From the age of 30, we naturally lose lean muscle mass as well as bone density, and this process speeds up for women in menopause. Other physiological changes can mean exercise routines that were once a source of strength no longer work, too. But all is not lost—far from it.
“The key to aging well is to build muscle,” says Antonietta Vicario, chief training officer at fitness app Pvolve, which recently launched a six-week fitness program called Menopause Strong. It’s designed for women in perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause to improve strength, mobility, energy levels and mood.
