Menopause changes your physiology but it doesnât mean you need to completely reinvent the way you train.
The fundamentals still work. đŞ
For women during and after menopause, the priorities become even more important:
đď¸ Progressive resistance training to maintain muscle, strength, bone density, and function
â¤ď¸ Aerobic exercise to support cardiovascular health, metabolic health, and VOâ max
𼊠Adequate protein to help preserve and build lean muscle
𦴠Weight-bearing & impact activity to challenge and strengthen bones
đ Consistency + progressive overload instead of constantly chasing the âperfectâ program
The goal isnât to train like youâre 25.
Itâs to build a strong, capable, resilient body that keeps you doing the things you love for decades to come.
Progress doesnât require perfection. It requires repetition.
Save this for later and share it with a woman who wants to stay strong through menopause and beyond.
