WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY
It's no secret that your body goes through some pretty significant changes before, during, and after menopause.
The good news is that making a few lifestyle changes can improve overall well-being.
Exercise is one major element that can help you cope with all those changes. The key is making sure you’re doing the right kind of exercise.
From 30 to 50, adults lose between 3% and 8% of their muscle mass per decade. Starting at age 50, muscle loss speeds up, and you lose 5% to 10 % of your muscle mass each decade.
The only way to slow the process and maintain — and even gain — muscle after menopause is to strength train. Lifting weights builds muscle, increases strength, and even helps with balance and agility.
All of the women l train have one thing in common they are in the menopause phase of life, over 50, and all do strength training at least twice a week to stay in shape.
If you're not very physically active now, it's never too late to start. Weight training provides significant health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, stronger bones and joints, better metabolic health, and enhanced mental well-being. And best of all it's a lot of fun. 😊
