Strength Training for Perimenopause

I tried Strength Training for irregular periods and mood swings but the results were mixed. the worst of the symptoms eased, but the side effects made it hard to continue. Worth trying but manage your expectations.

I started Strength Training after dealing with hot flashes and irritability for months. By week 4 I noticed I had more energy. At 12 weeks, my energy levels were back to normal. Would definitely continue.

My GP suggested Strength Training for my heart palpitations and anxiety. It took about 3 weeks to notice anything, but by week 12 my quality of life improved dramatically. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

After my GP said lifestyle changes should be my first step I started a structured strength training programme. The early weeks were hard but by month three the joint aches had reduced, my energy was better and I felt more like myself. The progress was slow but the cumulative effect was impressive.

I started lifting weights at 48 mostly for bone density but was surprised by how much it helped with my perimenopause symptoms. The mood swings became less severe around week six and I slept better on training days. It took a while to see results but twelve weeks in I felt significantly more resilient.
