If you're navigating peri-menopause or menopause, you've likely felt the changes: weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, maybe even a drop in confidence. What many women don't realize? Strength training is one of the most powerful tools to support your body through it.

Here’s why:

1. You Protect Muscle & Metabolism
As estrogen declines, so does muscle mass. Lifting weights helps you maintain (and even build) lean muscle-critical for a faster metabolism and long-term strength.

2. It Supports Hormone Balance
Regular strength workouts help regulate cortisol, boost endorphins, and improve sleep-all of which impact mood, energy, and hormones.

3. It Builds Bone Density
Weight-bearing movements strengthen bones and help prevent osteoporosis-especially important during and after menopause.

4. It Reduces Belly Fat
Strength training improves insulin sensitivity and burns more fat, particularly around the midsection—a common struggle during menopause.

5. It Boosts Confidence in a Whole New Way
There’s something empowering about seeing your body get stronger week after week. Strength training isn’t just physical-it’s mental and emotional, too.
