Why strength comes first
Falling oestrogen speeds up loss of bone and muscle. Progressive resistance training is the most reliable way to slow both, and it also supports balance, metabolism and mood.
Building up safely
Sessions start light and add load gradually over the first few weeks. Two supervised sessions a week is enough to see change.
Hot flushes, poor sleep and joint stiffness all affect how a session feels. Tell your trainer — intensity is adjusted, not abandoned.
