American Council on Exercise (ACEFitness) Continuing Education: Menopause and Exercise

In her insightful article for ACE Fitness, Dr. Wendy Sweet, founder of My Menopause Transformation (MyMT™), delves into the unique challenges women face when exercising during menopause. Drawing from her extensive research and personal experience, Dr. Sweet highlights how hormonal changes can impact energy levels, joint health, and recovery, making traditional high-intensity workouts less effective or even counterproductive for midlife women.

She emphasizes the importance of adapting fitness routines to align with the body’s evolving needs during this life stage. By focusing on restorative practices and understanding the physiological shifts occurring, women can maintain their health, manage symptoms, and continue to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity.

Dr. Sweet’s approach offers a compassionate and science-backed perspective, empowering women to navigate menopause with confidence and vitality.

“If you have ever wondered if there was a clear easy plan to follow to sleep all night, reduce hot flushes and prevent or reduce your weight gain during menopause, then ‘welcome’ – you’re in the right place now.”
