Wellness Wednesday Now I’m not suggesting you stop doing the things you love, it’s all about balance! However Let’s talk Strength training and Osteoporosis, it’s often thought of an old persons disease, but in fact it’s a young persons disease that shows up in old age.
Which is why Strength training is essential for women of all ages, the benefits that span from building initial bone density and muscle mass in our 20s and 30s to maintaining functional independence, mobility, and preventing injury during menopause and beyond. It boosts mental confidence, helps combat sarcopenia (muscle loss), which we lose 10% every decade… scary!! Improve our metabolic health, and enhance overall quality of life.
Here are the stages and benefits
* 20s–30s: critical for establishing a solid foundation of muscle mass, enhancing bone density, and aiding in healthy weight management.
* 40s–50s (Perimenopause/Menopause):Crucial for combating hormonal changes, maintaining metabolism, and preserving bone health to prevent future fractures.
* 60s+: The focus lies on functional strength, balance, and maintaining independence, reducing the risk of falls.
If you would like a basic strength training plan to get you started comment ‘Strength’ and I will send you an at home program 🙌
