Menopause, Movement, and Mental Health
03/14/2024

How does movement connect to mental health during menopause? According to this study, pretty significantly. Menopause isn't just hard on our bodies, it can be tough on our minds too. Between physiological changes, nasty side effects, and roller coaster emotions, we can feel out of shape and out of our minds.

This study looked at over a hundred women to see what exercise could do during menopause. The researchers found that physical activity may support mood and overall quality of life for women during this life stage — and that the relationship runs two ways. Not only can movement support a more positive outlook directly, it also supports how women feel during the menopause transition, which can further contribute to a positive outlook. Win-win. The study also found that you didn't need to complete back-to-back IronMan challenges to get these effects — both walking and yoga were found to be effective. And improving cardiorespiratory fitness may help women feel better and more energized during the menopause transition too.
