By Avoiding the 3 Most Common Exercise Mistakes Women Make During Menopause

(the secret to the right exercise for menopause? - Too much cardio can increase inflammation and cortisol, drains your energy, and prevents weight loss!  Get the details in the video...)

Exercise for Menopause Mistake #1

Get rid of long stretches of high intensity cardio. 

For example.. all swimming and cycling with no walking might be too much!  Try a nice rapid walk or a hike.

Exercise for Menopause Mistake #2

You don't take enough time to warm up. 

This can lead to injury:(  Where you used to do 5 minutes or warmup (or none) do a full 10 minutes.

Exercise for Menopause Mistake #3

Crunches and sit ups!  Really - ditch em.  They're not great for your low back or neck and not great for flattening your tummy.  

Try bracing exercises like plank pose instead.
