Did you know strength training is a physical, mental and metabolic goldmine for women during perimenopause and post menopause?
We often hear about declining oestrogen levels and the heightened risk of bone loss or osteoporosis as we age. But here’s what I want more women to know: There are proactive ways to supplement what our hormones do—or once did. And strength training is one of those things.
Tune in for a great conversation with Aoife Okonedo Martin, global Women’s Health and Fitness Lead at Ultimate Performance. Their approach to personal training and wellness is now part of collaborative research with Cambridge University and Aoife is renowned for helping clients achieve phenomenal results - at any age.
You’ll learn:
- How strength training not only supports physical health, but also boosts metabolic and psychological well-being
- Difference between strength training and resistance training
- How to progress your workouts to maintain and build LEAN muscle
- Why building strength also means building resilience
- Truths and myths about muscle growth and fat loss
- Practical ways to introduce resistance training into your routine—no matter your fitness level
