CALM & LEAN
BURN FAT, NOT BURN OUT
April's new plan!
Doing everything right but belly fat still isn't shifting?
If you’ve been doing all the right things—eating well, working out, pushing harder—but your belly fat won’t budge, stress could be the missing piece.
Midlife brings hormonal shifts that make it harder to lose weight, and when stress levels are high, your body holds onto fat—especially around your belly. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to work harder, you need to work smarter.
Calm & Lean is a 4-week programme designed to help you...
Lower stress & balance hormones
so your body stops storing belly fat.
Use the right workouts
a mix of strength, sculpting, and stress-reducing movement.
Support your metabolism naturally
with easy, sustainable habits.
Feel lean, calm, and in control
without exhausting yourself.
7-Day FREE Trial NOW
I'm NOT missing this!
What To Expect
Stress makes belly fat stick—but by balancing hormones, managing stress, and training smarter, you can finally break the cycle. This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about giving your body what it actually needs.
To wrap up April, we’re launching a brand-new Yoga category inside the app! These sessions will be designed to help you release tension, build strength, and feel truly balanced—inside and out. Whether you're new to yoga or already love it, these sessions will help reduce stress, improve mobility, and support long-term fat loss.

Testimonials
I have a whole new mindset since finding Cara Metz the menopausal fitness master, motivator who leaves you wanting more with her realness and amazing 15 min workouts !!!!! Thank you so much, I feel alive again!!! Good riddens hot flashes, bingo wings and muffin top !!!!

What can I say. Cara Metz truly understands her tribe and approaches us all as individuals at the same time. This makes a huge difference when you feel so understood and supported, gives you a lift.
The group of women here, worldwide, are incredible. We all have our own ups and downs and the reward of being here is feeling genuinely cared for.
I lost my way about 18 months ago and briefly left the group feeling quite lost. It soon became apparent that I was menopausal and that Cara Metz was exactly what I needed! I rejoined and am a very happy woman for it, thank you to every single member.

How can one sum up Cara?
Well life is like a train ride, we will meet many new passengers on our journey, but the inspiration, encouragement , friendships and support that you experience on this train ride with Cara Metz will make an everlasting impact on you! You will learn to give yourself grace, to get up and move, to make healthier eating choices, to embrace menopause instead of feeling frustrated and trying to run from it because you can’t !!! You will learn to love yourself just as you are… you be you no competition here.

Cara fitness has taught me how to understand the changes due to menopause and learn to love my body again through realistic fitness classes that have made an incredible difference. Meditation, that has helped me not to feel like I'm losing my mind . Cara has given you a sense of normality which is definitely needed at this time in our lives and she's created a community of women who are all going through these daily challenges and are incredibly supportive on the good days and the bad. In a nutshell, Cara fitness is just simply addictive.

Cara has redefined what it means to workout after 50. I feel energized and motivated again because of Cara and the community.

Cara is encouraging, empathetic and kind. So happy to have found her app. It’s like having my own little personal trainer in my iPad. I actually look forward to working out now as the 15 minute workouts are manageable and worthwhile. There is so much content available and the programs are well structured. I feel committed, motivated and strong and I am excited to see my progress!! Thankyou Cara fitness!

A message from me, Cara, to you.
'Surely 15 minutes is not enough, what else do you do?'
This is the question I get all the time. It works because it allows you to stay consistent. All the time you put too much pressure on yourself to workout, you find it difficult to stay consistent because you tend to stop when life throws a curve ball your way!
AND LIFE ALWAYS THROWS CURVE BALLS!
Having the mantra 'it is just 15 minutes' let's you know it will be over before you know it! Therefore allowing a sustainable workout lifestyle to be born. We work on mindset and nutrition for women over 40 too and this will all become clear once you become part of the Cara Fitness family.
