Strength and movement

    Strength and movement coaching for women over 40 that
    finally works.

    Simple strength and movement built for women 40+, drawn from the Leaner Plants workout library, with a coach in your corner.

    Why most strength and movement coaching for women over 40
    fails women over 40.

    • Endless cardio burns you out and doesn't protect muscle.
    • Gym programs are written for 25-year-old men.
    • Hour-long sessions don't fit a real week.
    • Most plans skip recovery and mobility, which matter more after 40.
    • There is no human keeping you consistent week to week.
    The difference

    How The Leaner Plants Method
    changes the outcome.

    01

    Abundant Plate

    Eat more, not less.

    Plant-based calorie density: fill your plate with whole plant foods so you stay full, lose weight, and never count a calorie. Nothing off limits.

    02

    Strong on Plants

    Movement built for midlife.

    Simple, customized strength and movement that protects muscle and metabolism in midlife, drawn from the Leaner Plants workout library. No endless cardio.

    03

    The STACK Method

    How it actually sticks.

    Our signature accountability system. We stack small habits on top of each other and back them with daily one to one coaching, so your new routine runs on autopilot.

    04

    Body-Wise Adjusting

    A plan that changes with you.

    We read your body's signals (energy, hunger, sleep, cravings, your stage of life) and adjust your plan as you change, so progress never stalls.

    Why this works when
    other things didn't.

    The old way

    • Eat less, feel deprived.
    • Count, weigh, track every bite.
    • Plans built for a 25-year-old.
    • Endless cardio.
    • Go it alone.
    • Lose it, regain it, repeat.

    The Leaner Plants Method

    • Eat more whole plant food by volume.
    • No calorie counting, ever.
    • Built for your body and your stage of life.
    • Strength and movement that fits your week.
    • Daily one to one coaching.
    • Habits that keep the weight off.

    Who this is
    right for.

    • You want to feel strong, mobile, and energetic in midlife.
    • You want workouts that fit a busy week.
    • You want a coach to adjust the plan to your body.
    • You eat plants and want movement that fits that lifestyle.
    • You want to protect muscle and metabolism as you lose weight.

    Chelsea down 50 lbs; now fitting size 8 pants
    Chelsea posted in the Lean With Plants community: I’m at a point in my health journey where I might be able to go on my own from here on out. Didn’t think I would be saying that now. I feel a little conflicted about it. I’ve lost about 80 pounds and have definitely changed. I would miss this group so much! Nothing definite yet. I could also go one more year and focus on life skills.
    Kirstie: I lost 40lbs with this coaching program…. I lost 40lbs with this coaching program in 2023-2024. I joined again for a year to lose the last 20lbs. … It has changed my life and I am forever grateful.

    Lisa posted in the Lean With Plants community: My big win for this week is 50lbs gone!!! 🎉 As wonderful as that is, I think a bigger win is that I'm finally listening to my body and respecting what it's telling me! 🫶💪
    Jordan Page: After nearly 30 years of trying… I finally did it!. After nearly 30 years of trying every single way to lose weight and keep it off, having a coach with Lean with Plants is what finally helped me do it! Within less 8 months, I had lost 38 pounds. Having a Lean with Plants coach helped me begin to be solution-focused so that I could create success in every season of my life. Nearly 3 years later, I have kept the weight off and built forever habits. Forever grateful for Lean with Plants!
    Heather wrote to coach Jordan Page: I upped my protein so I could increase my lifts and build my strength in CrossFit 💪🏻 and (best of all) I dramatically improved my labs and am healthier than ever - which was a must for my kidney and heart health. And on top of all that, I lost 9 lbs! It was an epic summer and I am so so so grateful for this program.

    Emily posted in the Lean With Plants community: I wanted to post to you all because 1) huge win, I’m down nearly 20 lbs from where I started with LWP 🎉 and 2) I’m now entering the weight range that I remember fluctuating within throughout my twenties, on the high side of healthy BMI. I remember I always felt heavy back then, but looking back I only feel kindness and compassion for my younger self, and I think she looked hot! Feeling just as good now too! 😂 Just wanted to share that I’m proud of myself!
    Debbie Baumoel: This is a great program run by…. I have learned so much from my coach and everyone in the program. Their help and guidance has given me the tools to lose 40 pounds and I now feel certain that I will get to my goal and stay there based on what I am learning.
