Podcast Overview

If you're a woman over 40 and your old workouts have stopped working, your jeans feel tighter, and your brain can’t decide if it’s burnt out or buzzing - you’re in the right place. This is midlife, just not how they sold it to you. Honestly, Carly is where fitness, hormone health, and real life collide. Hosted by Carly Corrigall, midlife PT (and former lawyer), each week we get honest about what it actually takes to feel strong, confident and capable over 40, without overtraining, overcomplicating, or outsourcing your self-worth to scales and step counts. Expect science-backed strategies you can use today, the pep talk you didn't know you needed, and more than the occasional “oh my god, SAME.” This is the podcast to help you train smarter, feel better, and make this your strongest chapter yet.

The 10 Minute Habit that Changed My Life (not just my abs)

<p>For years, I was the personal trainer with a secret.</p><p>I could run. I could lift weights. I could coach other women through their fitness journeys.</p><p>But my own body wasn't functioning the way I wanted it to.</p><p>After two pregnancies, I was left with a significant abdominal separation, recurring back pain, debilitating sciatica and a core that simply wasn't doing its job. I tried all the things I thought I should do, but never really committed to the boring, repetitive work I knew would probably make the biggest difference.</p><p>Then I made one tiny decision.</p><p>Ten minutes a day.</p><p>That's it.</p><p>In this episode, I'm sharing the full story behind the daily core habit I've now maintained for more than 1,200 days, including why I started, what changed, how quickly I noticed a difference and why this experience completely changed the way I think about habits, motivation and what it really takes to create lasting change in midlife.</p><p>If you've ever felt like your body has stopped responding, if you've been waiting for the perfect time to start, or if you've convinced yourself that meaningful progress requires a complete life overhaul, this episode is for you.</p><h3>In this episode, I talk about:</h3><p>• The post-pregnancy abdominal separation I spent years trying to ignore</p><p>• How recurring sciatica became the wake-up call I couldn't ignore any longer</p><p>• Why 10 minutes a day worked when bigger plans didn't</p><p>• The surprising changes I noticed within the first month</p><p>• Why motivation is wildly overrated</p><p>• The difference between doing a habit and becoming the kind of person who does that habit</p><p>• Why small habits are often more powerful than dramatic transformations</p><p>• The connection between trust, confidence and seeing your body respond again</p><h3>Mentioned in this episode:</h3><p><strong>PerimenoCore</strong></p><p>My simple, realistic core programme designed specifically for busy women in midlife.</p><p>Short sessions. No equipment. No trying to find an extra hour in your day.</p><p>Just a practical way to build strength, consistency and confidence from the inside out.</p><p>Find out more here: <a href="https://www.clcfitness.co.uk/perimenocore-buy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.clcfitness.co.uk/perimenocore-buy</a></p><h3>Connect with me</h3><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlycorrigall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carlycorrigall</a></p><p>If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.
