Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30’s, so resistance training should also be added to your training from this point too.
We know from research and data that as we age, we lose bone density, muscle mass and are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to the decline in Oestrogen. What we also know is that by exercising and specifically adding in resistance training, we can improve the above too.
Resistance training has shown to:
- improve muscle mass 💪🏽
- Improve bone health, therefore reduce risk of osteoporosis and fractures 🦴
- Improve our cardiovascular health ❤️
- Improve mental health and confidence 😊
- Reduce the risk of injuries to our tendons, ligaments and soft tissue
- Reduce the risk of metabolic disease (diabetes)
Remember, it’s not Menopause that accelerates muscle loss and bone density, it’s AGE and INACTIVITY.
So do yourself a favour and start resistance training early 💪🏽.
