Exercise and Menopause Relief
Exercise and Menopause Relief
Finding menopause relief is something that you need to do.
No matter what your symptoms may be, there are several ways that you can find
some help for getting through them.
The hardest part of the process is finding the best overall method for relief for
your specific lifestyle.
You can talk to your doctor about hormone replacement medications, you can
incorporate herbal remedies for help or you can take into consideration your diet.
But, one thing that you will want to incorporate even still is that of
exercise.
Believe it or not, having the right amount and the right types of exercise in
your daily life can actually help you to better your menopause symptoms.
How To Do It
Now, when we say exercise, you should not think to yourself that you are too out of shape, too old
or it is just too hard to add this into your life.
The fact is that doing any type of exercise will get the body moving and will
ultimately make you feel incredibly better.
Even if your menopause symptoms are minor, you can find relief from them, to some
degree, just by incorporating some exercise.
What you do and how much you do is really up to you. You should never do anything that causes you
an overly unbearable amount of pain either.
Your goal is to insure that your body is feeling better, not strained or hurt.
Here are some things to take into consideration.
- Incorporate a walk in the morning and at night. While walking, swing your
arms and walk at a fast but comfortable pace. When you do this, you increase your heart rate
and gain cardiovascular benefits.
- Try to do some strength training. If you can, work with a trainer to help
you. If not, work on adding a few free weights to workout programs.
Or, find more challenging tasks to do during the day. Your goal is to build up some of your
muscle mass here. Do not worry you will not look bulky!
- Flexibility is also important. Here, you will want to try to increase the
range of motion that you have. Just doing stretching exercises daily can help you to feel
better.
So, what do you get from doing these exercises? You will be able
to find that your body feels better physically.
In addition, symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia are
limited.
