What is the Midi Moves program?
Midi Moves is a 30 day program designed for anyone during mid-life and menopause who is ready to improve their health, movement and activity for life.
Designed to address 3 important aspects of menopause and exercise identified by females within She Community - the three top reasons they have not been able to start an activity, movement or exercise program:
“I don’t know how exercise will help me”
“I don’t know where to start”
“Im too fatigued/tired”
These aspects were identified as the three most common reasons that females indicated in a She Community wide survey conducted at the end of 2024.
Based on this the Midi Moves program has been developed to help you increase your:
Knowledge of exercise - you will learn how it will help your menopause symptoms, mid-life health and be able to assist in preventing future chronic conditions
Self-efficacy and independence with movement and exercise - you will be able to independently start and progress your daily movement quantity and quality
Energy levels and sleep quality - you will learn how to increase energy by improving sleep and managing daily activities and tasks well
30 days of:
Knowledge and education - 2 days per week to focus on the “why” for exercise and menopause
Exercise and movement ideas, meeting you where you are at now - 2 days per week to focus on the “how” for starting, progressing and being consistent
Energy and fatigue management tips - 2 days of education on how to manage daily tasks and responsibilities around your energy needs and how to improve sleep
Daily information on the above via email
1 x weekly 20 minute group on-line catch up with me, Kathy, to answer any questions, provide any advice and tips - this will be on-line on a Saturday morning - designed to reflect on the week gone and plan for the week ahead - these will be recorded if you are unable to make it
