3 Workouts to Avoid in January (For Women Going Through Menopause)

Starting January with enthusiasm is great, but certain workouts can sabotage your progress. For women over 40 or going through menopause, these exercises can lead to joint pain, fatigue, or even weight gain rather than results.

Imagine feeling strong, energised, and confident with workouts that align with your body’s unique needs. The right approach can help you shed weight, build muscle, and regain control—without overexertion or injury.

⛔️ What to Avoid
1️⃣ Endless Cardio: It stresses the body and burns muscle instead of fat.
2️⃣ Heavy Lifting Without Support: Risk of injury outweighs the reward.
3️⃣ High-Impact Workouts: Without preparation, they can harm joints and slow progress.

Instead, focus on balanced routines: strength training, low-impact cardio, and mobility work. These build muscle, boost metabolism, and protect your joints.

🔑 Here’s What Works Instead
In today’s podcast episode, we break down the type of exercise you should prioritise for results that last—without wasting time or energy. Your exercise plan should cater to your unique needs. Incorporate movement that feels good for YOU while targeting menopause-specific challenges like muscle loss and fat redistribution. The right approach can reduce hot flushes, improve sleep, boost mood, and build confidence. It’s about feeling strong and capable in your own skin again.
