It's never too late! No matter what your age, this is a must listen because we're all getting older, but that doesn't mean we can't be fit and strong and reach our physique goals, even as we go through menopause.

Susan Niebergall is a Personal Trainer and Strength Coach. She is 60 and living proof that anything is possible at any age. She has a passion for helping people, specifically helping people attain their fitness goals, and she loves empowering people in the gym and in their life–especially middle-aged women!

In this episode we discuss Susan's fitness journey, which really got serious only 6 years ago. She tells us how she was "doing everything right", but thought menopause was holding her back from reaching her goals. As it turns out, that was NOT the issue, she just had to get brutally honest with herself and what she was doing.

We also dive into her philosophy when it comes to nutrition. I love how she simplifies it in a way that is doable for everyone. 

My favorite part of the podcast is when Susan explains that people need to be more focused on the effort they are putting in, rather than the results they want. And also why the generation we work with (40 - 60 year old women) is the hardest group to coach.

Other highlights include: 

How she uses the scale and how her relationship with the scale has changed

How she came to be partners with Jordan Syatt

Why rest days are so important, especially as we get older

What exercises do we need to be doing as we get older (spoiler alert, nothing different)

Why it's OK to have physique goals

How training in the gym helped her feel better through menopause

This episode is a reminder that you are in control of your life, if you simply take complete and extreme ownership.
