Unlock Strength: Why Post-Menopause Women Need Strength Training
- •Strength training is crucial for women after menopause to counteract bone density loss and muscle mass reduction caused by estrogen decline.
- •Resistance exercises, using weights or bodyweight, stimulate bone-building cells and help maintain a healthy weight.
- •Experts recommend lifting challenging weights for 6-30 repetitions, working close to muscle failure for optimal results.
- •Bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and even getting up from a chair can effectively build strength.
- •Impact training (walking, running, jumping) and balance exercises (yoga, tai chi) are also vital for bone health and fall prevention.
Why It Matters: Strength training is essential for post-menopausal women to maintain bone density, muscle mass, and overall health.
