MENOPAUSE & EXERCISE

YOUR BODY IS CHANGING. YOUR STRENGTH DOESN’T HAVE TO.

Menopause is a significant stage of life, and the way we train can make a real difference to how we feel, move and function through it and beyond.

Exercise can help support muscle strength, bone health, cardiovascular fitness, balance, mobility, energy and mental wellbeing. Strength and weight-bearing exercise are particularly important for maintaining muscle and supporting bone health as we age. 

A balanced approach should include:

STRENGTH

Build and maintain muscle, strength and physical capability.

CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
Support heart health, endurance and energy through regular aerobic exercise.

BONE HEALTH
Weight-bearing and resistance exercise can help support bone strength and reduce the risk of bone loss. 

BALANCE & MOBILITY
Maintain stability, coordination, movement and confidence in your body.

RECOVERY & WELLBEING

Stretching, yoga, Tai Chi, breathing and relaxation can complement your training and help support overall wellbeing. 

HOW MUCH EXERCISE DO YOU NEED?

As a general guideline, adults should aim for around 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week, alongside strength exercises on at least two days a week. You don’t have to achieve it all at once, consistency is what matters. 

THIS ISN’T ABOUT FIGHTING YOUR AGE.

It’s about understanding your changing body, training intelligently and continuing to build the strength you need for the life you want to live.

STRONGER FOR NOW. STRONGER FOR WHAT’S AHEAD.
