If you are looking for some inspiration for your own transformation and for what’s possible in your 40s – you’re in the right place. I want to introduce you to Lynne – a client who had a major transformation just before her 40th birthday.
Lynne is now in her 40s but she has maintained the changes we made and she continues to develop and work on her physique. In fact, as you’ll learn, she now gets stopped by other people in the gym wondering how she built her muscles.
At the beginning and end of the article, I’ll share some details of Lynne’s program so you can get an idea of what’s involved if you want to have your own transformation. But the majority of the article, you’ll hear from Lynne in her own words and she’ll be sharing some really inspiring advice with you (as well as a few food photos)!
Lynne’s Transformation Program
Lynne’s transformation took place over about 6 months. She’s always been an active, health conscious woman so when she approached me for help, I was excited. Women like Lynne get awesome transformations.
We made some simple changes for Lynne. First, we introduced some calorie counting and support in the form of email check ins for the first couple months so she could learn to balance out her carbs, protein and fats. Eventually Lynne also started using my Meal Plan so she could introduce some variety and worry less about counting calories.
The second thing we changed was to get Lynne weight training regularly and doing the right things to build muscle and shape where she wanted it. As you can see from her photos, Lynne dramatically changed her physique. She looks like someone that spends a lot of time in the gym. But in reality, and as you’ll learn from her, she usually only trains three times per week!
If you want to have your own transformation, I’ve put everything Lynne has done into a comprehensive program to help you change your body for good! Learn more about it here: Over 40 Transformation Program
Even after her transformation, Lynne remains a training client because she loves having the structure of a program to keep her on track and motivated at the gym.
Here’s Lynne’s advice for you.
A transformation like you’ve had and maintained takes some time and effort. How have you managed to balance your family and work life?
I look at the week ahead and see which days will work for me to get to the gym after work. I try for four days per week although usually it’s three and sometimes even only two times that I get there – but it’s still better than not going at all.
I eat better when I’m going to the gym regularly! I plan supper the night before and let my husband know so he can start it when he gets home or even have it ready.
I feel I am a better mom after I’ve been at the gym and my family has learned that and they fully support me.
What advice do you have for 40-something women wanting to change their bodies?
DO IT!!!!!
Don’t wait for tomorrow or Monday or New Year’s resolutions. Once you start working out regularly your body craves it, craves the movement and the soreness from knowing you had a hard workout. It’s a gift I give myself at the end of the work day.
It was difficult at the beginning to prioritize time for myself at the gym. I had guilty feelings about not being at home, watching a practice, etc. but now we are all accustomed to mom going to the gym. Just today I phoned home after work to see how their day was and they told me to go to the gym instead of heading home!
I get motivation in seeing the changes in my physique and there is nothing that boosts my confidence more than when some ripped guy or girl at the gym asks me what I’ve been doing to get those shredded shoulders! Lol.
What’s your favourite healthy meal at the moment?
My favourite meal right now is a chicken Santa Fe Salad. It has grilled chicken breast, avocado, grilled corn, black beans, garden tomatoes, red onion and fresh lettuce from the garden. The dressing is homemade salsa with a bit of home style ranch dressing blended together.
I can cover all of the nutritional bases with this meal – protein, fibre, and healthy fats.
Why would you recommend my Meal Plan and Training Programs to others?
I would recommend your programs to others because first of all, I totally trust you!!! It makes perfect sense to have a workout tailored for a female!
Your service is prompt, friendly and professional.
Your programs are affordable and your training app is easy to use. I love that there is a demonstration video for each exercise! That is a huge ++ for your program. I never feel like I don’t know how to execute an exercise – just watch and learn!
Your Meal Plan helps demystify what healthy eating looks like with many options to choose from.
I always learn something new from your YouTube videos – they’re a great addition to your program! I like to be able to see you cook and working out!
The biggest reason I would recommend it to others is because you see results if you put in the time and make the commitment to train and eat healthy!!!

How you can get results like Lynne
There are two things you should know about Lynne’s transformation. The first is that what we did to create her transformation was not complicated or hard for her to implement. As you learned in the beginning, we balanced out her eating and she started weight training. That’s it!
Lynne and I both want you to realize that it’s easier than you think! If you aren’t getting results right now it’s probably because you aren’t doing the right things and you aren’t doing them consistently.
That brings me to the second thing you should know about Lynne. From day one, Lynne diligently stuck to the plan we created for her. Consistency was key to her transformation. She found ways to have foods she still loved – for example, she’d bake healthier cookie recipes and only allow herself to have one per day.
But overall, once she had the plan she put in 100% and that’s why she got results. Even after her transformation, she continues to use my training programs because she knows she has better workouts and stays motivated with a program to follow.
If you want to have your own transformation all you need is a good plan and consistency. As Lynne says you’ll see results if you put in the time and commitment!
I’ve put everything Lynne has done into a special Over 40 Nutrition & Training Transformation Program. This is a great way to start your own transformation so be sure to check it out!
