🧑‍🩰Most women have never heard of VO2 max. But it might be the most important number for your long-term health.VO2 max is your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise. And it is one of the strongest predictors of how long- and how well you live.Here’s the part nobody tells you: women naturally have a lower VO2 max than men, and it declines with age. Starting in your 30s.But here’s what does work. Just 30 minutes of cardio per week pushed at a challenging intensity can meaningfully improve your VO2 max over time.Not 30 minutes every day. 30 minutes total per week at a pace that makes you work.The benefits go beyond fitness.A higher VO2 max means a stronger heart. Better brain function. Lower risk of chronic disease. More energy day to day. A body that stays capable longer.This is not about being an athlete. This is about protecting your quality of life for decades to come.30 minutes a week. Push a little harder than comfortable. That’s the work.#vo2max #hearthealth #cardiovascularhealth #womenshealth #over40fitness over40health cardiotraining longevity strengthforwomen studiofitchicago by @studiofitchicago

🤩Menopause Matters was such a powerful morning.We tackled the myths that keep women silent, the realities most doctors never explain, and how to actually advocate for ourselves in appointments where we’re too often dismissed.From symptom tracking to hormone therapy misconceptions to the questions every woman over 40 should be asking her provider — this was the conversation we’ve needed for a long time.🙏🏼Thank you to Preeti MD, FCAOG and everyone who showed up ready to learn and advocate for their own health.🧐Want the next wellness event on your radar? Drop a comment or reach out and we’ll make sure you’re the first to know. by @studiofitchicago

$500 raised. One event. Real impact.This is what showing up looks like.We hosted a Donation Only Mobility & Core Strength event, and our members didn’t just come to move- they came to give.Every stretch, every breath, every moment of getting quiet with their bodies raised money for @girlsinthegame because we believe strength isn’t only built under a barbell. Sometimes it’s built through a diaphragmatic breath that finally lands. Through a hip opening up after years of sitting tight. Through learning to slow down instead of push harder.$500 raised. A room full of women who showed up for something bigger than themselves that we’re unbelievably grateful for.This is Studio Fit Chicago.♻️ Repost if you believe in lifting each other up.Who’s a girl in your life you’re proud of right now? Tag her below.📸 @shannongreenphoto #GirlsInTheGame #StrongGirlsStrongWomen #FitnessForGood #DonationClass #ChicagoGivesBack by @studiofitchicago

Public Service Announcement: Speak kindly to yourself, ladies! This may seem obvious, yet it happens more often than we’d like to admit in our studio especially masked as joking about ourselves.Our subconscious mind keeps score when we say things and then it starts to believe everything you say even when you’re ’just kidding’ Think about a friend/family member you love and adore. Would you speak to them the way you speak to yourself? Speak kindly to yourself even in the darkest hours. You’re worth it!! #loveyourself #armitagequarter #chicagofitfam #speakkindlytoyourself by @studiofitchicago

Are you lifting heavy enough in the gym? This topic gets discussed A LOT because…well…heavy is a relative term. What’s heavy for you may not be heavy for me, and vice versa. A simple rule of thumb is the last 2-3 reps of an exercise should be significantly slower reps. You don’t need to lift to failure (1-3 reps left) Your weight and reps should be challenging in your last 2-3 reps if not: you need more reps/weight depending on your goals. If you aren’t lifting heavy enough with progressive overload: it will be difficult to gain muscle mass over time especially if you’re 30+ since you’re losing muscle at a rate of 3-8% Feel free to leave your questions in the comments below 👇🏽#chicagofitfam #armitagequarter #liftheavyshit by @studiofitchicago

They serve girls across the Chicago area with programs designed to support their physical and mental well-being, helping them build the skills they need to navigate adolescence and thrive as future leaders. Through partnerships like this one, they are able to expand access to transformative experiences for the girls we serve while inviting our community to invest in their futures. It’s a $30 suggested donation. The website link is in our bio, and it’s under events. Thanks for your support! by @studiofitchicago
