Before I get into it, It’s important that you understand that lifestyle transition coaching / the Lifestyle flip initiative is not just personal training sessions, it's much more than that. Lifestyle transition requires a mindset shift. This means that integrated into your coaching, we will also be working on confidence and perception as well as fitness and health. The mindset shift is paramount to me hitting my 2nd aim I speak of below, and paramount in achieving changing ones lifestyle choices for the long term.

Laugh love LIFT is be based around muscular strength and endurance, it is about getting stronger muscles, stronger bones, stronger hearts and stronger minds and creating a more resillient body and mind. It is about changing your body shape, giving you a leaner, stronger look making your body capable of things you never thought possible. What it's NOT is a programme to make you bigger! Let me explain what I mean...
So many Woman have this misconception that strength training and lifting weights turns their body's into a body builder shape...not true! Those ridiculous horror stories of lifting heavy weights makes women bulky or it's dangerous or it's bad for your joints, and the most ridiculous of all... once you have muscle, you can't stop lifting or it will all turn to fat.
It's all absolute rubbish! The fact is, lifting weights does none of those awful things. What it does is help you to live in a healthier, stronger body. This is particularly true and of the highest importance when us Women reach that age of biological transition into the peri and post menopause years.
YOU CANNOT TURN MUSCLE TO FAT...NOR CAN YOU TURN FAT TO MUSCLE. This is another crazy idea I hear a lot. They are two different things. What you CAN do is BURN the body fat as it is used as energy, and create stronger muscles through repetition.
Here's just eight reasons you should lift weights as a Woman
1. More Effective Fat Loss
A huge advantage of strength training is your body's ability to burn fat during and after the session.
2. Calorie Expenditure
As you increase your strength and lean muscle mass, your body uses calories more efficiently. To put it in lamens terms, the stronger your muscles are, the more calories your body burns at rest. So for example, a person who doesn't train may burn 1300 calories a day at rest for normal bodily functions, a person who trains and has strong muscles may burn 2000 calories a day at rest. So, the stronger you are, the more calories your body uses every day for doing absolutely nothing!
3. Curves
As You Build Lean Muscles, You Will See Your Body Begin To Change Shape. Quite Often, Women Who Strength Train Find Themselves Getting Smaller In Size. Clothes Fit Better And They Feel Fabulous!
4. Quality Sleep
It is proven that strength training massively improves the quality of sleep, helping you to fall asleep quicker, sleep deeper and wake less often during the night.
5. Increased Energy
Strength Training Raises Your Circulatory Levels Of Endorphins Which Not Only Improves Your Mood, but Also Increases Your Energy Levels.
6. Heart Health
Pumping iron can reduce your risk of heart disease and was approved as a healthy form of exercise for those at risk from the American Heart Association. A study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that those who lift weights are less likely have heart disease risk factors such as a large waist circumference, high triglycerides, elevated blood pressure, and elevated glucose levels.
Another study conducted by researchers in Brazil found that though the heart rate increased in patients during heavy bouts of training, their blood pressure and resting heart rate were significantly lower the following morning.
7. Bone Health
As you age, you are at risk of losing both bone and muscle mass. Postmenopausal women are at a greater risk for osteoporosis because the body no longer secretes estrogen. Strength training is an excellent way to combat loss of bone mass, and it decreases the risk of osteoporosis.
All of us want to feel strong, determined, and confident in everything we do.
A study conducted at McMaster University found that after a year of resistance training, postmenopausal women increased spinal bone mass by 9 percent. The earlier you begin weightlifting, the greater chance you have to maintain bone health later in life.
8. Stress Relief
Exercise in general is a great way to manage stress. Researchers have consistently found that those who regularly strength train tend to manage stress better and experience fewer adverse reactions to stressful situations as those who do not exercise.
