Aspirus Health Shares Expert Advice for National Women’s Health and Fitness Day

Strength and Conditioning Coach Shares Tips to Reignite Your Fitness Routine

With National Women’s Health and Fitness Day approaching on September 24, Aspirus Health is encouraging women of all ages to take small, sustainable steps toward prioritizing their physical well-being. 

 

According to Tami Hans, Strength and Conditioning Coach with Aspirus Health, building fitness into your life doesn’t require a complete lifestyle overhaul, but it does require intention, consistency, and self-compassion. 

 

“We see women come in who are struggling with body image, confidence, or simply don’t know where to begin,” Hans says. “Once they have a little guidance and hit those first small goals, they start feeling stronger, physically and mentally. That’s when everything shifts.” 

 

Hans works with individuals at all fitness levels, including those returning after illness, injury, surgery, or simply time away. Her advice for women restarting their fitness routine? Start with a conversation. 

 

“Tell someone your goals. Ask questions. You don’t have to do this alone,” Hans said. “Many Aspirus locations offer support, coaching, or orientations that help people feel comfortable and motivated. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just need to refresh your routine, it’s never too late.” 

 

Her top tips for women looking to re-engage with fitness this fall: 

 

Schedule it like an appointment 

“Even 20–30 minutes, three times a week, can make a difference. The key is showing up consistently.” 

 

Find something you enjoy 

“Don’t force yourself into workouts you hate. Movement should feel good, explore different options until something clicks.” 

 

Set small, realistic goals 

“Success builds confidence. Start with achievable goals, then build from there.” 

 

Don’t ignore strength training 

“Lifting weights or using resistance improves posture, joint health, and body composition. It’s especially important as we age.” 

 

Work with professionals when needed 

“Whether it’s a trainer, physical therapist, or provider, having expert guidance ensures you’re doing what’s safe and effective for your body.” 

 

Aspirus integrates fitness and movement into its broader approach to care, often partnering with physicians and rehabilitation specialists to support long-term health, especially for women navigating recovery, aging, or lifestyle changes. 

 

“Strength training doesn’t just change your body,” Hans added. “It changes your energy, your confidence, your mindset. It gives women the power to feel capable again.” 

 

As National Women’s Health & Fitness Day approaches, Aspirus Health encourages women to take the first step, no matter how small, toward a healthier, more confident version of themselves.
