Weight training for women in menopauseWhy it’s important, what to do and the 4 mistakes you may be makingWhy is strength trining so important for women in menopause? As we age we lose muscle, this process starts around the age of 40 so if you're not actively building muscle you are losing it. This will slow down your metabolism and lead to having more fat on your body even though your eating the same and doing the same activityWhat to doLift 3-5 times a week, whatever you have time for the program you can stick to will be the one that’s most effective.Aim for no more than 45 min. When in menopause we want to focus on building the muscle, the most effective time frame in my opinion is 45 minutes, I don’t think anything good happens after 45 minutes if you are working out hard enough.The 4 mistakes you may be making1.Not lifting heavy enough 2.Not lifting with intention just going through the motions3.Doing cardio between sets and not resting4. Changing up your workouts all the timeI will link the video to a 3 day and 4 day program that I do I hope this helps!
