Menopause!
The ugly word, the stage in life that women seem
to dread! Menopause can be an easy transition if you change your diet and
everyday habits to be a more fit and healthy way of life. Simple changes can
really help at this stage in a woman's life. Every week I receive yet another
call from an amazing fit woman, a woman who has been working out most of her
life, being fit is just a way of life for her, she is a woman that is hitting
the "female" fitness road block called MENOPAUSE! She is frustrated and
upset that the workouts that she has been doing just do not seem to be working
any longer!
Ladies I have said this time and time again, you cannot stay toned and fit by spinning, yoga and running alone. Yes these are a great component of an overall fitness routine and I totally recommend them all, but they are not the ones that will keep your body toned and help your bones at this stage in your life. Too many women are taking cardio based fitness classes and not strength training too. Estrogen levels drop at this stage in your life, your muscles get weaker and muscle loss is inevitable if you do not strength train. An ideal strength training program is three 30-60 minute strength training workouts per week.
