Maybe an odd question here, but does anyone have some good or hopeful stories to share about menopause and staying active or athleticism? Iāll be honest that the overwhelming majority of what I hear from women in that season of life is incredibly negative. Iām not saying the changes arenāt difficult, but as a woman nearing it in a few years Iām finding myself really dreading it or feeling like the active lifestyle Iāve led for years will soon be overā¦because so many women portray it as so bad.
Iām an avid hiker and cyclist (weekends only due to work) and train a mix of heavy lifting, pilates, yoga, and HIIT during the week. I stay on top of my mobility/stretching and recovery routines as well. My career is in physical therapy, mostly geriatrics with a lot of ortho and neuro. I always hear from women who see my activity levels, āOh just wait until you hit menopause.ā
Menopause and positivity
