Optimizing Exercise for Women in Perimenopause and Post-Menopause

Perimenopause, the period before menopause, brings hormonal changes that can affect your body and exercise routine. During this time, it's important to reset your expectations and listen to your body's needs. Functional strength training with heavy weights is recommended to build muscle fibers and improve everyday activities. Cardiovascular exercise should focus on improving stamina and creating lasting energy, rather than solely relying on heart rate. Avoid stressful workouts and instead combine exercise with mindfulness for a more effective and enjoyable experience.
