PERIMENOFIT

Strong and Sculpted
in Perimenopause

Get Leaner, Stronger, Fitter, and More Powerful even while your hormones are changing!

Perimenopause is an important transition in our lives and spans the 5-10 year period before our menstrual cycle stops (menopause). One of its hallmarks is changes in our estrogen and progesterone, both their levels with one another (imbalances) and their slow decline.

These changes can make you feel like your body is a stranger to you, it’s not responding like it used to, you have more aches and pains, and starts to create a host of compounding symptoms like energy imbalance, weight gain, muscle loss, hot flashes, dry skin and more.

PerimenoFIt. PerimenoFIt.

This phase of life should be one we’re talking about more, and being supported in more - but it’s very underserved and under-represented.

You deserve better. And you deserve to FEEL better.

The more we know, the more effectively we can act to manage the hormone shifts, lose body fat, support our valuable muscle tissue, bone density, energy balance, and sense of self.

PerimenoFIt.

I see Perimenopause like a rite of passage, a doorway we pass through into the next level of our lives as women.

We’ve earned the wisdom of our years so far, and we’re going to set ourselves up in this phase of life to enjoy what comes next in strong, fit bodies that are capable and resilient...

So let’s get PERIMENO-FIT!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in PerimenoFit?

PerimenoFit is an 8-week progressive strength training program designed for women in perimenopause, and includes a cookbook with protein-forward, fiber-rich recipes.

The program includes a Perimenopause Essentials Guide that covers:

  • Perimenopause, explained
  • Perimenopause training strategies: type and tempo
  • Proactive self care practices
  • Low impact daily actions that add up
  • How gut health supports your hormones
  • How protein impacts your body composition
  • Sleep and stress resilience in perimenopause

The workout program includes resistance training options for you – whether you want to begin with your own bodyweight and gravity for resistance, to work with home workout equipment for resistance, or to use heavier equipment for resistance. There is a separate video each day with a specific follow along workout class for the option that best suits you:

  • Bodyweight: a towel, an elevated surface (chair, ottoman, etc)
  • Home equipment: dumbbells, an optional exercise ball, an elevated surface (chair, ottoman, etc), optional stretchy bands
  • Heavier equipment: dumbbells, a barbell and weight plates, exercise ball, pull up bar, bands

The workout program also includes:

  • warmup and cooldown videos around each workout (filmed separately so you’re in control of having the option to use them, time permitting)
  • 4:00 plyometric/explosive cardio tabata sessions at the start of each strength training workout (filmed separately so you’re in control on days you have less energy and can skip the explosive cardio that day. These videos always show low impact options as well)
  • mobility and yoga videos for your non-training days to improve your flexibility, joint health and muscle response
  • calming breathing activities once a week to support your nervous system and stress response
  • tracking sheets so you can track your workout progress as you go

This is a progressive overload style training program. That means that the workouts repeat week by week for some weeks, and then get added onto as you go, so you can incrementally get stronger and challenge yourself against a progressively more challenging load – adding more reps or more weight. The rep ranges suggested help you get comfortable and options to increase the challenge are suggested.

In perimenopause, we need to provide an effective stimulus to our muscle tissue in order for the body to adapt and respond. That means you want to make the workouts tough for yourself by finding the right amount of resistance to work against. A workout creates an inflammatory response, and in perimenopause we don’t “bounce back” and recover as quickly as we used to, due to lower hormone levels.

This is why the recovery days and self care pieces become really important to pay attention to, and will help you see better results in the long term than training nonstop (which can lead to a constant state of inflammation that makes you lose more muscle and store more body fat).

The program is designed with the option to train with either 3 main higher volume training days per week or 4, and you can take either option (or use the program twice taking a different option each time). You can use the program as many times as you like, once you get it it’s yours to keep.

The cookbook offers 50 recipes for breakfast, smoothies, entrees (lunch or dinner) and snacks that are protein-forward and rich in gut friendly fiber. It includes Vegetarian meal options.

