Menopause and Exercise on Cambridge Radio
Why Running Won't Save Your Bones (But Kettlebells Might)
Maggie and I recently joined Cambridge Radio to talk about menopause and exercise, and honestly, we could have talked for hours. We covered why strength training matters so much more than cardio once your hormones start shifting, how a 20% drop in bone density at menopause isn't inevitable, why keeping your runs under 45 minutes protects rather than punishes your body, and the small daily movements that make a genuinely big difference to insulin sensitivity and muscle mass. We also got into the messier stuff - the pressure to look a certain way "through" menopause, the jokes that still sting, and why rest is just as important as reps. It's a conversation about taking care of yourself, not pushing harder.
