Embracing Holistic Health: The Importance of Fitness, Nutrition, and Accountability for Women Over 35

As women age, the significance of maintaining an active lifestyle, embracing proper nutrition, and holding oneself accountable increases markedly. This is particularly true for women over 35, who may face unique health challenges and lifestyle shifts. This blog explores why fitness, nutrition, and accountability are not just beneficial but essential for women in this age group, and how Studio Fit Chicago’s semi-private personal training program is designed to support their success.

The Essential Pillar of Fitness

Fitness after 35 does more than keep the body looking good—it’s a crucial component for maintaining bone density, muscular mass, and cardiovascular health. As women transition into perimenopause and menopause, regular physical activity helps mitigate symptoms such as weight gain, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Studio Fit Chicago’s approach in semi-private personal training ensures that women receive personalized attention from certified women’s health and fitness experts. These experts tailor exercises to accommodate any level of fitness and specific health needs, making it safe and effective for women to stay active without feeling overwhelmed.

Daily Tip: Incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate activity into your daily routine. Whether it’s a brisk walk in Lincoln Park or a structured workout session at Studio Fit Chicago, consistency is so important to maintaining physical health.

The Pillar of Nutrition

Nutrition plays a transformative role in the lives of women over 35. Hormonal changes can significantly impact metabolism and nutritional needs; thus, a diet rich in calcium, iron, and fiber becomes increasingly important. At Studio Fit Chicago, nutrition isn’t just about eating less—it’s about eating right. Our program includes detailed guidance on nutrition that complements physical training, helping women manage their weight and energy levels more effectively. By understanding what, when, and how to eat, women can significantly improve their health outcomes.

Daily Tip: Plan your meals ahead of time to include a variety of nutrients in your diet. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, lean proteins, and whole grains can help combat age-related metabolic slowdown and provide sustained energy throughout the day. We can customize a nutrition plan specifically for you, your lifestyle and overall health factors.

The Pillar of Accountability

Accountability is often the linchpin in successful fitness and nutrition regimens. Knowing that someone—be it a coach, trainer, or a peer—is there to support and monitor your progress can make all the difference. Studio Fit Chicago cultivates an intimate and supportive community environment where each member’s goals are taken seriously. The semi-private nature of their training means that clients are not just a number; they receive customized attention and are part of a community that holds each other accountable, providing motivation and encouragement.

Daily Tip: Keep a journal of your fitness and dietary habits, or use a mobile app to track your progress. Sharing these goals and achievements with your trainer or a workout buddy can further enhance your commitment to your health goals. Health and Wellness Director, Reyna Hoerdeman and Trainer, Tiffany Richards will be there to make sure you’re committed to the plans you/we put in place.
