Shayna SappingtonFrom how to strengthen your pelvic floor to everyday low intensity resistance training, female fitness specialist Emma Dowling tells us how to listen to our bodies and find the best exercise for our life stage.Empowered Movement is so much more than a fitness program. My goal was to make a low-cost, one-stop shop for all busy women who want to start their wellness journeys.
Yes, this is my bread and butter – doing our situational best, getting out of the ‘all or nothing’ mentality and focusing on what we can do. In Empowered Movement, I have created my workout programmes so they can be done at home, using minimal equipment and are short but still effective. This loss can be counteracted by doing resistance training two to three times per week and getting enough protein in. Women in perimenopause and menopause should be aiming for 1.5-2g of protein per kilo of body weight. Strength training will also support our skeletal health by helping us maintain and build bone density.
