Going through the menopause can be a challenging time both mentally and physically.
Physical activity can help boost confidence, increase lean muscle and decrease stress, all of which can help you manage the symptoms associated with the menopause.
At the PT Factory, our trainers are experienced in creating tailored programmes for your needs. So whether you’re going through the menopause or perimenopausal stage, we can help design a fitness and nutrition programme to help you through it.
Physical training has many benefits that have shown to reduce symptoms experienced during menopause.
Some of the benefits include:
Our personal trainers will work with you on developing a bespoke programme that touches on some of the best exercises for combatting symptoms of menopause, including:
Cardio
Cardiovascular exercise helps improve heart rate and how efficiently the heart circulates blood.
After menopause, women can be at more risk of heart-related issues, so it’s important to integrate cardiovascular activity into your life regularly.
Strength exercises
Women who have gone through the menopause experience a drop in oestrogen levels, which can increase risk of osteoporosis that affects the bones and can lead to pain and discomfort.
Strength exercises, including weightlifting, can help combat this, as well as boosting mental wellbeing, which can suffer during menopause.
Mobility exercises
Muscle mass can deteriorate during the menopause, which can lead to instability and imbalance. Exercises that improve your core strength such as yoga, pilates and tai chi, can also help improve your mobility and balance into later life.
In your 30 minute free consultation, we can discuss your goals, experience and preferred training schedule. This also gives you a chance to ask any questions that you have before going forward.
