WANT TO HAVE A HEALTHY, ACTIVE, VIBRANT OLDER AGE? FIND OUT HOW.

 I had the pleasure of talking to Sam Palmer the creator and founder of 'MidlifeMakeover' on my Instagram live. She is all about helping woman going through the Perimenopause and menopause.

Sam trained as a nurse many years ago. She worked in a neonatal intensive care unit until she left to train as a teacher at Greenwich University. Then she set up her first business, training people in First Aid. She ran that for fifteen years before selling it to set up her fitness business.

She told me that her own fitness journey began when her brother sadly died at the age of 28 in an accident. She ran the London marathon in his memory. She said that through the running years that followed she had wanted to help women find recreational fitness for themselves.  This passion took over and she focussed on building her fitness business especially for perimenopausal and menopausal women. Helping them with levels of exercise that suite their needs using her nursing expertise and empathy.

Sam says she wants women to "understand what is going on with their bodies as they are going through the perimenopause and menopause, so they can eat and exercise better". She added " It could be that fifteen minute workouts are more effective than endurance training for a lot of women". "It is important they find something designed for them so that they stick at the exercise to enhance ageing". Sam works closely wth other experts in the field to give a well rounded approach to women's fitness.

She is adamant that exercise is "none negotiable, if women want to have a healthy, vibrant, active, older age".
