Menopause typically affects women between the ages of 45 and 55. At 52, Jennie is just one year above the average age that women begin to experience menopause symptoms.

Known for her role as Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210, Jennie has always been in shape and ready to go! Her Instagram post showed a different side of her though. “Here’s the deal… I stay motivated by FORCING myself to workout. I know I’ll always feel better from doing it,” she admitted before diving into some of the ways menopause has affected her usual workouts and daily life.

“Recently it just feels like my body is fighting against me at times. I forget that there’s so much happening inside me, causing so many changes, that of course I’m not always gonna feel or be able to perform how I’d like to (or expect to),” she continued in her emotionally honest caption.

When your body goes through changes, it can affect so much of your day-to-day life. It can be hard to force yourself to get out of bed, let alone workout. However, Jennie has a few words of wisdom for those who may be hard on themselves. “I have to remind myself to give myself some grace! I’m doing the best I can & that makes me feel a little better.”

Giving yourself grace can be just the kind of stress-relief your body may need to give itself that extra push! We can all benefit from Jennie’s advice and if you have any advice on exercise or menopause to offer her, she ended her Instagram post with a request from her followers for their own tips and tricks!