In perimenopause, our needs for protein go up a bit for two reasons: one, as we age, we don’t absorb the amino acids in the protein foods we eat as easily, meaning we need a little more protein than we used to in order to do all the tasks the body needs it for. Examples include cognitive function, hormone and enzyme function, immune health and muscle repair and regrowth. If your body can’t find the amino acids is needs circulating from your last meal, it breaks down your muscle tissue to get the stored aminos there. If we constantly break down our muscle without enough rebuilding opportunities, our metabolism slows and we’re more prone to fat storage.

The second reason we need a bit more protein in perimenopause than we used to is because our hormone levels are lowering, and this can make us more prone to muscle loss unless we’re mindfully eating and training in ways that support its preservation (all of the things you’ll gain access to in the PerimenoFit program to give you an advantage over this process).

All  of the meals in the program contain a more optimized amount of protein (including the Vegetarian recipes) and show you how you can translate this to any recipe you’re making. It’s quite easy to do, and all the nutrient information for all the recipes is included in the guide in the protein cheat sheet section.

The recipes also contain plenty of fiber to support your gut health. Gut health is really important to pay attention to in perimenopause, as many essential functions from hormone balance to nutrient absorption happens in our gut and relies on a balanced microbiome. Lower levels of estrogen make us more sensitive to regulating our blood sugar response, and mindful nourishment goes a long way to supporting the many hormones that work together to help us feel our best.

You can use these recipes as a foundation to build on, as perimenopause is a transition between our cycling years and post menopause and getting enough protein will help support holding onto our muscle tissue, lose body fat, preserve our bone density and giving us the building blocks needed for many other body functions as well. Eating fiber-rich whole food carbohydrate sources will support your energy and your gut health, which is an important center for processing our hormones and keeping them balanced.

As a special bonus, you’ll also get the first 30 days of entrees from My Dinner Plan, to give you even more tasty options to explore.

How do we need to train differently in perimenopause?

Some of the things that will help your body respond optimally to your workouts in perimenopause are:

  • making your training sessions sufficiently challenging for yourself
  • providing your body with enough recovery to repair and come back stronger from those tough workouts
  • eating enough of the right nutrients around your workouts to support repair and recovery
  • being proactive with your self care and stretching to support your joints

Resistance training and explosive cardio/plyometrics are two of the most effective ways to add volume to your workout and challenge yourself effectively when you’re training.

Of course resistance training is subjective to each of us. As you build strength, the things that felt heavy when you started will later feel light – but you have to build yourself up over time. PerimenoFit offers you multiple options to start where you’re at (bodyweight, home equipment, heavier equipment).

Explosive cardio isn’t the same thing as endless cardio. You’ll often hear people say “cardio is bad for menopause because it elevates our cortisol.” Any workout that you do at intensity, including resistance training, elevates your cortisol. The body responds and recovers and comes back strong again. The issue with perimenopause is that we’re more sensitive to our cortisol response because we have lower hormone levels. So overdoing it (with cardio OR any type of training) means we struggle to recover and see results.

This is where the short explosive cardio comes into play, and makes a great counterpoint to the resistance training. It’s short in duration, and taxes your system efficiently in a short, typically timed session. It loads your joints and improves the strength of your fast-twitch muscle fiber and bones. It improves your cardiovascular health. It also helps increase fat loss.

Perimenopause means we’re in transition. Our energy levels fluctuate. Some days we won’t feel up to any type of explosive movement. The beauty of PerimenoFit is that the short cardio blast is filmed separately and at the start of the workout. On days you have less energy, you can skip it and just opt for the resistance training instead. That way you can flex the program with what feels right to you on any given day.

A workout creates an inflammatory response that the body has to repair and recover from in order to build muscle. Training too often at any age prevents this process from happening efficiently. But in perimenopause, our lowering hormone levels mean we don’t recover as effectively or as quickly as we used to. So it becomes essential to follow a well-balanced training structure where we can recover well from the workouts we do.

