Let’s talk about the “M” word. Menopause isn’t an ending; it’s a transition that requires a new strategy. If you’re feeling more tired, noticing shifts in your body composition, or wondering why your old cardio routine isn’t “working” anymore—you aren’t alone, and you aren’t broken.
As our estrogen levels shift, our bodies have different needs. Here’s how we’re pivoting our training this year:
• 🏋️♀️ Heavy Up: Strength training is no longer optional. It’s the best way to protect bone density and keep our metabolism firing. Don’t be afraid of the “clink” of the weights!
• 🧘 Recovery is Queen: Our bodies take a little longer to bounce back. Prioritize sleep and mobility work as much as the workout itself.
• ⚡️ Quality over Quantity: Swap the hour-long “dreadmill” sessions for short, effective HIIT or steady-state walks that don’t spike your cortisol through the roof.
The goal isn’t to “get your old body back.” It’s to build the strongest version of the body you have right now. Who else is lifting their way through the change? Drop a “💪” in the comments if you’re choosing STRENGTH today!
