Online Webinar: Managing Menopause Through Movement
Monday, 17 August 2026
6:30pm - 7:30pm
Online
Perimenopause and menopause are significant transitions that bring hormonal changes affecting muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular health and metabolism. While these changes are a normal part of ageing, the right type of exercise can play a powerful role in maintaining strength, health and quality of life.
After our sold-out in-person event, many women asked for an online version. So we're bringing this evidence-based session back!
Join Dr Gabi Gildea (PhD, Accredited Exercise Physiologist) as she shares the latest research and practical strategies to help you exercise with confidence through perimenopause and beyond.
In this session, you'll learn:
How hormonal changes influence muscle mass, body composition, bone health and cardiovascular health
Why strength training becomes increasingly important during midlife
The role of impact exercise in maintaining healthy bones
How aerobic exercise supports heart health, metabolic health and healthy ageing
Practical exercise recommendations you can confidently apply
If you're unable to attend the online meeting, a recording will be made available to all registered participants.
