Tipsy Ellipses: October 2021, featuring Maria Luque, PhD
If you’ve followed us for any time, and have ever joined us for a Tipsy Ellipses episode, you know that usually, we sit – cocktail in hand – and talk with our guests. Not this month! For October’s Tipsy episode, we grabbed water bottles and spandex, left our comfort zones behind, and talked Fitness in Menopause with Dr. Maria Luque.
It was so much fun! Maria is knowledgeable (understatement), funny, and warm. She has such a positive energy, and by the end of the episode we were feeling excited about menopause. That’s right. Excited. Encouraged. Emboldened.
Maria walked us through some simple, no-equipment-needed exercises that we can all do every day. We also talked about mental health and nutrition needs in menopause.
Back to those exercises… if you have never checked out our YouTube channel, now is the time. For one thing, you will get to see us look pretty silly as we attempt exercises while conducting an interview. More importantly, though, you can see Maria properly demo those exercises.
We recommend checking out Maria’s social channels (links below) for daily health and fitness information. We’ve been following her for a while now, and look forward to her posts every day.
