Strong Is the New Skinny

When navigating the absolute rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause, shifting your focus from the scale to your strength can be completely transformative.

During this time, your body naturally loses muscle mass (about 3-5% per decade after 30!)🤯, which affects everything from your metabolism to bone density. 

Building and maintaining strength through regular resistance training doesn't just help counteract these changes—it actually becomes your secret weapon against those frustrating symptoms. 

Strong muscles support healthy joints, improve balance to prevent falls, and boost your metabolism even when you're binging your favorite show. Plus, the confidence that comes from feeling capable in your body is priceless—whether it's easily carrying groceries, keeping up with grandkids, or finally mastering those push-ups. 

Many women find that strength training helps manage mood swings, improves sleep quality, and reduces those annoying hot flashes too. 

Remember, the scale can't measure how it feels to live in a strong, capable body that supports you through this new chapter—but you'll definitely feel the difference in every aspect of your life.
