Lindsey Fitness News - 11th November 2021 - Menopause Matters

Published: Thu, 11/11/21

A very apparent drop in the temperature this week, with some icy mornings and chill winds at the beginning and some milder days now.. Although I have to say its my favourite weather to go running and walking in. Cold and sunny last Sunday it was just great to be out with the running club enjoying the colours of Autumn.

Early morning HiiT exercise has preceeded the Mindfulness and Mobilisation online session for me and the the November Resetters this week. Participants have commenced the 14 Day Intermittent fasting programme following their preparation week. The mini HiiT has all the benefits of a longer workout to get them fat burning and firing on all cylinders as their bodies embrace this fabulous nutritional, mind changing fortnight. I can't wait to share more incredible transformations with you very soon.

The cooler weather then is also very welcome for me when experiencing those menopausal hot flashes and sweats!!!

A lovely Lindsey Fitness Member contacted me this week about a brilliant informational Menopause website recommended to her by her GP who is also a Gynaecology Specialist. So I am happily highlighting it in this weeks newsletter having had a look and found it a wealth of information!!!

Definition :

The menopause is when a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally.

Periods usually start to become less frequent over a few months or years before they stop altogether. Sometimes they can stop suddenly.

The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's oestrogen levels decline.

In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51.

FACT: More than 50% of the worlds population will go through the Menopause. Yes many don't really understand it, identify it's symptoms or talk about it!

FACT: There are at least 35 menopause symptoms, but you may not experience them all.

FACT: Regular exercise, in particular strength training through the menopause can help reduce symptoms, reduce body fat, strengthen muscles and burn calories more efficiently. (More about menopause and exercise next week)

Rock My Menopause is a campaign of the Primary Care Women's Health Forum (PCWHF), a group over 10,00 healthcare professionals with a special interest in women's health. They want to encourage women to recognise that their symptoms may be menopause and have the confidence to speak to their doctor if they are affecting the quality of their life.

The Rock My Menopause campaign was set up to make society more menopause aware, whether that's families, friends, employers or the wider public, to support women going through the menopause.
