Jennie Garthhit the gym for some serious lifting — which included using her daughter as a leg press weight — as she continues to deal with menopause-related physical struggles.

TheBeverly Hills, 90210alum, 52, documented the exhaustive trip to the gym with Lola, 21, in anInstagram poston August 15.

“I still struggled in similar ways to last week, but constantly reminding myself of my [body’s] power & needs made it easier," Garth wrote in the caption for the montage, which showed her and Lola during the intense workout.

At one point, Garth tells her trainer, Jason Cohen fromJason Alive Fitness, “I hate you!”
