Bodypositive: I learn to love my body as it is

How do you accept your body as it is?
In several stages, I learn to look at myself as I am, without judgement and cultivate gratitude for what my body allows me
to accomplish, I list the parts I like, and I am compassionate with myself. By seeing my body for what it is, far from the
unattainable standards dictated by society, I make peace with myself and learn to love myself for what I am.

I set up my home fitness gym at home

How do I set up a fitness area at home?
Creating a fitness room at home is a motivating project, which helps me create more space for exercise in my daily life. I
envisage a warm, well-ventilated and bright room with enough space to hold my equipment without having to put it all
away at the end of the sessions. I can equip myself with a folding treadmill or a connected fitness mirror for training like a
pro!

alone with my questions and doubts. If I live confidently, menopause is an opportunity to lay the foundations for a lifestyle in which my well-being comes first. All imaginable possibilities are open to me!
