How to make exercise feel motivating and enjoyable
Meet the speakers
Exercise Physiologist & Founder of The Exercise Lab
Rachael helps her clients build strength safely, move better, and reduce their risk of injury - with programs tailored to their body and goals.
Rachael will be speaking about how women in midlife and beyond can train safely, including:
why perimenopause/menopause increases injury risk
why assessment matters and why it reduces the risk of injury
how to spot weak areas - and the parts of your body that are working too hard to make up for them
the best way to strengthen the right areas and reduce future injury risk
Strength Training Coach & Founder of The Strength Agenda
Senka runs a Sydney-based strength training gym specialising in women in perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
She’ll share why strength training is one of the most powerful tools for aging well - and why it’s never too late to begin. Senka will also speak honestly about confidence and motivation, the results she sees in women over 40/50/60, and how strength training can become something you actually enjoy -especially once you start seeing what your body is capable of at any age.
Sally Let’s Run (Running & Cardio Coach)
While strength training is getting a lot of attention (rightfully so), cardio often gets forgotten - and it matters.
Sally trains women - including women in their 60s and 70s - to run safely and build cardiovascular fitness. She’ll talk about:
why cardio is a key part of longevity and wellbeing
what VO₂ max is (your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise and a key measure of longevity)
how to train in a way that improves fitness, supports bones and joints, and helps you stay resilient and capable as you age
