Hey Reader, I have big news. For the past 8 weeks, I've been working really hard on something and I've been itching to tell you about it, but I had to keep it under wraps until today. I BUILT AN APP! And it's finally available for everyone who wants to use it, today. My app is called Strength in Midlife -- A Daily Movement App for Aging Well. I created this app for women in perimenopause (and also those who are postmenopausal), who want to feel stronger as they get older by building a daily...

quick note: in a week, I will be changing which email you receive these newsletters from. Starting next Sunday/Monday, you'll receive emails from naomi@naomigottliebmiller.com! Hey Reader, I spent the weekend mostly offline and mostly with my kids. I am soloparenting for a week and after a busy (but fun) Saturday, my oldest decided that for Mother's Day, she was going to create a spa in my bathroom. So the 4 of us soaked our feet in bubbly bath water, wore face masks, and then decadently...

Hey Reader, You've gotten a lot of emails from me in the last 10 days, so I'm going to keep this brief. My brand new app, Strength in Midlife, is on sale through midnight tonight. You can purchase an annual or a quarterly subscription -- both are 20% off for a few more hours. Inside the app, you'll get a personalized movement program built with videos I've created to make daily movement more attainable, strength training more accessible, and aging feel more powerful. This app is best for...

Hey Reader, Today is the last day to take advantage of the special launch price for my new app, Strength in Midlife. I built this app for a few specific reasons, but mostly to offer a space for women over 40 to start and sustain a daily movement practice that emphasizes the importance of strength training and without all of the diet culture nonsense as a distraction. You don't have to set a weight loss goal. You're not measuring anything other than how many reps you do and how heavy the...

Hey Reader, In the past few days, I've gotten a lot of questions about my new app, Strength in Midlife. I'm going to answer the 3 most frequently asked questions today, so you have an idea if Strength in Midlife is right for you! 1st question: I'm really new to strength training. Will this app be too hard for me? Answer: I designed the sequence and trajectory of Strength in Midlife with beginners in mind! In fact, if you already have a fairly consistent strength training practice and you feel...

Hey Reader, Something important to know about strength training is that it can be enormously boring. If you want to get stronger in a particular area of your body -- building both bone and muscle -- you need to focus on the same exercises that target those muscle groups for weeks and months at a time. It can feel a little (a lot) monotonous, especially if you're someone you like variety. But there are ways to incorporate a little bit of variety into a strength training practice without...

Hey Reader, I've been teaching yoga and movement for 21 years. In that time, my work in the world has evolved with me. When I was a new yoga teacher, my goal was to teach fun, thoughtful yoga classes that challenged people to do things they didn't think they could do (safely, of course). When I became a mom, my goal was to make movement more accessible for busy moms without making it feel like one more thing on their to-do list. And then, when I realized I needed to get stronger as I get...

Hey Reader, I never thought that I would be someone with a fitness app. I don't even like apps! Or at least, app clutter. Plus, I'm one of those people who prefers to type on a desktop, not a tiny screen. Still, when Studio.com reached out to me with the offer to build an app on their platform, I jumped at the opportunity. Here's why: A lot of apps in the fitness space prioritize things that I don't think are useful when it comes to fitness, particularly when they are geared toward women. 1️⃣...

Hey Reader, Do you ever get tired of doing 100 chaturangas in your yoga classes? I do. This is partially because I don't need or want my yoga practice to be my primary workout. But I also think that there is more to "flow" that sun salutations. From a practical standpoint, not everyone can easily put weight on their hands. Now, as a trainer, I also believe that this doesn't mean they never should try or work to build strength in their wrists but it's also important to have movement practices...
