Once you reach postmenopause, your hormones are low and stable. If you're already consistently active (moderate to high activity level), then there’s some good news. New research (published this month) in Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews shows that exercise can potentially offset the negative impacts of estradiol loss by activating similar molecular pathways as estrogen, thus aiding in the preservation of health during the postmenopausal period.
In simple terms, delaying physical activity until well into menopause reduces the effectiveness of exercise, so if you don't already have an exercise habit before you reach menopause, be sure to get one! Assuming you are already moderately or highly active, then here are some other tips I’d suggest:
Keep lifting heavy—but rest more: Your recovery time is longer now. Adjust volume, not intensity.
Power and mobility are your friends: Explosive movements, yoga, and active recovery will all pay dividends.
Stay social and strategic: Train with others, follow a plan (consistency matters!), and track how you feel.
Your goals: Maintain strength. Prevent decline. Stay sharp and mobile.
