​Navigating perimenopause and menopause brings a unique set of challenges—hormonal shifts can result in weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, loss of libido, anxiety, aching joints and brain fog, to just name a few.
However carrying excess weight in midlife and getting into a healthy weight range is not out of reach and does not have to be complicated.
To manage your weight, energy and health into old age, you need to establish two key things in your life:
A regular strength training routine AND eat more protein.
Welcome
Meet Edwina
Hi, I’m Edwina, a PT and Certified Menopause Health Coach, and I’m passionate about helping midlife women thrive through their menopause experience.
Having owned my own PT studio, Strengthworx, and running many menopause education and strength training programs online, I want to continue educating women about how to take control of their bodies through strength training and good nutrition to live a long life free of injury and illness.
I have seen many clients transform their bodies through regular strength training, freeing themselves of excess weight, pain and low confidence. They have taken back control of their health, allowing them to do all the things they love to do, feeling strong in their bodies and more confident rather than worrying about their weight.
​
My goal is to redefine what healthy aging looks like and feels like because when we feel better, we live better.
Why Strength Training?
Muscle is your metabolic currency as you age.
Strength training helps preserve and build your muscle.
This means the more muscle you have on your body, the more efficiently
your metabolism burns fat.
Strength training means you will change your body composition.
from carrying less fat to more lean muscle, this will in turn give you
a tighter physique.
Strength training also exerts force on your bones, which means we strengthen
our bone density, protecting us from osteoporosis.
(1 in 2 women will have an osteoporotic fracture from 55.
This is usually a hip or shoulder fall, significantly impacting
their life and mobility).
Additionally by prioritising protein at every meal you will feel full for longer, which will stop snacking between meals, your blood sugar levels will remain steady, giving you a steady release of energy and protein supports bone density and strength, which again helps prevent osteoporosis.
It is never too late to start.
The main thing is that you do start.
Little and often will produce significant results.
This is why I created my Midlife Strength Training Series.
