🫣Menopause series - Part 3 💪Boost Your Metabolism During Menopause: Build Muscle for Long-Term Weight Management

Menopause brings many changes to a woman's body, including hormonal shifts that can slow metabolism and make weight management more challenging. One of the most effective ways to counteract these changes is by building muscle.

The Link Between Muscle and Metabolism

Muscle tissue is metabolically active, meaning it burns calories even when you’re at rest. In fact, muscle burns more calories than fat, helping you maintain a higher resting metabolic rate (RMR). The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day, making it easier to manage weight during menopause.

Strength Training: Your Key to a Faster Metabolism

As estrogen levels decline, the body becomes more prone to losing muscle mass, which can slow metabolism. Incorporating strength training into your routine helps you build and maintain muscle mass, which is crucial for keeping your metabolism working efficiently. Lifting weights, bodyweight exercises, and resistance training stimulate muscle growth and prevent muscle loss that can occur with aging and menopause.

Tips for Maximising Your Metabolism During Menopause

Prioritize Protein: Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. Aim to include lean proteins like chicken, fish, eggs, beans, and dairy in your diet.

Stay Consistent: Strength train at least two to three times per week to maintain muscle mass and keep your metabolism revved up.

Incorporate Compound Movements: Exercises like squats, deadlifts, and push-ups work multiple muscle groups, maximising calorie burn.

Get Enough Rest: Recovery is essential for muscle growth. Prioritise sleep and rest days to allow your body to rebuild stronger.

Today a client tried to bribe me.. She WAS successful 👀

🫣Menopause series 🫶
A few weeks ago we wrote a quick post about the benefits of weight training for people going through menopause. It sparked a lot of conversation in the gym. So over the next few weeks we'll be discussing the topic in a little more detail. Taking each bullet point from the first post and break it down.

🦴 Stronger Bones: Lifting weights improves bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis 💪

Weight training:
Mechanical Loading Principle: When you lift weights, you create tiny stress signals in your bones. These signals trigger bone-building cells (osteoblasts) to increase bone density. Regular resistance training can counteract up to 1-3% bone density loss annually

Pro Tips:
Lift weights 2-3 times weekly
Use compound exercises like squats and lunges

Your bones will thank you later! Who's ready to get stronger? 💥

💪 Why Weight Training is a Menopause Game-Changer! 💪

Menopause brings changes, but weight training can help you stay strong, healthy, and confident:

🏋️ Stronger Bones: Lifting weights improves bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
🔥 Boosted Metabolism: Build muscle to keep your metabolism up and manage weight changes.
😊 Better Mood: Weight training releases endorphins, easing stress and improving emotional well-being.
⚡ More Energy: Regular sessions can fight fatigue and keep you feeling vibrant.
🤸 Joint Support: Strengthening muscles can reduce joint pain and enhance mobility.

You don’t need to lift heavy—start small, stay consistent, and enjoy the benefits! 🌟 #StrongerThroughMenopause

When you respond to the negative things in life with reinvention, the sky is the limit.

In life we all suffer many obstacles. Granted some more than others. But the difference between you and that person you admire is the amount of times they overcame theirs.

This is purely speculative as I've never been on my death bed. But I doubt I'll get there and think "Crap! If only I had more money in the bank"

The importance of NOT being idle.

A client went travelling for 6 weeks. Upon returning they needed to:
- Settle back into their home life
- Catch back up with work
- Move house
- All the not fun stuff that comes with moving house
- A few important things I'm sure I'm not aware of

A busy individual for sure. But if they'd weighed in and kept an eye on their weight they wouldn't now be 4kg up. We all have busy lives. None of us have the time to yoyo between weights. Now even more effort is needed simply to return to where they were.

Let this be a lesson. You are not exercising or dieting to get to a specific weight. You are exercising and eating better to become someone that is the specific weight. The difference is that the habits you've picked up along the way become a part of you and are maintained. If we're just going through the motions to get weight off. Guess what. It's coming back!

😵6 Tips to reduce tiredness

Fun fact. If you don't get sufficient amounts of any of the following, you will die:
Oxygen, Water or Food. Crazy I know.

Here's some tips to improve tiredness.

1. Breathe! Some of us aren't getting enough oxygen because the amount of pressure their weight is putting on their system.

2. Hydrate - 47% of adults don't drink enough water! We are made of water. The wife of a team GB athlete, told me her partner didn't know he was supposed to drink more than 2L a day. If he doesn't know then it's no surprise the majority doesn't.

2.7L for women and 3.7L for men. Every day. Remember if you move more, increase it. Before you go to the doctors complaining of fatigue.. try hydrating properly for a few weeks.

3. Eat - Are you getting enough food? Most people yes. Some like my mum because she works too hard, possibly not. If you are getting enough food, are you getting good quality nutritious food?

4. SLEEP - Shock bet you didn't expect to see this on a list about reducing tiredness.
Nothing you are doing is more important than getting enough sleep. By not getting enough you are making everything you do harder. Everything. Staying up a bit later to watch the end of a sh*t tv show you barely care about, because you want to avoid it being tomorrow, is a really stupid plan. Tomorrow is coming.

5. Sunlight - Your mood has a significant effect on your energy levels, and you're not a great deal more complicated than a house plant. Getting enough Vitamin-D can help improve your mood, and with that your energy levels.

6. Exercise - It's possible that you're in a rut. Almost daily, definitely weekly, I have a customer tell me how much better they feel when they're leaving the gym. They've just exhausted themselves training, but they're leaving with a spring in their step. We aren't made to be stationary. When we exercise our body releases hormones to encourage us to do it again! This happens because, as it turns out, exercise is super good for you.

😴5 Tips to increase your energy levels

We have very busy lives these days. Children, work, social commitments. It's no surprise people don't have the energy to exercise too. Here are some tips to help.

1. An increased fitness level will lead to more energy, so force yourself to do something. Start small or start fun and you'll soon be fit.

2. Not everything you're doing is essential. Cut down on things that aren't serving you

3. Get stronger. If your job is a removal man and your weak, you're going to be exhausted by the end of the day. Or hurt your back...

4. Go to bed. "But I need a few hours to watch TV after the kids go to bed". You don't need it every night, you're over tired. GO TO BED.

5. Stop drinking so much. How many people find the time to socialize or have a few glasses of wine each night. Those glasses add up. You probably feel "Normal" in the morning. Not realizing your normal is about 20% less than you would otherwise be, because your use to feeling that way
