Exercise and Fitness during Menopause with Strength and Conditioning Coach, Jana Barrett

This week I have a very special guest on the show, Jana Barrett. Jana and I discuss: Jana’s journey What club bells are and what they are used for Differences in training when working in a gym vs. mace and club bells How much space you need for this training How perimenopause and menopause affects exercise Listening to your body Exercising according to hormonal schedule Understanding your cycle Changing the “all or nothing” mentality Importance of individualized training Importance of mobility training Mobility post surgery One last piece of advice to listeners   And much more!   More about Jana: Jana is all about exercising to feel strong, confident and powerful and to move with freedom, and pain free for as long as we possibly can. Jana is a certified TACFIT Instructor, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Qualified Personal Trainer and a Mobility Alchemist. Jana helps athletic women over 40 transition from exercise that leaves them either broken, burnt out or bored into a new way of training that’s more aligned with their stage of life so they can age with strength, confidence and grace for all of life without sacrificing the challenge, thrill and joy. Jana has almost a decade of experience. Her clients get strong and powerful using exercise and movement that is intuitive and suits their bodies, especially as they are transitioning through menopause. Jana has discovered & mastered ancient warrior training with steel mace and clubbells and she now helps other women discover their feminine warrior. She believes that every woman deserves to feel strong, confident and invincible! Jana is a mother of three children and lives in the beautiful New Zealand. She loves all things outdoors and is a keen (but not always very good) surfer.
