As someone who went on my personal roller coaster journey entering my 40s, there are three things I wish I had been a little more clear on. And as I hit 5-0 this year, the surprises keep coming. 😜 Here are 3 crucial gems I’ve learned along the way: 1️⃣ Strength training becomes less about physical transformation and even more about safeguarding your health - the outward appearance changes from your efforts are a bonus. 💪 As we age, our muscles naturally weaken, but strength training helps combat that. It boosts metabolism, preserves bone density, and enhances overall mobility, making everyday tasks easier and possible. 2️⃣ Recovery isn’t just a luxury spa day - it’s essential maintenance for your body and mind. As we get older, our recovery time increases, but so does the importance of it. Prioritize rest, sleep, and relaxation to recharge your batteries and keep those energy levels up. 3️⃣ Change can be daunting, but it’s also an opportunity for growth. Embrace the shifts happening in your body and life, and use them as a chance to discover what truly works for you. Whether it’s tweaking your fitness routine to adapt to your new goals, exploring new hobbies, or adjusting your self-care regimen, lean into the change and let it empower you to be the best version of yourself. ✨ The best news…it’s never too late. If you’re ready to take control, join my Move Strong program inside the #JennLabFit app and let’s start making those positive steps forward.

💬 Here’s my thoughts on supplements… There’s a lot of noise out there when talking about supplements. Lots of good facts and even more BS! Here’s my two cents 👉 They aren’t usually a must, but the right ones can be helpful in reaching your goals. Whether it’s filling nutritional gaps, supporting recovery, or boosting performance, choose wisely and remember they’re just that - supplements, not substitutes. 🙌These are some of my favorites by @legion. The RECHARGE Post Workout is my ultimate fav! Are there food options that can replace these - yep! But these help me easily fill the gaps aligned with my busy schedule. Legion has a massive BOGO 50% off sale plus other bonuses going on right now. 🎉 Use my link in bio and code JENNLABFIT to receive your discount plus double loyalty points!

#FridayFavorites ~ Target 🎯 core, shoulders, back and more in this one move! Key 🔑 to safely performing this is to ensure you take the time to set up properly and keep the movement slow and controlled. ✔️Ensure hands are under the shoulders and fingers spread wide. ✔️Avoid locking out your elbows or knees as you push back, stopping before you get to full range of motion. Protect those shoulders! ✔️Keep your core engaged the entire time, giving it a little extra engagement as you drive into the bear plank. 👉Aim for 10-15 reps for 3-4 rounds. See you tomorrow for our live Core Intensity session at 8:00 am EDT! . . . #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitover60 #mindfulmovement #core #coreworkout #abworkout #compoundexercises #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation

LUNGE Modification 🔥 Personalize your workouts to fit your needs and your goals. If lunges aren’t xxx there are lots more of incredible options - just like this powerhouse kettlebell move. 👉Engage your core, press gently back into the heel of the leading foot and hip hinge as you lower the kettlebell to the outside of your front foot. 👉Select a weight that challenges you but allows you to stay in control of the movement. 👉Aim for 10 reps each side. Give it a go and let me know what you think. . . #kettlebell #squats #lunges #modification #fitnessover40 #fitnessover50

🩷Midlife doesn’t have to be about limitations…it can be about possibilities. Chances are, at some point after your 40s you’ve experienced an internal battle or life has taken an unexpected turn - maybe even right now?! Amidst those battles and physical or mental challenges a game changer can be focusing on what you CAN do instead of what you can’t. Can you wake up earlier? YES Can you modify an exercise? YES Can you set a small goal? YES Can you add more protein? YES Can you stretch? YES Can you meditate? YES ❗️I’m not saying it’s easy. Let’s be real. But it is worth it. The only limit is the one you set for yourself. If you’re ready to say YES I CAN I’m ready to support you. DM me the word YES or comment below and I’ll hook you up with the link 🔗 for a 7 day free trial. . . #yesican #midlifewomen #gettingfitover40 #workoutsforwomen

TRICEP PUSH UP PROGRESSIONS 🙌 There are lots of ways to reach your goals. Start where you are and work towards where you can. 👉Tuck your elbows in on all three options to effectively engage your triceps. ❗️Sometimes the modified option is where you’ll land permanently and that’s 100% okay. Truthfully, the knees down option is the one that suits me best with my shoulder issues. Find what works for you and your body - remember that could look different today than it did 5 years ago or even different than it will 6 months from now. The key 🔐 is to show up for yourself consistently in the way that you deserve. Challenge yourself but give yourself grace. . . #triceps #triceppushups #showupforyourself #pushupprogressions #modifiedexercises #fitover40 #midlifewomen
