and also to share this. As a health coach there are feelings of failure and fear of judgement. But with my challenges with PCOS and insulin resistance I just couldn’t get the weight to come off and was currently sitting at an unhealthy body fat percentage. 

So I’m sharing my journey on using this as a tool to improve my health and regain and healthy body weight and hopefully o prove my PCos symptoms in the prices

2 weeks in I’m 7lb down. Slow and steady is the goal while also maintaining as much muscle as I can.

Over 40? The basics matter more than ever. Before Over 40? The basics matter more than ever.

Before you chase the next plan, ask yourself:
✔ Am I sleeping enough? 7-9 hours?
✔ Am I eating enough protein? 30-40g at my main meals
✔ Am I moving daily? 7k + steps
✔ Am I managing stress?

Get these right first. Everything else becomes easier.

Save this for you year long reminder

One of the biggest mistakes I see women 40+ making One of the biggest mistakes I see women 40+ making in the gym is not training with enough intensity.

As Stacy Sims teaches, those last few reps of your sets should feel hard — that struggle is the signal your body needs to:
✔️ hold onto muscle
✔️ support metabolism
✔️ protect bone density
✔️ stay strong as hormones change

This is exactly why I’ve loved the Power Happens programme so much. It’s pushed me to lift heavier, train with purpose, and honestly… I feel stronger now than I have in years 💪

If you want the link to my full review + the programme, comment “Sims” and I’ll send it to you.

Both of which are important especially for us midlife women. And you are getting all the good stuff into one scoop
