Why is Strength Training & Cardio Important in Midlife?
Preserves Muscle Mass: We have peak muscle mass at around 30 years old. Aging naturally brings the loss of muscle mass, and women in midlife experience increased losses with declining estrogen. Strength training helps to preserve and even increase it, keeping you stronger as you age.
Improves Balance & Mobility: Regular strength training enhances balance, coordination, and flexibility, helping you enjoy your daily activities more.
Boosts Bone Health: Loading muscle beyond body-weight only (i.e. weight training) is essential for women in midlife. Weight training increases bone density, preventing or reducing the development of osteoporosis.
Supports Weight Management: Strength training boosts your metabolism, helping you maintain a healthy body weight to prevent disease.
Heart, brain & metabolic health: Strength and cardio training helps prevent disease (e.g. heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes).
Mood Stabiliser: Research has proven the benefits of exercise for robust mental health. Exercise, including strength training, has been proven to boost mood and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Daily movement helps stabilise the effects of hormonal shifts in midlife.
