STRENGTH TRAINING THROUGH MENOPAUSE

Strength training becomes even more important for women as we move through perimenopause and menopause.

During this stage of life, our bodies naturally lose muscle and bone density — which can increase the risk of sarcopenia (loss of muscle) and osteoporosis. This doesn’t happen overnight, but without resistance training it does happen steadily.

That’s why lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about health, independence, and long-term quality of life.

In Ladies Who Lift, we focus on building strong muscles and strong bones, helping your body stay resilient, powerful, and capable as you age. Resistance training helps to:

Maintain and rebuild lean muscle
Strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk
Support joint health and posture
Improve balance and stability
Boost energy levels

And just as importantly, it supports your mental health.

Menopause can be a challenging time emotionally as well as physically. Strength training gives you structure, confidence, stress relief, and a sense of control over your body when so much else feels like it’s changing.

These sessions aren’t just about lifting weights.

They’re about building strength for life, physically and mentally.

Strong muscles.
Strong bones.
Strong mindset.