That structure can look many different ways. In PerimenoFit, you get 2 complete program options. One includes a M-W-F training schedule, with self care and stretching videos in between your higher volume training days. The other is more of a M-Tu/Th-F training schedule. You can experiment to see what works best for you. The important thing is to give your body enough time to recover, and surround your workouts with the supporting actions that enable it to repair, build muscle and support fat loss.

Some of those supporting actions include what you eat, others will be supporting your nervous system response, others may be things that go beyond this workout program, like support for your hormones from a doctor. Suggestions and resources are provided.

What about cardio in perimenopause and my cortisol levels?

I totally understand how confusing it is to hear “don’t do cardio, it raises your cortisol,” and here I am saying “we’re combining resistance training with explosive cardio in perimenopause.” So I wanted to explain how it works, and how you’re ultimately in control with PerimenoFit.

Every workout we do (whether it’s resistance training or cardio) creates a cortisol response, it’s just that we’re not as resilient to the impacts of cortisol in perimenopause due to lower levels of hormones. We still want to challenge our bodies at this life stage, we just want to do it more mindfully and take appropriate recovery as well.

Resistance training is an aerobic form of exercise – our heart rate goes up, especially when we’re really pushing some weight! But when it comes to “cardio,” which we tend to think of as running, elliptical, or any form of exercise that we get our heart rates up that’s not specifically “weight lifting” a lot of women are just overdoing it without enough recovery, and without much resistance training in the mix – and too much of it can leave the body subject to a greater cortisol load than it can handle as easily.

That’s why a lot of people will tell you “don’t do cardio in perimenopause.” If we’re a little more sensitive to the cortisol response, too much cardio will set us back and make it harder to recover. But that is actually true of any kind of training. Too much training in general will make it harder for us to recover and undermine the results we hope to see – because any form of strenuous exercise is a form of stress to our body.

Finding that sweet spot in perimenopause is why we have custom training schedules, and why we focus on training types that give us “more bang for our buck,” as in are highly effective and efficient.  Namely, resistance training where we’re working hard against a load, and explosive cardio which is short in duration and high volume in nature so we get a fast response and all the benefits in a shorter amount of time.

Exercise may be a stress to the body, but it can be a healthy form of stress when we’re recovered and ready for action. In perimenopause, we just have to be more mindful of actually being well recovered before we train than we used to be. In our cycling years, we could bounce back from the inflammatory load created by our workouts more quickly, due to higher levels of hormones. We also weren’t as sensitive to the impact of cortisol as we are now. This just means we need to make the most of our training sessions, and have a thoughtful plan that gives us the recovery we need to maximize our workout results.

PerimenoFit includes an ideal training schedule so you will recover well around your training sessions. It pairs longer low impact resistance training/strength training with short, explosive cardio workouts. The explosive cardio sessions are 4:00 tabatas, filmed separately from the strength training sessions – giving you complete control over how you use them. You can completely leave them out if your nervous system needs a reset, or you’re having a lower energy day. And conversely, you can double them up if you’re feeling spicy and raring to go! You’re in control.

I suggest taking a break from long, slower, or more distance cardio on multiple days a week in favor of more resistance/strength training, and more of the explosive cardio varieties.

Is this program ok if I’m a beginner/intermediate/advanced?

This program has multiple options, making it a great option regardless of your fitness level.

Beginner:

  • If you’re a beginner, or coming back to fitness after some time off, the bodyweight track is a great way to rebuild a strong base and apply all of the perimenopause training principles. Once you complete the program, you may choose to use it again with the home equipment version, adding in some weights – or exploring one of my other programs that uses weights and offers a custom perimenopause track.

Intermediate:

  • If you’re intermediate, you’ve got some training experience and likely access to some equipment. You can use any of the options provided – whether you happen to be traveling and need to use a bodyweight class one week, or you’ve got equipment available to use at home (or you’re in a gym). Using your dumbbells you can work within the suggested rep ranges and ramp up the challenge to your body over the course of the program.
  • If you find that the dumbbells you have aren’t sufficiently challenging for you at some point, you may want to get access to some heavier equipment like a barbell and weight plates to help you challenge yourself further. The program also offers suggestions to lower the rep ranges so you’ll increase the amount of resistance used, and options to make the workouts more challenging in other ways if you find yourself wanting more.

