"Full Body Armour" you will hear me say this all the time, your muscles are your armour. Never lose sight of this we need strong muscles to protect our quality of life, freedom of movement and independence. Focus is on nurturing strength training exercises designed to help you use as many muscle groups as possible. We train to protect our increasingly vulnerable joints, particularly during midlife the menopause causes us to have constantly fluctuating hormones which can impact our connective tissues and stunt the growth of muscles. Loss of muscle can sneak up on you and can have devastating consequences on your life. Two strength/resistance training sessions per week with Two days of rest in between ensures quality recovery and increases one's ability to grow lean muscle mass. Always working to prevent injuries and inflammation along the way. This is an Eight week programme designed to help you starting from where you are today. Using body weight, bands, tins, and gradual increases in weights we can progress through the programme. We use various muscle stimuli so we can grow safely.
