One of the most effective and empowering ways to support cardiovascular wellness is through strength training.
Lifting weights, using resistance bands, or engaging in bodyweight exercises helps maintain lean muscle mass, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote healthy circulation. Consistent resistance training has been shown to reduce blood pressure and support heart rate variability, a marker of nervous system resilience.
For women, especially those in midlife, strength training isn’t just about fitness. It’s a vital tool for metabolic and cardiovascular protection. It can also ease the transition through menopause by helping regulate weight, support mood, and improve sleep which are all factors all linked to heart health.
