Why do my joints ache more in menopause? 🩷

During perimenopause, this was a HUGE one for me.

Back. Shoulders. Hips. Ankles.

Getting out of bed in the morning was definitely not fun 😩 and there were days when I genuinely wondered why my body suddenly felt so stiff and old.

Joint aches and reduced mobility aren’t always the first things we associate with perimenopause and menopause — but for many women, they can be a very real part of it.

In this week’s Sunday Women’s Health, I’m sharing my own experience, why hormonal changes can affect our joints and mobility, and some simple things that can help.

I’ve also included a mobility workout you can try at home. 🩷

🚨 2 SPACES NOW AVAILABLE FOR WOMEN ON WEIGHTS! 🚨

A little change of circumstances means I now have TWO spaces available on my September WOW block. 💪🩷

So if you saw that it was sold out and thought you’d missed your chance… you haven’t!

Women on Weights is a 6-week strength training programme for women who want to get stronger, feel more confident using weights and actually understand what they’re doing.

Over the 6 weeks we’ll work on:

💪 The foundations of strength training
💪 Squats, hinges, presses, rows, single-leg work and core
💪 Choosing the right weights for YOU
💪 Good technique and safe lifting
💪 How to progress as you get stronger
💪 Building confidence with weights
💪 Strength that carries over into everyday life

You don't need to be experienced.
You don't need to already be strong.
And you definitely don't need to feel confident in a gym.

That’s what the programme is there to help you with.

📅 Starts Tuesday 8th September
⏰ 7.30–8.15pm
📍 Wyton Primary School
💷 £99 for the full 6-week block

I genuinely thought this group was full, so if you’d been kicking yourself for not booking…

Two chances have just opened up. 👀
