Because Menopause isn't a Stop, it's a Go
You want to feel stronger walking uphill, less stiff after sitting and more confident carrying the shopping. You have probably thought about starting several times, perhaps even put your trainers by the door. Then you imagine the demanding class, the aching legs or another commitment in a diary that...
There are mornings when your trainers are by the door, your workout is in the diary—and your body seems to have made other plans. Your legs feel heavy, your shoulders ache, or your back needs a few careful movements before it is willing to cooperate. You may wonder whether exercising would loosen ev...
You open your diary to book a workout and immediately spot the problem. The space you thought you had on Thursday now contains a meeting, and Saturday is beginning to look suspiciously like another working day. You close the diary with a familiar thought: perhaps next week will be quieter.
