5 Strength Training Moves for Menopausal Women

Here are five excellent strength training moves for menopausal women, along with their importance and instructions on how to perform each one:

1 SQUATS

Squats are a compound exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core. They help build lower body strength, improve balance, and promote functional movement.

How To Do It:

Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned out.

Step 2: Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back, bending your knees, and lowering your body as if you are sitting in a chair.

Step 3: Keep your chest up, back straight, and knees aligned with your toes throughout the movement.

Step 4: Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as comfortable.

Step 5: Push through your heels to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

2 Push-Ups (Modified or Regular):

Push-ups are excellent for strengthening the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. They can also help improve upper body stability and posture.

How To Do It (Modified):

Step 1: Start in a kneeling position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the floor.

Step 2: Lower your chest towards the ground while keeping your body in a straight line.

Step 3: Push back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How To Do It (Regular):
