Why Fitness Matters During Perimenopause & Menopause ✨

Perimenopause and menopause bring big changes to the body—hot flashes, sleep shifts, mood changes, and a slowing metabolism. But here’s the good news: movement is one of the most powerful tools you have during this transition.

💪 Strength Training:

• Helps counteract natural muscle and bone loss.

• Protects against osteoporosis and keeps joints strong.

• Boosts metabolism, which supports weight management.

• 
  

🧘 Mobility & Flexibility:

• Reduces stiffness and improves posture.

• Helps manage aches and pains that can show up more often at this stage.

• 
  

❤️ Cardiovascular Health:

• Lowers risk of heart disease, which increases after menopause.

• Improves circulation and energy levels.

• 
  

🧠 Mind-Body Benefits:

• Exercise supports mental health, easing anxiety and mood swings.

• Better sleep quality and reduced brain fog.

• Increases confidence and sense of control during a time of change.

• 
  

✨ Tip: The best approach is a mix—strength training, cardio, mobility work, and restorative movement like yoga or Pilates. Even 20–30 minutes a day makes a huge difference.

Menopause is a new chapter, not the end of one. Fitness can help you move through it with strength, energy, and resilience. 🌿
