“Menopause Awareness Day is a great time to highlight how exercise can help ease many of the symptoms and changes women go through.
How moving more helps:
Exercise helps reduce hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and sleep disturbances. Regular movement supports hormonal balance.
Strength training & weight-bearing exercise helps maintain bone density, reducing risk of osteoporosis.
Aerobic activity (walking, swimming, biking etc.) can also aid energy, improve circulation, and help with changes in metabolism.
Mood, brain fog & stress tend to improve with consistent exercise, thanks to endorphins, serotonin and dopamine gains.
Some ideas to try:
✅ Incorporate strength training (even light weights or bodyweight) 2-3 times a week plus Bodystreet once-a-week.
✅ Regular brisk walks outdoors.
✅ Gentle exercise like yoga or Pilates for flexibility, stress relief, and sleep support.
Be mindful of rest, recovery, hydration & nutrition - all help make the positive effects stronger.
To everyone going through menopause: you’re not alone, and movement really can help you feel more like yourself again.”
