Strength Training for Peri/Menopause
Strength training has long been shown to improve physical health benefits such as bone density and preserving muscle mass as we age (typically muscle mass declines 3-8% per decade after the age 30 if we do no additional activity).
Research shows the benefits of strength training and bone loading exercise at the peri/menopause stages of life. During each class, and over the 6 week programme block, you will be guided through a variety of exercises that challenge your muscle and skeletal system.
A mix of equipment will be used, ranging from body weight, hands weights, pulleys and barbells/Olympic lifting bar in a supervised circuit style class.
Work at your own level among other women who are looking to help improve symptoms of peri/menopause.
Strength training is low impact on joints whilst encouraging control of movement in a variety of positions to challenge the whole body. Alongside mood boosting effects of heavy (or, heavier that normal) lifting, it aims to improve overall physical conditioning and mental health.
Who is it for?
Ladies experiencing peri-menopause/post-menopause symptoms, and wish to manage symptoms and improve wellbeing.
