Why your muscles matter more than you think

💪 Your muscles are more than just a support system for movement—they play a critical role in metabolism, hormone balance, and overall health. Muscle mass naturally decreases with age, especially in women going through perimenopause and menopause, but it’s essential to maintain or even build muscle to support long-term health.

🧪 Research shows that preserving muscle mass can improve metabolism, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, support better insulin sensitivity, and help balance hormones. Strength training is a key strategy to preserve and build muscle, and it’s important to incorporate it into your routine, even if you’re not looking to bulk up.

🔧 Tip: Aim for at least 2-3 strength training sessions per week. Start with bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, or resistance bands. Focus on compound movements like squats, lunges, and push-ups to engage multiple muscle groups at once.
