Staying active during perimenopause and menopause isn’t just about staying in shape – it has wide-ranging benefits for your body and mind. Here are 5 evidence-based reasons to move your body:
Heart Health ❤️
Exercise supports healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and circulation, reducing cardiovascular risk.
Bone & Muscle Strength 🦴💪
Resistance and weight-bearing exercises help maintain muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis.
Mood & Cognitive Function 🧠
Activity boosts endorphins and blood flow to the brain, improving mood, focus, and memory.
Weight & Metabolism Support ⚖️
Regular movement helps manage body composition and supports metabolism during hormonal changes.
Flexibility, Balance & Fall Prevention 🤸♀️
Stretching, yoga, and balance exercises reduce risk of falls, joint stiffness, and injuries.
💡 Tip: A mix of cardio, strength, and flexibility exercises 3–5 times per week provides the greatest benefits. Even small, consistent bouts of activity can make a meaningful difference.
Moving your body is one of the most powerful tools for thriving during menopause – it’s never too late to start! 🌸
