Why Do So Many Women Stop Exercising During Menopause?
Because over 50% experience joint pain — and most fitness programs ignore it. 😣

💡 The root cause?
Hormonal shifts. A drop in oestrogen impacts:
✔️ Inflammation levels
✔️ Joint lubrication
✔️ Muscle, tendon & ligament function

🦴 This increases risk of:
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Chronic pain
Especially from perimenopause to post-menopause.

📉 The result?
Many women avoid movement, fearing it’ll make things worse — even though the right exercise is one of the BEST solutions.

✅ What actually helps:
• Low-impact, joint-friendly workouts
• Strength training (yes, it’s safe!)
• Daily movement & mobility
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition
• HRT (for some)

More than half the women in the UK over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture. But can more awareness – and some heavy lifting – help us beat many of the effects of osteoporosis?

While absorbing the wonder of the Northern lights from our window last night and I noticed this beautiful red streak was pointing from Ursa Majors “plough” to Polaris the North Star.
