Holistic Body for Women in Menopause
Get motivated and be inspired to get up, get going, and transform your overall sense of wellbeing!
It is more important than ever to stay active, particularly in menopause, as with aging, keeping on top of your cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and bone density, that decreases as we get older, will benefit you in the long-term.
Always seek medical advice before undertaking any change to your diet or fitness regime.
Healthy Eating – Consider your diet and log what you eat, then plan your weekly meals according to your fitness goals. By making a commitment to improve your diet alongside your exercise, you will lose weight and get you into the best physical shape possible.
Fresh Air – Many of us spend our days on our phones or laptops, but there are huge benefits from being outside in the fresh air. It doesn’t have to mean pounding the streets. It could mean a stroll in nature or a gentle walk in your local area.
Fitness Activity – Resistance exercises or weight training are best, all you need is a mat and a pair of dumbells is the first step to getting the exercises done because once you’re wearing it, your brain engages, and you will start moving.
Group Classes – Loads of classes out there that are good for you and not just from the social aspect, team sports activities such as netball, trampolining, football, line-dancing, aerobic exercises are great for your wellbeing.
Relaxation – Consider activities that work your body & mind, such as yoga, pilates, or mindfulness and meditation. Low-impact exercises can provide flexibility, stretching, and relaxation that will keep you supple, especially in your latter years.
Indulgence – Self-care can also be joyful so enjoy a treat after a week of “being good” as a reward for your efforts; a hot soak in a bubble bath, a spa pamper day, a body massage, or have that special treat, you’ve learnt it.
Journalling – Plan your meals, your exercise plans, and note any feelings, thoughts, or expectations. Set goals or use it simply to unload when things get tough. This is the best form of self-analysis you can do!
