An honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise as a way of safeguarding our quality of life into older age.
An honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise as a way of safeguarding our quality of life into older age.
Did you know that muscle mass decreases approximately 3-8% per decade after the age of 30 for both men and women, unless we act to mitigate it? Or that osteoporosis affects one in three women over the age of 50 worldwide, an estimated 200 million women in total? Or that coronary heart disease, the main cause of heart attacks, was the single biggest killer of women worldwide in 2019?
For too long, social media and the fitness industry have prioritised aesthetics over our health, leaving us with a difficult relationship with exercise and body image while being surrounded by an influx of misinformation. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, or worse, give up on your fitness journey altogether...
Introducing Training For Your Old Lady Body: an honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise as a way of safeguarding our quality of life into older age; moving our bodies now in a way which sets us up to stay strong, active, independent, and resilient as we grow older. This is not a six-week bikini body transformation; this is a way of training for life.
Elizabeth will make the case for why we need to rewrite the narrative around women's fitness and how we can change our behaviour and form new habits. With a focus on:
- Muscle and strength
- Bone mineral density
- Heart health
- The pelvic floor
- Mobility, flexibility, and stability
This is a groundbreaking, urgent call-to-arms designed to get women moving with a focus on the bigger picture.

She also a Teaching Assistant to Antony Lo, world-renowned physiotherapist, on his ground-breaking The Female Athlete course. Elizabeth's qualifications, combined with her own experience as a working mum-of-three and as someone who came to strength training for the first time in her 30s, gives her a really unique, practical insight into the challenges that women face in establishing a fitness routine, whether that's exercising boundaries, fearing injury, navigating pelvic floor dysfunction or struggling with caring responsibilities.