Advanced:

  • If you’re more advanced, you’ve got more training experience and are likely more comfortable with reps, rep ranges and using a variety of equipment. The heavier equipment track will be ideal for you to start with. While the program is shown in an 8-12 rep range, this is just to give the full spectrum of demonstration to anyone who is starting out. Suggestions for going lower in the rep range (6-10 is the next step down, then 4-6) are included for you so you can increase your training volume as it feels appropriate.
  • You’ll also have access to two different training sequences, the 3-day or the 4-day week. You may prefer the 4 day as it’s a little higher in volume if you’re well-conditioned going into this program. Rest and recovery are still important for you, as you likely know – so pace yourself and use the suggestions in the program to increase or decrease the workout intensity on any given day.
How long do the workouts take?

Depending on which track you choose (bodyweight, home equipment or gym equipment – and you can switch whenever you like) the workout length varies slightly.

  • Bodyweight workouts: 20-25 min (plus optional 4:00 cardio blast, warmup and cooldown stretch)
  • Home equipment workouts 25-30 min (plus optional 4:00 cardio blast, warmup and cooldown stretch)
  • Heavier equipment workouts 35-40 min (plus optional 4:00 cardio blast, warmup and cooldown stretch)

Workout days also include a 4 minute explosive cardio session that you can elect to do or not, your choice and depending on your energy balance that day.

Workouts also contain an optional warmup and cooldown video that you can elect to use or skip, depending on your time and needs. Those are between 3-5 minutes long.

Mobility and yoga classes are also included to use on your recovery days, and are all between 20-25 minutes in length.

What equipment do I need?

Depending on the track you choose for your resistance training, your needs will vary. Here’s what you’ll need for:

  • Bodyweight workouts: occasionally a towel, an elevated surface like the side of your couch or a chair, or folded up towels
  • Home workout equipment workouts: dumbbells, stretchy bands, an optional exercise ball and an elevated surface like the side of a couch or chair
  • Gym equipment workouts: dumbbells, barbells and weight plates, bands, a high bar (for pull ups – options shown to build up to them), and a bench or elevated surface.
What kind of foods are included in the cookbook?

The PerimenoFit Cookbook offers 50 recipes for breakfast, smoothies, entrees (lunch or dinner) and snacks that are protein-forward and rich in gut friendly fiber. The recipes are gluten free and mostly dairy free.* For every recipe that contains meat or fish, I’ve created a companion Vegetarian recipe** that contains a balanced protein profile, so you have lots of options if you choose to not eat meat or fish.

In perimenopause, our needs for protein go up a bit for two reasons: one, as we age, we don’t absorb the amino acids in the protein foods we eat as easily, meaning we need a little more protein than we used to in order to do all the tasks the body needs it for.

Examples include cognitive function, hormone and enzyme function, immune health and muscle repair and regrowth. If your body can’t find the amino acids is needs circulating from your last meal, it breaks down your muscle tissue to get the stored aminos there. If we constantly break down our muscle without enough rebuilding opportunities, our metabolism slows and we’re more prone to fat storage.

All  of the meals in the program contain a more optimized amount of protein (including the Vegetarian recipes) and show you how you can translate this to any recipe you’re making. It’s quite easy to do, and all the nutrient information for all the recipes is included in the guide in the protein cheat sheet section.

The recipes also contain plenty of fiber to support your gut health. Gut health is really important to pay attention to in perimenopause, as many essential functions from hormone balance to nutrient absorption happens in our gut and relies on a balanced microbiome. Lower levels of estrogen make us more sensitive to regulating our blood sugar response, and mindful nourishment goes a long way to supporting the many hormones that work together to help us feel our best.

