Why is it so important for perimenopausal, menopausal & postmenopausal women to keep moving?
Your hormones might be changing, but your strength, vitality, and energy don’t have to fade. In fact, this is the time when movement matters more than ever.
At Body Torque, we support women navigating perimenopause and menopause with training that works with your body so you can thrive through menopause. Here’s why movement and strength training are key:
1. Muscle Is Your Metabolism’s Best Friend
Muscle mass naturally declines during menopause, which can slow metabolism and increase fat gain. Strength training helps maintain and build muscle, keeping your metabolism more active and helping you stay leaner and stronger.
2. Training Supports Bone Health
Weight-bearing exercise is one of the best ways to maintain bone density and prevent osteoporosis which women are vulnerable to post-menopause.
3. Movement Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress
Fluctuating hormones can affect mood, sleep, and energy. Exercise improves mental clarity, reduces anxiety, and helps balance mood, naturally.
4. It Builds Confidence and Control
Menopause can feel like you’re losing control of your body. Movement helps you take that control back, reconnect with your strength, and feel empowered again.
5. Consistency Is the Secret
You don’t need extreme workouts, you just need regular, purposeful training that suits your body, energy levels, and life stage.
Aging well is all about living fully, confidently, and powerfully through it. If you’re navigating this transition, you’re not alone and we can help. We offer a Thriving Through Menopause strength class on Monday’s and Wednesday’s at 6pm. If these times don’t suit, we can still make it work for you.
