Thriving Thru Menopause - SE3 EP6 Fitness in Menopause with Dr Maria Luque

Does exercise help with menopause symptoms?

*YES*. But the approach needs to be individualised and most importantly *FUN* says my guest Dr Maria Luque

Maria is a fitness expert, a health science professor and a menopause nerd who holds graduate and post-graduate degrees in health sciences and certifications and teaches at the College of Health and Human Services at Trident University International as well as being a freelance writer for fitness publications.

In this conversation, we talk about

* A new perspective on what movement is and how important movement and physical activity is during menopause
* And that while exercise may not eliminate all of your symptoms it definitely makes a difference but no one really knows how things go until we try it, that's why menopause is a time of exploration.
* How her research has indicated that there is reason to believe that specific types of exercise can have targeted effects for some menopause symptoms.
* Why her focus with her clients is always about the Improvement of Quality of life and enjoyment. *Without it, nothing matters.*