As a special bonus, you’ll also get the first 30 days of entrees from My Dinner Plan, to give you even more tasty options to explore.

You can change these recipes to suit you, they are not rules you must follow, just suggested options to help you set up a good foundation for eating in this life stage. While regions do vary in what is available, the ingredients in the program are typically quite easy to find. I encourage you to swap out seasonal ingredients when you can.

You’re not required to make the recipes exactly as I’ve written them, – feel free to change it up based on what’s available, your preferences, or any allergies/intolerance you may have.

*Dairy-free refers to no milk products. In a few recipes, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese is suggested as an add-on but can also be omitted if you do not tolerate dairy well.
**This program is not vegan.

Can I do this program if I’m post-menopause?

Absolutely you can. While my focus in this program is educating about perimenopause and the way our hormones change during this life stage, things follow a similar path once we get to the postmenopausal years and our estrogen and progesterone levels drop off.

Learning to train and nourish ourselves optimally in perimenopause sets us up for stronger postmenopausal years, and the workout, nutrition and recovery strategies we want to start using in perimenopause are also what will serve you postmenopause as well. You could use this program with tremendous success, as these strategies will also support you.

Can I do this program if I’m on HRT? What if I’ve had a hysterectomy?

Yes, you can do this program (and benefit from it!) if you’re on HRT.

If you are currently receiving hormone therapy, that doesn’t change what life stage you are in. For instance, if you’re in perimenopause and on hormones, you’re still in perimenopause. If you’re in post menopause and on hormones, you’re still post-menopause. The recommendations for your life stage when it comes to training and eating don’t change, even if you’re using some hormone replacement therapy.

If our body is a big machine with lots of dials that can be fine-tuned, HRT is one of the dials. Exercise is one of the dials. Nutrition is one of the dials.

What changes in peri and post menopause are the settings for those dials. When our body is no longer producing hormones naturally, we need to adjust the way we train and eat, and if we can also get some HRT in the mix it just makes everything work better. If we only take HRT and don’t also adjust our training structure and eating to the right settings, that HRT dial is trying to do all the work by itself. The same could be true with diet and exercise. If we dial in those factors without any support for our hormones, those strategies will work – but they may take a little longer than for someone who is also using hormone replacement therapy.

Can I use this program if I’ve had a hysterectomy?

Yes, you can absolutely use this program, and it will benefit you. Removing the uterus doesn’t typically change your hormone cycles as the hormones are predominantly made in the ovaries. So following the balanced training laid out in PerimenoFit is a great way to support the fluctuating and lower hormone levels that come along with perimenopause.

What if I’ve had my ovaries removed?

If you have had your ovaries removed, this means you’re post menopause. “Surgically post-menopause” is the correct term, because the hormones we need to cycle are mostly made in the ovaries. Once our period stops naturally (due to the ovaries no longer producing eggs), we are post menopause. So if the ovaries are removed, we’re also post menopause. The program would also work great for you, as everything we want to do in perimenopause helps to set us up for the best practices we’ll follow post-menopause as well.

Can I incorporate PerimenoFit with my current exercise routine or recreational activities?

I suggest not pairing this program with another exercise program, however it may be fine to do it alongside recreational activities you enjoy, with some potential modifications to the plan (suggestions below).

We typically don’t recommend combining training programs because this program has been designed to challenge specific muscles on certain days, then rest them effectively in preparation of the next workout.

If you don’t rest enough, you won’t get results – and this is more true than ever in perimenopause. If you don’t train effectively (as in “hard”) in the workouts you do, you also won’t get results – and if you come to your training tired or your body is still dealing with the inflammation created from your last session you can’t output as much energy.

The program offers lots of options to customize it to make it more (or less challenging) to suit exactly where you’re at. For instance, you are in control of whether or not you do the explosive cardio on any given day, as those videos are filmed separately.  You have the option to change the rep range for the workouts (i.e. working in a lower rep range means your weight will increase). Plus, there is a bodyweight version, a dumbbells version and a barbell and weight plates version of each workout, enabling you to work out at your current level and with what you have available as you build strength.

