Joy Puleo, the education director at Balanced Body, shared with GB News that certain exercises can assist women in managing their weight during and post-menopause. She emphasised the importance of building muscle mass and converting fat into muscle, as opposed to relying solely on traditional 'fat-burning' exercises.
Joy stated: "Strength training is a necessity to keep muscle tone in primary powerful muscles (think quads, glutes, hamstrings, pecs, biceps, triceps, and shoulders). Muscle tone starts on the decline as early as age 30 but sharply declines during the menopausal years. This is a great time to put strength training top of mind.
