Does exercise feel a little more complicated now that you're in perimenopause or menopause?
Maybe the things you used to do aren't giving you the same results. Maybe you're wondering whether you should be lifting weights, doing HIIT, walking more, working on your bones—or somehow finding time to do all of it!
The good news? You don't need seven different workouts or hours in the gym.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the exercise essentials for women in menopause and showing you how to create a simple system that supports your health, strength, fitness and longevity—without exercise taking over your life.
We’ll talk about:
- Why strength training matters so much after menopause—and why it’s about far more than how your body looks.
- Why getting your heart rate up is a good thing, and how high-intensity exercise can improve cardiovascular fitness and body composition.
- How to protect your bones with the right kind of weight-bearing and impact exercise.
- Why movement throughout the day matters, even if you already exercise regularly.
- The overlooked role of mobility, flexibility and relaxation.
- And perhaps most importantly, how to put it all together into a system that works for you.
I’ll also share why I believe enjoyment should be at the heart of your exercise routine—and why starting small is not “doing it wrong.” It’s how you build something you can actually sustain.
So whether you're starting from zero, getting back into exercise, or already have a fitness routine but aren't sure if you're doing the right things for your menopausal body, this episode will help you work out what really matters—and what doesn't.
Let's get started!
