2. Listen to Your Body, Not Your Birth Certificate

Your age doesn’t define your strength—your energy does.
Adjust workouts based on how you feel each day.
What worked at 25 might not suit your 45-year-old self.
Rest when needed; recover well to avoid burnout.
Perimenopause and hormonal shifts affect your rhythm.
Adaptation is strength—not a sign of weakness.
Pay attention to energy, soreness, and motivation.
Honor your body’s wisdom as it evolves.