If you’ve heard it said that you need to “lift heavy sh!t” in your menopause years, this is 100% true! Remember that “heavy” is subjective to each of us, and we have to meet ourselves where we’re at and build up safely on a strong foundation, which is my specialty. Dr. Stacy Sims has been on my podcast talking about this very thing.

When it comes to your recreational activities, I have a few tips in keeping with what we just went over.

If you enjoy running (or another type of cardio activity), I would leave the explosive cardio out of the workouts on your scheduled training days from the program, and add in your running on those days. That way your body gets its stimulus on the same days and plenty of recovery in between. You may need to make other modifications to the training schedule depending on how your body feels, and how well you recover. Remember, overtraining is not our friend in perimenopause.

If you enjoy hiking or a more low impact type of sport, you kind of have to feel it out. If you hike all weekend, you may need to take a recovery day (or two) at the beginning of the week rather than diving straight into your workout on Monday. You’ll get better results (especially in perimenopause) when you recover effectively after strenuous activity.

You are not missing out on getting results or messing up your program taking additional recovery days, or changing the calendar to suit your activities. Remember, the program was written without any of your activities in mind, so you will need to modify it if you are adding things in.

How is this program different from your other programs?

You still get lots of me, with all the follow along workout vids with form and alignment guidance that you know and love! But I went one step further with this one, you get 3 video options for each workout: one with just your bodyweight, one with home workout equipment like dumbbells, and one with heavier equipment like barbells. So anyone who gets the program can start with what they have and progress.

The program is also specifically formatted in one of the best sequences for perimenopause – and includes another bonus calendar scheduled sequence that is also ideal. The workouts combine explosive cardio and low impact resistance/strength training. What’s cool is that you can opt in or out of the cardio on any given day since it’s at the beginning – in perimenopause our energy levels tend to fluctuate a lot, so it’s good to have that option.

I also provide a lot of education about the perimenopause journey, which is not in any of my other programs, so that once you complete it you’ll have a way deeper understanding of the entire process and know exactly how to train moving forward (if you have other programs of mine, they have likely been upgraded in a way that would be beneficial to you as well and include more options that address the menopause years).

This program also has a cookbook with recipes optimized for perimenopause to help you get just a little more protein, plus show you how easy that is to do. They’re all rich in fiber and whole food based.

So yes, this program is similar to my other programs in quality and follow along workout videos, professional workout programming and all the other things I deliver, but it is specific to perimenopause with unique guidelines, bonus gifts, a unique workout plan and unique recipes.

How long will I have access to my program?

Once you purchase this program, it’s yours to keep and use again as many times as you like!

How do I access my program, and how soon will I get it?

You will get your program shortly after you make your purchase! Once you check out, the Betty Rocker system goes to work right away. It generates a secure password for you and emails you your personal login and password information within 5-10 minutes. It sends this to the email address you used when you made your purchase.

Your program is digital, and does not get shipped in the mail. You’ll be able to access it with your personal login and password, using the link sent in your welcome email.

Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your program and you can access it anytime, from any device you’re on with your login and password! If you made your purchase while you were already logged into the dashboard, simply log out and log back in to refresh your purchases and unlock your new program.

Already got your program but having trouble finding your login information?

If you don’t see your welcome email within 5-10 minutes or so of making your purchase, it may have gone to spam, or junk, or an “other” box depending on your email service provider (or there could have been a simple typo in your email address when entered).

Do a search of your junk and spam folders, and if you can’t find it, do reach out to my friendly customer support team, who is looking forward to helping you at support@thebettyrocker.com. They’re online 7 days a week to assist.

If you used Paypal to make your purchase, and there is a different email address associated with that account, your login details may be sent to that email, so be sure to check if that’s not the email you use normally.

We can easily look your order up in our system, and are more than happy to re-send your email, merge your email addresses if you’ve used more than one to make purchases in the past, or do anything to support you that we can.
