#75: Tips for Starting & Maintaining your Fitness Habits - with Dr. Peggy Malone

40+ Fitness for Women: Strength Training, Health & Weight Loss for Women in menopause & perimenopause

Have you had trouble getting started with weight training or in staying consistent with your training?

If so, this episode is for you!

In this episode, I talk with Life Coach Peggy Malone who works with midlife women about different strategies which can help you to start and stay consistent with your fitness habits.

We discuss many different ways to build and maintain good habits (because one size does not fit all!) They include:

1. Connecting the habit you want to build with your values
2. Tapping into the wisdom of your future self
3. The All-or-something vs. all-or-nothing mentality
4. The "do it for 5 minutes" rule
5. Habit stacking
6. Changing your identity
7. Building systems to get you to your goals
8. The need for accountability
