Self-Study Courses

Have you noticed unwanted changes in your body?

Menopause isn't just about missing periods or hot flashes. Your body goes through fundamental changes as you go through menopause. Many of these changes are caused by the decline in estrogen levels.

The loss of estrogen speeds up the age-related loss of muscle, plus it's harder to build new muscle. As estrogen 'walks out the door', your body fat shifts - to around your waist.

That's why you're looking less toned and getting weaker (have you noticed your grocery bags feel heavier?)

Fortunately, there is a way to turn things around: systematic strength training

Women in midlife need to train differently to get results. To be strong, look toned and prepare our bodies for the decades ahead, we need to lift weights in a systematic way.

That’s why joining a group fitness class with pink dumbbells, and doing a lot of low-weight/high reps workouts where you ‘feel the burn’ doesn’t work. It’s also why those random ‘full-body workouts’ you find online are not moving the needle.

You need to get systematic about resistance training - and that's what my Learn to Lift courses teach you to do.

Are you ready to start your transformation?

Certified Menopause Fitness Coach


Coach Lynn Sederlöf-Airisto

Cert. Menopause Fitness Coach

Host of 40+ Fitness for Women podcast

Hi! I'm Lynn.

Are you a woman in mid-life who is interested in lifting weights but don't know where to start?​

And when you go online looking for help, there is just too much information - often conflicting - to sort through. And, you can't be sure that it's even relevant to a 40+ woman who is not looking to get into bodybuilding or bikini fitness.

​I've been there. ​

I am a 53-year-old post-menopausal woman. A few years ago, I noticed that my body had changed significantly: my muscles had disappeared and so had my waist!

The craziest thing was that I was working out (hard) 5 days/week and working with weights in group fitness classes (pump, circuit and Bootcamp). But it was not enough.

​I switched things up and started weight training, and omg it was a game changer. I am in better shape than in decades and my mission is to spread the word to other GenX women too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are the Learn to Lift courses suitable for complete beginners?

YES! That is exactly who these courses are for. I know you don't have the time to figure it all out so give you everything you need to get started and be successful!

Q2: How long is the course & when does it start?

You can start anytime!

The courses are self-paced. Getting up-and-running will take you about 1 hour. You'll spend that hour watching the instructional videos before your first training session.

The program includes 10 weeks of training sessions delivered via the app. You do not need to complete them in 10 weeks. So, if you need to skip a day or even a week or two (eg. for vacation or illness), just pick up where you left off when you're back.

From purchase date, you'll have 6 months to go through the materials and the weight trianing program.

Q3: How many days per week do I need to train & how long is each session?

You choose: you can train 2, 3, or 4 times per week. Choose the frequency that you think you can sustain for several months - you can always add more days later.

Each training session will take you 45-60 minutes to complete.

Only have 30 minutes? You can shorten the sessions by doing 2 sets of each exercise instead of 3.

Q4: What equipment will I need?

Learn to Lift at the GYM:

Uses the equipment found in most commercial gyms. If your gym happens to be missing some equipment, just let me know and I'll provide you with an alternate exercise.

Learn to Lift at HOME:

The course is designed to get you training with minimal equipment needs so all you need is a set of dumbbells (or two) and a sturdy bench/chair/coffee table/sofa that you can use for some of the exercises.

You’ll need about a yoga matt’s worth of space. And if you have a mat to lie on then that will be more comfortable for you.

If you are buying new dumbbells, then I suggest getting some adjustable ones so that you can add weight as you get stronger. Here are some suggestions >

Pro tip: there are a lot of dumbbells available second hand (after lockdown sparked a home fitness craze) – that’s how I’ve gotten barely used great dumbbells for almost nothing!

Q5: What if I have questions and need some help?

I am here to help!

When you sign up, you'll be invited to a private Facebook group. There, you can ask me questions anytime and I'm happy to answer.

Q6: I have not exercised in ages - is this going to be okay for me?

Yes! The Learn to Lift programs are designed for women who are beginners to weight training. I have selected exercises that can be done even if you are just getting started.

Q7: Is there a weight loss element or diet plan in the course?

No. This is purely a Learn to Lift weights course. However, I do run a fat loss workshop. Sign up here >>
