A Straightforward Path To Building A Toned, Healthy Body You Love
Prioritize building muscle
After around the age of 30, our bodies have a harder time of building and maintaining muscle, which is only exacerbated by the hormonal changes present during menopause.
It becomes more important than ever to focus on strength / resistance training to elevate and preserve your bed of muscle tissue…
Not only for building the physique you want, but also to make your body more resilient against injuries.
Manage your cardio carefully
Cardio can knock you off balance by introducing greater physical stress…
Causing increased inflammation and overproduction of stress hormones like cortisol that cause you to hold onto more fat stores.
Too much cardio can create the exact effect you want to avoid, so don’t go crazy with it!
Additive movements
Combating stiffness has a wide range of benefits that go beyond simply feeling good when you move.
Being more limber can even help you get more juice out of your resistance training since you’re able to use smoother motions!
You can support your tendon and ligament health and feel great by doing more mobility work, foam rolling, and dynamic stretching.
Balance exercises
One of the most common causes of injuries as we age is a reduction in our balance.
This doesn’t only imply falls and more extreme injuries — I’m talking about regular minor issues that come up.
By working on your balance, you can spend less time in pain and move more effectively, so be sure to work balance movements into your daily routine.
Even a few times a week is enough!
