Jennie Garth is working hard to stay in the game.
The 52-year-old got candid with her fans about her fitness struggles at her current stage in life.
“I’m going to be real honest with you,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 star wrote on a Aug. 6 Instagram video. “I’ve been struggling with working out recently. My travel and work schedule, my body pain, not to mention menopause is a daily minefield, both physically & mentally.”
The mother of three—she shares daughters Luca, 27, Lola, 21, and Fiona, 17, with her ex-husband, Peter Facinelli—is still hitting the gym, it’s just taking a lot more effort to get her there.
“I know I’ll always feel better from doing it,” Garth admitted, “but 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).”
“I’m doing the best I can,” she noted, “& that makes me feel a little better.”
In the clip, soundtracked by Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Garth showed off her exercise circuit of weighted squats, lifts heavy dumbbells, does hip dips, and much more
Coming to grips with the symptoms of menopause has been an ongoing process for the What I like About You alum, who recently discussed the “silent struggle” of experiencing brain fog.
“It happens to me at least three times a day,” Garth explained on the Aug. 7 episode of her I Choose Me podcast. “Where I walk into a room and I have no idea why I’m in there. That’s brain fog.”
And the actress hasn’t been afraid to get candid when it comes to her health and body image as she’s gotten older.
"I have gone through ups and downs with my diet, with my body, my body image,” she previously shared on the podcast. "It has been a roller coaster for me, especially being in the spotlight, and having to look a certain way and having people really critique things that they shouldn't be critiquing."
