059 From Sinker to Swimmer with Kerry King

Creating Active Lives

In this week's episode, I am joined by Kerry King. Join us as we discuss Kerry's journey from a novice swimmer to a full charity sea swim and the benefits she got from It. How it changed her life and mental wellbeing during menopause.
Join us as we discuss:

• Hormonal fluctuations and exercise during menstruation and menopause.
• Self-acceptance and ageing, with a focus on body positivity and natural beauty.

About Kerry King:

Kerry teaches sports injury, mental well-being, and Pilates workshops to fitness and sports professionals who want to expand their businesses. She started her fitness career in the 1990s as an exercise to music teacher and then added salsa/Zumba disciplines and worked in private clubs and leisure facilities for 20 years.

Following a few major injuries, she decided to retrain in Pilates in 2012, and then after moving to Cornwall, she set up her own business. Kerry is now training to work with women going through menopause to help with both physical and mental health.

In her spare time, Kerry loves sea swimming, paddleboarding, exploring the southwest coast and live music and is planning her podcast channel combining these loves with her experience of life.
