Exercise has always been a central part of my life. But as a menopausal woman, it now plays a very different role.
It used to be about weight loss, staying “toned,” or heart health. Now the focus has shifted to three things that matter more:
1️⃣ Protecting my bones — reducing fracture risk if I fall
2️⃣ Maintaining muscle mass — to keep my metabolism strong and blood sugar stable
3️⃣ Supporting my mind — better mood, deeper sleep, and more resilience under stress
Exercise matters at every age, but in this season it becomes essential to how we feel day to day.
Start small. A 10-minute walk after dinner is a great place to begin.
Movement isn’t a phase — it’s a habit you want with you for life.
