  Fitness and health are very important to you, theoretically, but you can't seem to get as healthy or fit as you think you should be. You may be a yo-yo dieter or a serial gym-or-yoga-studio joiner—and when those self-improvement plans don’t pan out, you blame yourself. Negativity is no fun, but you don’t know how else to motivate yourself. You’d benefit from a training program that starts with re-evaluating your attitude toward fitness.My name is Dr. Maria Luque.

  You’ve been active in one way or another for many years, everything from yard work to triathlons. When you get bored or uninspired, you try something new. You need mental stimulation along with your physical activities—you’re more likely to run outdoors with a friend than indoors on a treadmill. You may have struggled with body-image issues in the past, but growing older has led to increased self-acceptance. You’d benefit from learning how to incorporate menopause-specific fitness into your free-spirited routine.My name is Dr. Maria Luque.

  You're the... The Taskmaster, The Put-Me-In-Coach-er

  Your idea of fitness dates back to a time when you were a serious, perhaps competitive, athlete. That built-in motivation was easier for you than adult fitness has proven to be—your all-or-nothing attitude doesn't get you the results it used to. Still, you know how to push yourself to get the most out of your body. You may struggle with body image, especially as you approach or enter menopause. You’d like the support of a fitness community. But what you really want is to get your groove back. You’d benefit from a fitness program with an emphasis on exercise as self-care.My name is Dr. Maria Luque.

  You're the... The Good Citizen, The After-You-er

  Image Source

  You’ve participated in some form of exercise most of your life. You're more likely to join a friend for group classes or workouts than to investigate your own fitness preferences or work out alone. You’re tough and dependable—you don’t complain about hard workouts and you almost always show up. In fact, your innate toughness sometimes keeps you from listening to your body. You’ve been injured more than once because you overtrained or ignored the pain, or because you put someone else’s needs before your own. You sometimes feel mystified by the way menopause and aging affect your body. You’d benefit from learning a proactive, customized approach to fitness in menopause.My name is Dr. Maria Luque.
