How do you exercise effectively through the challenging stages of Menopause? Move though Menopause! In this blog, we will review the stages of Menopause and how to achieve results for weight management, improving metabolism, improving muscle tone, and improving bone mass. Consistent weekly exercise is an excellent way to avoid weight gain, tone muscles, and improve how you feel. Metabolism slows down beginning at the onset of perimenopause and significantly throughout postmenopause. To maintain or increase your metabolism the correct intensity and amount of cardiovascular and strength training is required. Declining estrogen levels reduce muscle tone and bone mass. Proper resistive training exercises are required to build muscle mass and strengthen bones. Specific aerobic exercise and resistive training can prevent the spiral effect of other symptoms occurring. Exercise is known to improve sleep, increase mental acuity, and reduce stress. These benefits will help avoid the domino effect of feeling unhealthy, fatigue, and pain. Consistent weekly exercise increases well being and energy throughout the day.
