During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen, can lead to muscle loss, slower metabolism, and increased fat storage. Building and maintaining muscle becomes essential not just for strength and tone, but for overall health, energy, and confidence. Lean muscle helps regulate blood sugar, supports bone density, and improves mood and cognitive function. Through targeted strength training and proper recovery, women can counteract these natural changes, preserving vitality and independence well into their 40s, 50s, and beyond.
