Losing weight after 40 can feel tough. Maybe your belly fat won’t go away, your energy is low, and workouts don’t work like they used to. You are not imagining it; your body really does change as you age. That’s why weight loss for women over forty needs a smarter plan.

Own Your Fitness helps women over 40 lose belly fat, tone up, and feel strong with personalized training in Jersey City, Tribeca, and online.

Our simple, proven plans work even when others haven’t. Here are five common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Skipping Meals or Eating Too Little

Some women try to lose weight by eating very little. But this can slow down your metabolism and make you feel tired or hungry later. It can even cause weight gain in the long run.

Eat healthy meals with enough protein, fiber, and good fats. We help you create simple meal plans that give your body what it needs to burn fat and feel full.

Doing Only Cardio and Skipping Strength Training

Cardio, like running or biking, burns calories. But if that’s all you do, you might lose muscle too. Less muscle means a slower metabolism, which makes it harder to lose fat, especially belly fat.

Add strength training to your week. Our workouts combine weights, body movements, and core exercises to help with toning and belly fat loss. You’ll get stronger, leaner, and more energized.

Ignoring Hormone Changes

Your body’s hormones start to change after 40. This can affect how you gain or lose weight. Some women store more fat around the belly and feel bloated or tired.

You need a fitness plan made just for your stage of life. Our coaches understand how these changes affect your body and create a program that helps you lose fat and feel better from the inside out.

Looking for Quick Fixes

Crash diets and trendy workouts may promise fast results. But they usually don’t last. You might lose weight and gain it back quickly, or feel burnt out and give up.

Focus on steady progress. Our plans are designed to fit your lifestyle, with changes you can stick with. You’ll start to see real results in 4 to 6 weeks and keep going from there.

Not Resting or Managing Stress

Stress and poor sleep can lead to weight gain, especially around the belly. Many women forget that recovery is just as important as workouts.

Sleep well, rest between workouts, and find ways to relax. We teach you how to balance exercise and recovery so your body has time to rebuild and burn fat.
