Nurture not torture your body

Menopausal women are more prone to osteoporosis and brittle bones. Weight training strengthens muscles as well as building bone density helping avoid skeletal issues. And you won’t end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Women have less testosterone so can’t build the level of muscle mass men can, but you will build tight, toned limbs and booties that would make the Kardashians jealous!

CYCLING

Another leap back to our youth, with a gentle and low impact form of exercise. Cycling not only allows you to get out and enjoy our amazing countryside, but you will strengthen your legs and core muscles and enjoy a total sense of freedom.

ROCK CLIMBING

From walking the hills and fells to visiting a local climbing centre, there’s something very liberating about using your body to scale a rocky face. Good training centres offer beginners classes, and you will be able to participate safely with high-quality safety harnesses. Improve, strengthen and tone all over your body, boost core strength and find a whole new sense of empowerment as you soar higher!

Menopause has, for many years, been rarely spoken about, with a lack of support and understanding. But finally, the advice and support is growing, with it, comes a whole new dynamic for us menopausal bunch, and it’s so positive to see and be part of.

For me, I plan to embrace this exciting new chapter of my journey and with it, I intend to find out how much more my body can achieve and share my knowledge.

So go crazy, let your hair down, have fun and feel like the sexy, strong empowered woman you are!
