Online Webinar: Managing Menopause Through Movement

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.

Dr Gabi Gildea shared the latest research and practical strategies to help you exercise with confidence through perimenopause and beyond.

In this session we covered:

  • 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
