Strength training during menopause
key benefits
Bone Health
Bone Health: Menopause is associated with a decline in oestrogen levels, which can lead to a decrease in bone density. Strength training, especially weight-bearing exercises, helps promote bone health by stimulating the production of new bone tissue, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Maintaining Muscle Mass
Maintaining Muscle Mass: As women age, there is a natural decline in muscle mass. Strength training helps counteract this loss by promoting the development and maintenance of lean muscle mass. This is crucial for maintaining strength, stability, and metabolic health.
Metabolic Boost
Metabolic Boost: Strength training enhances metabolism by increasing muscle mass. This is particularly beneficial during menopause, as metabolic rate tends to slow down. A higher metabolism contributes to better weight management and overall energy expenditure.
Hormonal Balance
Hormonal Balance: Regular strength training has been linked to improvements in hormonal balance, including increased production of growth hormone and testosterone. These hormonal changes can positively impact mood, energy levels, and overall vitality during menopause.
Joint Health
Joint Health: Strength training supports joint health by strengthening the muscles around joints and improving joint stability. This can be particularly beneficial for women experiencing joint discomfort or arthritis symptoms during menopause.
Mood Enhancement
Mood Enhancement: Menopause is often associated with hormonal fluctuations that can contribute to mood swings and stress. Strength training has been shown to release endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevators, which can help alleviate stress and improve mood.
Weight Management
Weight Management: Strength training, combined with a balanced diet, can aid in weight management. It helps burn calories, build lean muscle, and improve body composition, which is beneficial for women who may experience changes in body weight and fat distribution during menopause.
Improved Sleep
Improved Sleep: Regular physical activity, including strength training, is associated with better sleep quality. As sleep disturbances are common during menopause, incorporating strength training into a routine may contribute to more restful sleep.
Training & pregnancy
Incorporating strength training into a prenatal fitness routine can offer numerous benefits & after giving birth, strength training continues to be beneficial for women in the postpartum period.
