Especially if they’re going through menopause, where hormonal weight gain runs rampant.
When going through menopause, women are often too tired to stay active, due to the hormonal changes that are happening in their bodies.
Soon they start sitting and lying down most of the time, with a bowl of snacks in hand, binge watching shows for most of the day…
After time, this sedentary way of life can and will speed up hormonal weight gain, making it easier to put on weight, but way harder to lose.
Many find it difficult because age-related issues and health conditions make it hard to stay active.
In a study of menopausal women, over 64% had a sedentary lifestyle. 16% of these had more severe menopausal symptoms compared to the women who stayed active.
This sedentary lifestyle, can cause even more detrimental health issues for menopausal women, like:
We would like you to join us in completing 36 miles in 21 days.
We know 36 miles seems daunting at first, but if you start slow and increase the distance you walk every time your body gets accustomed, it’s going to be a breeze for you!
By the way, 21 days is just a guideline!
If you feel like you need to take more time, do take it slower and do it at your own pace. Remember, staying active is a marathon, not a race.
To get you started this week, we will be sharing tips on how you can walk safe and walk smart, if you prefer walking over swimming & cycling:
(Important tip: See your doctor for a medical check-up before embarking on any new fitness program, particularly if you are overweight, haven’t exercised in a long time or suffer from a chronic medical condition.)
Tip #1: Don’t Forget To Warm Up
Always warm up before doing physical activity. Start slowly and do a few warm-up exercises and stretches first. Don’t walk immediately after a big meal.
Tip #2: Build activity slowly
You don’t have to force yourself to start strong. Start with a 20 minute walk then increase gradually. Make sure you try to walk at least three times per week.
Tip #3: Always Keep Track
It’s important to keep track of how far you’ve walked, to serve as a motivation and to see what your limits are so you can push past them!
Tip #4: Use the correct technique
Walk at a steady pace, swing your arms freely and stand as straight as you can. Your feet should step in a rolling action from the heel to the toe.
Tip #5: Shoes and socks
Footwear is extremely important! Wearing thick comfortable cotton socks, along with sensible, comfortable and lightweight shoes with support are best.
Tip #6: Weather
Wear suitable warm, light clothing in the winter and cool, comfortable clothes in the summer. Don’t forget your sunscreen and hat.
Tip #7: Water
It’s important to drink water before and after your walk. Bring along a bottle of water with you on your walk, especially in warm weather.
Tip #8: Cool down
Make sure you cool down after a long fast walk. Do a few stretching exercises before you start sitting down.
Tip #9: Be Aware of your Surroundings
Plan to walk during the daytime or in well-lit areas in the evenings. Keep an eye out for uneven surfaces, possible obstacles, and other tripping hazards.
