As oestrogen levels decline through menopause, we can’t rely as heavily on this hormone to support the maintenance of muscle and bone.

That’s why strength training becomes even more important in midlife. 🦴🏋️‍♀️

Progressive resistance training can help support:

✨ Muscle strength
✨ Bone health
✨ Power and physical capacity
✨ Metabolic health
✨ Balance, coordination and resilience
✨ Confidence and independence
✨ Healthy ageing

And it’s not just about lifting heavier.

How we load and challenge the body matters too.

A well-designed programme can help you adapt to the changes of midlife, build strength and continue doing the things you love. ❤️

Menopause isn’t a reason to stop training. It’s a reason to train smarter.

🎓 As a trained Menopause Movement Coach, I’m here to help you understand your changing body and exercise with confidence through menopause and beyond.

As a qualified Movement Coach, that statistic means more to me than just a number.

It represents the women I see in front of me every week.

Women navigating menopause, often without realising just how important this stage of life is for their muscle and bone health.

A 50-year-old woman has an estimated 40–50% lifetime risk of experiencing a fragility fracture.

And by the age of 80, almost 50% of women may have evidence of osteoporosis.

The most common fragility fractures?
🦴 Hip
🦴 Wrist
🦴 Spine

And sadly, many fractures are not investigated for underlying osteoporosis — meaning a broken bone can sometimes be the first indication that something has been happening beneath the surface.

But here’s where I believe we can make a difference.

💪 As health and fitness professionals, we are in a privileged position.

We see women regularly.

We build relationships with them.

We understand their movement, their strength, their confidence and, often, the challenges they are experiencing through menopause.

That gives us an opportunity to educate, empower and support.

It means understanding that maintaining muscle isn’t simply about looking strong.

It’s about supporting strength, balance, function, independence and bone health — and helping to mitigate the risk of fragility as women age.

As a trained Menopause Movement Coach, I have the knowledge to look beyond a single symptom or a single workout.

I can consider the multifaceted risk factors that can affect a woman’s muscle and bone health and help her understand why strength and movement matter.

🚨 We cannot prevent every fracture.
💪 But we can help women become stronger.
🦴 We can help them understand their bone health.
🎓 We can educate.
🤝 We can signpost when further professional support may be needed.

That is the privilege of working with women through menopause.

And it is why education matters.

Because strong women deserve more than a workout. They deserve informed support. 💪🦴

For so many women, the menopause transition can bring unexpected weight gain, and I know how easy it is to think that exercise should only be about losing weight.

But here’s what I want you to remember... fitness isn’t about shrinking your body – it’s about building a stronger, healthier future. 💪✨

Our ❤️ hearts, 🦴 bones and 🧠 brains all need regular movement and strength training to help protect us from fragility and support long-term health after menopause.

I also know that stepping into an exercise environment can feel daunting. Maybe you haven’t exercised for years. Maybe you’re worried you won’t fit in, or that aching joints, muscle pain or menopause symptoms will get worse.

You are not alone, and you don’t have to be “fit” to get started. 🌸

I believe movement should be something we enjoy, not something we dread. When we shift our mindset and see exercise as an act of self-care rather than a punishment, that’s when we begin to discover the joy of moving our bodies again. 🩵🚶‍♀️🧘‍♀️

As a Menopause Movement trained coach, I understand the impact that changing hormones have on a woman’s body, and I can help you exercise in a way that works with your body, not against it. 🧡

✨ It’s never too late to start moving. Every step, every stretch and every lift is an investment in a longer, stronger and healthier life.

Let’s move for our health, our confidence and our future. Are you ready to start? 🌸🩵
