FREE Online Workouts Available on my YouTube Channel @MenofitwithShelley

Wellness Within Menofit with Shelley is a weekly class where we will do light exercise to help lift our moods by releasing the happy endorphins in the brain. We will also work weekly on numerous mobility exercises to help with sore joints, again from menopause symptoms. Relaxation techniques & exercises to help clear our minds & restore clarity. And of course weekly discussions we can all interact in & help each other through our menopause journey. You don't need to be fit at any level to attend this class.

I can totally appreciate a fitness environment may seem a very daunting place if you are totally unfit & especially if your confidence & self-esteem are at an all time low, but I promise you ladies if you make the journey through the door just once you will help yourself to a quicker & brighter future. Remember you will be in a room surrounded by ladies just the same as you, including myself. I really hope you make the move & look forward to meeting you soon Shelley xx

Welcome to Wellness Within & Menofit with Shelley, a programme based around fitness & support for women entering into peri/menopause or simply looking to reconnect with their mind and body again.

My journey began in 2010 when I was 33. I came off my contraceptive pill to start a family only to encounter numerous problems. My body completely changed almost overnight. My periods became sporadic, I had urinary infection after urinary infection, my libido dropped, my confidence hit an all time low & I became ill every month around my monthly cycle. I had visit after visit to the family planning clinic & doctors where I was constantly being told all was in my head. But I knew my own body & that something wasn't right. Myself & my husband ended up having IVF which is where I discovered I had a very low ovarian reserve & things started to make sense a little more. (I did go on to have my little miracle baby boy)

Unfortunately like many women out there I was not educated enough about premature, peri or menopause so never recognised any of these symptoms as being anything related to the menopause. Unfortunately our Doctors are also not educated enough either. I'm now 46 and have been on HRT since October 2019 where all my symptoms are now manageable & I feel a lot more like me again.

RELAXATION/MEDIATATION & BREATHING METHODS

You can enter in peri-menopause anytime from the age of 40!

Symptoms can creep up on you over a period of time or hit you in one big hit. The most common symptoms are Irregular Periods - They may become irregular, really light or heavy to the point of flooding. Fatigue - Many women complain of feeling more tired than usual. Mood Swings - these can feel alot more extreme to what you would usually feel during your periods. Brain Fog/Memory Loss - How many of us women just put this down to 'going mad'? Do you find yourself always saying "God I can't remember anything these days" or walking into a room & totally forgetting what you went in for. Weight Gain - yoyo dieting finally catches up, nothing seems to be shifting the weight, especially around the mid-riff. Low Mood/Lack of Confidence - You suddenly have gone from the soul of the party to not wanting to leave the house. These are just a few I would say you would never really put down to a change in hormones.

Menopause is when you have not had a period/bleed for 12 months - The day after 12 months you are then Post Menopause for life!

Menopause is not a disease, it's simply a transition we all go through. Stand tall, Own it & Together we can sort it!
