Combat the changes that come with menopause
Our bodies change throughout our lives and although the common menopausal trope is around hot flushes and mood swings, there are physical changes to mitigate too, says Anne-Marie Lategan

Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycle and is normally diagnosed when your period has stopped for 12 months. But symptoms of the onset of menopause can be experienced for months or even years; hot flushes, chills, night sweats, sleep problems, weight gain and reduction of bone mass are the most common ones. Exercise can form part of a natural treatment to combat the symptoms of menopause. Experts advise that peri-menopausal or menopausal women should do a combination of cardiovascular and strength training as it helps control weight, increase bone density and reduce the risk of cardiac diseases.
►Warm up
