Hello Linda and team!
I am new here, but have been consistent with exercise 6 days per week (about an hour per day) for 30 years. I'm almost 51 and have really been struggling with perimenopause/weight gain/puffiness. My nutrition is clean and focused on lean protein, plenty of organic nutrient dense whole foods, and a balance that is best for me. Over the years I had to decrease running due to injuries. I walk daily (fast/moderate pace intervals or hills outside) and am active at work and with our 2 teens. My workouts have been Pilates, yoga, strength, and everything in between. I've done SO many online platforms over the years: Tracy Anderson, DanceBody, yoga and Pilates specific, dance cardio, strength with heavy weights, bands, HIIT, etc... I know my body well and I bulk very easily. When I lift heavier weights the result is a much thicker build than I like (along with decreased flexibility, increased joint pain).

My physical goals are very much like yours, Linda! Lean, light, strong, feminine, defined, tight/toned, confident, flexible, vibrant, and energetic. Do you have suggestions for me to decrease the hormonal weight gain/puffiness? I struggle mostly with my lower half and would love to lean out/slim down. I'm happy to put in the work and would love a plan to reach my goals without wasting time on methods that don't deliver. I did my first Signature class and love how it felt - weight transfers, proprioception, brain engagement, fluid flows are my favorites! I workout consistently for many reasons - particularly longevity, health, strength, and mobility.

Thank you very much for your help! :)
