Getting your heart rate up regularly becomes especially important for women over 40.
As we move through perimenopause and menopause, changes in hormones and body composition can affect cardiovascular health, muscle mass and metabolic health.
Here are some benefits of regularly getting your heart rate up:
Protects your heart
Regular cardio strengthens the heart and improves circulation, helping reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
Supports metabolism
Higher-intensity exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and how efficiently your body uses glucose.
Helps manage menopause changes
Exercise can support mood, sleep, energy and overall wellbeing.
Builds resilience
Getting breathless during exercise teaches your cardiovascular system to cope with greater demands
This doesn’t mean doing exhausting cardio every day, though!
Aim to regularly exercise at an intensity that makes your heart beat faster and your breathing harder.
A combination of brisk walking, running, classes and strength training is a great way to support your fitness and overall health.
Have you got your heart rate up yet this week?

ALERA STUDIO is right beside my studio in Ellon, and I’ve been keen to try it since it opened a few months ago 😍
I love both yoga and Pilates, but Friday night was the time I could make it along, so my sister and I booked Yin Yoga with Louisa. That’s the one where you hold poses for longer to get a deep stretch...
The studio is beautiful! Lots of plants and calming, zen lighting — you instantly feel relaxed as soon as you walk in. Louisa was so welcoming and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the class. She gave options suitable for all levels for each pose.
I already do pigeon pose regularly, but with her guidance, I managed to adjust my position and really felt the difference!
I firmly believe that, for optimum health and to feel your best, you should aim to incorporate cardio, strength training, and movement and mobility work such as yoga or Pilates into your weekly routine.
I’m buzzing to have somewhere like this so close to my work, and I can’t wait to try the reformer classes next!
If you haven’t been yet, definitely get along and give it a go 🧘♀️ ❤️

Women NEED to impact their joints as they get older.
Jumping, landing, lifting and carrying are all ways we can safely expose our bodies to load and impact.
It helps to
Support bone strength
Strengthen muscles and tendons
Improve balance and coordination
Maintain functional movement
Build resilience to everyday impact
We shouldn't avoid impact. We should train our bodies to handle it!
Include jumping and landing as well as lifting and carrying in your workouts. Skater hops are a great way to start 💪😍
