If you feel stressed about the changes happening to your body, you’re not alone.
So many women have concerns about their bodies getting weaker in midlife, but the truth is there is so much you can do to strengthen your body no matter how active you’ve been before now. I promise it’s not too late!
We’re lucky enough to be joined by Dr. Gina Hahn in this episode to teach us some simple and practical ways to get moving and get stronger. I wanted Gina to be one of my first guests on the podcast because of her unique approach to physical therapy and the connection between mind and body. Just wait until you hear the episode; you’re going to love her.
She’s talking about how you hold stressors in your body, getting to know your body and look at the whole picture, how to strengthen different parts of your body, and so much more.
Dr. Gina Hahn is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy. She specializes in pelvic health and chronic pain. Her approach to physical rehab includes mindfulness training, behavior modification, strength and conditioning, and hands-on therapy.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
- How stress manifests in our bodies
- The benefits of deep breathing
- Taking a look at the bigger picture rather than just treating one symptom
- Getting to know your body’s needs and wants
- How to strengthen your bones in midlife
- Keeping your body strong and healthy so that you can live the life you want
- How to start strengthening your body no matter how active you’ve been before now
- The benefits of weight training
- How to identify a good trainer or training program
If getting active seems overwhelming to you right now, start small. Think about ways to move your body that you enjoy and pick a time to do a little more of that, even if it’s just once a week. You’ll create a foundation for yourself that you can build on and over time you will see the quality of your life improve.
