Portal 2: Strength Fitness

Build a strong body for health & pleasure

PORTAL TO PLEASURE

Strength training isn’t just about body composition and changing how you look. It’s about building a body that is strong for living your life. During perimenopause muscle and bone health is even more important. And above that, strength training, such as weight lifting, can help you to feel good in your body, lift your mood, libido, provide energy and raise confidence.

"I believe the more we expand our capacity for pleasure, and the more we care for our body, the more deeply in love with ourselves and life we can feel."

I’m Pleasurelit Patricia, award winning Somatic Pleasure Educator & Perimenopause Coach

After growing up as the good girl, becoming a high achiever and later leaving a DV marriage, I became fascinated by what helps us fall in love with ourselves and life. I have explored hundreds of somatic practices and pleasure tools, alongside more than 20 certifications and years of study across health, nutrition, fitness, somatics, yoga, breathwork, tantra and sexuality.

Through my programs, courses, coaching, and community, I help you build a pleasurable and healthy relationship with your body, so you can feel deliciously in love with yourself and life itself, especially during perimenopause and at times of disconnection.

I’m the founder of Pleasurelit®, bestselling author of The Pleasurelit Way, and host of Pleasurelit with Patricia, a top 5% globally ranked podcast.

Strength Fitness Tips

Do resistance training at least three times a week, working the major muscle groups. Consistent strength training can protect bone density and physical health. Use a weight heavy enough to challenge you by the last few reps. Progressive overload is a way to build muscle.

Go for daily walks, light movement, best outside in nature feeling the sun. This can support your metabolism, your body, mood, nervous system, energy and pleasure.

Warm up before and cool down after your workouts. Your joints will love the extra care and it will support your range of motion too.

Strength Fitness Practice

Next time you lift weights, stay with the sensation instead of rushing past it. Feel the burn in your arms, your heavy breathing, and the heat in your legs. That is your body being alive. Take note of what shifts in your body during and post workout. It could become your turn on.

With love & pleasure,
