Strength training after 35 isn't optional — it's your investment in future independence.
During perimenopause and menopause, falling oestrogen levels don't just affect your mood, sleep, or energy levels. They also accelerate changes in your muscles, bones, and metabolism.
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the 5–7 years after menopause.
From age 30, adults lose around 3–8% of muscle mass per decade, with the rate increasing during menopause.
Less muscle means a slower metabolism, reduced insulin sensitivity, and decreased strength for everyday tasks.
Strength training improves balance, coordination, and mobility — reducing the risk of falls and helping you stay independent as you age.
It's about being strong enough to carry your shopping bags, climb stairs with ease, travel, play with your grandchildren, and continue doing the things you love for decades to come.
Aim for 2–3 strength sessions each week. It doesn't matter where you start — what matters is that you start.
