The Defined Fitness Approach: Strength, Cycles & Long-Term Health with Monica Menard
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Tuesday Tea, I sit down with Monica Menard of Defined Fitness to explore a more grounded, sustainable approach to women’s health and strength. With over 20 years of experience (and a fun throwback to her original lifetime membership at 24 Hour Fitness that started it all), Monica shares how to move beyond fitness trends and external pressure - and challenges the common myths around chasing aesthetics versus building real strength for the long haul.
We talk about the comparison trap so many women find themselves in, and how shifting toward self-governance allows you to define what strength, health, and progress actually look like for you. From fasted (or un-fasted) workouts to the natural fluctuations of a woman’s cycle, to rethinking “bounce back” culture and instead honoring the transition your body moves through, this conversation is about learning when to push, when to rest, and how to work with your body - not against it.
