The below graphic outlines the physical activity for menopausal women -the 'gold standard'. Life is not always amenable to achieving the gold standard. We are here to help you-don't sweat it.
The principles:
1. Core Goals-Select 2-3 goals. Aim for consistency- commit to a set amount/type of exercise and stick to it.
2. Set stretch 'nice to have' goals-this is what you fit in for the times you are able to, this allows you to achieve #1.
3. Make sure you have strength training 2x/week as an element of your Core Goals.
4. Get creative-looks for ways to add in exercise or intensity with things you are already doing. For example, make your meeting after lunch a walking meeting.
