Workout After Menopause And Increase Your Quality Of Life

Kids playing are enjoying themselves tremendously. Their fun increases when they move their bodies even more. Nevertheless, getting older means for many of us that the fun part is not linked to exercise any more. Many of my clients over 40 have trouble getting themselves into the gym or doing any kind of exercise, making it challenging to lose weight permanently over 40.

But this doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, most people doing regular exercise get being in a better mood. If you exercise on a regular basis, you'll be more effective, feel more productive and your mood will be much more balanced.

Recent research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine investigated the results of exercise on the quality of life of menopausal women. All women were overweight or obese and had a desk-bound lifestyle. The women were put on 3 different exercise plans with changing intensity level. As always in these studies, a control group had no exercise at all.

The results are important. Some women did not lose any weight, despite of being on an exercise program- they apparently increased their calorie intake. But nevertheless, their quality of life improved. More exercise lead to better well-being, higher intensity of the exercise program leads to higher quality of life.

The exercise program offering the lowest intensity made the women feel better too. Of course, to lose weight permanently over 40 you have to incorporate physical activities in your lifestyle. But you shouldn't do it only because you want to lose weight. You will feel better and enjoy your life even more- especially if you are over 40.
