Menopause is a natural aging process. Time of which our menstrual cycle ends. Typically starting between 45-55 years old. Together we can help form a supportive outlet.
Symptoms vary from women to women. The main symptoms experienced are
π΄ Hot flushes
π΄ Night sweats
π΄ Change in mood
π΄ Lack of energy
π΄ Problems with memory of concentration
Research strongly supports the recommendation of regular exercise whilst going through menopause.
Here are a few benefits of strength training:
β Improve mood – during exercise the body will release hormones called endorphins, dopamine, serotonin
(known as your mood boost hormones)
β Maintenance of weight/ prevention of weight gain
β Increase lean muscle mass & reduce increase of body fat
β Reduction of osteoporosis (due to lack of estrogen during menopause, greater risk of lower bone density. Higher risk of fractures)
β Increase body strength
