Many people experience less energy when they reach menopause. It is easy to get tired from high stress, poor sleep and lack of time to take care of yourself. You may skip training because there are other things that come first. Over the long term, this is a recipe for burnout.
Still tired in the morning, even though you’ve slept long enough?
Do you feel drained of energy, even though you haven’t done anything strenuous?
Do you suddenly get a “flat battery” – especially in the afternoons?
Are you stiff and sore all over your body without knowing why?
Do you have a stiff neck and back, with reduced mobility?
Does the stiffness after training last longer than before?
Has it become more difficult to open jam jars or carry heavy shopping bags?
Do you get tired faster when you exercise or go for a walk?
Are there activities that have become more difficult than before?
Menopause cannot be avoided, but many of the ailments can!
Regardless of whether you have trained a lot or a little so far in your life, training is extra important during menopause. Both strength and cardio training help against physical ailments and risk factors that come with age:
“Training is the easiest way to get more energy in everyday life, regardless of age.”
– Annema Refsnes, founder & head trainer
Many are reluctant to do strength training, and miss out on the benefits this has. If you have not done strength training before menopause, it is even more important to start now!
It may sound strange that training that makes us tired makes us less tired? During menopause, cardio training is just as important as strength, but you don't have to run long distances for it.

Menopause is a natural part of the aging process, when the body reduces the production of sex hormones (estrogen in women, testosterone in men). This happens to a greater extent in women than in men, and women usually also experience a greater degree of physical ailments.
Training can give you more energy, reduce pain and stiffness, and improve sleep. In some cases, it can also reduce hot flashes. Remember to start gradually if it has been a long time since you trained, to avoid overload and injuries.
Naardic is a training center, and not a medical service. You should talk to your doctor about any other forms of treatment, such as hormone patches, or if you experience symptoms that do not improve over time. Your doctor will certainly agree with us that training helps with menopause!
Menopause normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but symptoms can begin earlier (“perimenopause”). There is also early menopause, where the symptoms occur before the age of 40.
