Why Fitness Goals Stop Working in Menopause
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, I just can’t make myself do it anymore,” this episode is for you.
Many women in menopause struggle with motivation around exercise, not because they’re undisciplined, but because the goals they’re carrying no longer make sense to their body.
In this episode of The Midlife Method, Cam Allen explains why fitness goals often fall apart in menopause and introduces the NLP concept of well-formed goals. These are goals designed to help your brain and body get on the same page again.
You’ll learn:
- Why “trying harder” backfires in menopause
- How to set fitness goals your body can actually respond to
- The 7 guidelines of a well-formed goal using real-life menopause examples
- Why flexibility matters more than willpower in midlife
- How to rebuild trust with your body and stop starting over
This episode is especially helpful if you’re navigating menopause, perimenopause, low energy, inconsistent motivation, or frustration with workouts that used to work.
