EXERCISE AND MENOPAUSE

As a lifelong exerciser and sportsperson, I like to think I know what my body needs. During this transitional phase of life I’ve been focusing on activities like walking, yoga, dancing and, more recently, weightlifting. I like to make exercise fun, which in my case means going on YouTube and finding a new routine to do each time. It also makes me change things up instead of repeating the same moves again and again. Being gentle with yourself at this time in life is more important than achieving a certain goal. Listen to your body and what it needs, wants and enjoys, and then do that.
