STRENGTH TRAINING = a non negotiable for all women. I'm not going
to sugar coat this one especially if you're over 40 š
Read the numbers!!! š š
Did you know muscle mass declines by 3-5% per decade in inactive peo
ple. Muscle loss will impact your strength, overall moment quality, movement confidence and your posture.
Did you know we are still seeing low numbers of women engaging in
resitance training, women especially around 18-35yrs are mostly engaging in pilates, yoga and cardio.
Did you know that at around 40 we start losing muscle š³ (maybe even earlier). That loss is more pronounced during the menopause transition, as hormonal changes accelerate the loss of lean muscle mass independent of aging. Our primary focus is LEAN and STRONG. We want to put as much muscle in the bank as possible
Did you know, our Peri-menopause women should be participating in full body strength sessions 2-3 x a week, limiting excessive & prolonged steady state cardio! Our goal with women in this transition is creating a lean and str
ong body and challenging the nervous system like jumping/crawling.
Did you know that without intervention, you can lose up to 50 percent of your lean skeletal muscle mass by your 80th birthday š¬ those changes donāt happen overnight and the more muscle you build and bank now, the stronger, more resilie
nt, and better youāll perform down the line.
Did you know, strength training also can help maintain bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and is recommended to do 3 x full body resistance training sessions per week? plus appropriate multi-directional movement, jumps or bounding and focusing on falls prevention.
Did you know, many of our senior women 60+ fail to meet minimum requirements. The decline in strength and physical activity can make it harder to perform everyday movements.
So, no matter your age, sport or whether youāre pre- peri- or postmenopausal, strength training SHOULD be a non-negotiable part of your training to stay strong for life.
Happy Lifting šŖ
