Address Your Symptoms With These Perimenopause Exercises! (Physical Exercise for Perimenopause continued)
Sports. If you are the sporty type, then you may want to try badminton or tennis. If you are a water person, then you may want to scout for a local pool, and set an appointment for some swimming time. Whatever your vibe, there will always be a sport for you.
Of course, it has to be a sport where you can exert your efforts physically. (I recently heard that Scrabble is now considered a sport. While it may be fun to play word games such as this, I don’t think these are the kinds of activities we have in mind here.)
Pilates. This is a relatively new physical fitness system. Developed in Germany by Joseph Pilates, it is also called contrology due to his belief that the mind controls the muscles. Specifically, this teaches correct spine alignment, concentration, control and breath awareness in its aim to strengthen the muscles.
You can do pilates by going to a group class, having private lessons, or alone (via instructional videos or books).
Tai chi. Also called “meditation in motion”, tai chi was actually developed as a mode of self-defense. The graceful motions are part of an exercise that involves stretching slowly and gradually.
Did you know that Tai Chi has more than 150 possible movements and positions? There are simple movements that you can easily do, and you can certainly experiment with other challenging positions if you wish.
This form of exercise unites mind and body to reduce stress, improve muscle strength, increase energy, develops balance and coordination, improves way of life (via sleep at night and alertness by day), lowers blood pressure, good for the heart, and is always coordinated with rhythmic breathing. Since it is a slow activity, even people suffering from arthritis and injuries can do it because it puts little stress on muscles and joints.
Weight lifting. If you are more of a gym-person, then you may want to try weights. This would keep your bones and muscles strong and will help you burn more calories in the process. Now if you are just starting out and you would like to try this, do it gradually. Try to have a trainer who can help you out. Some women claim to love this as they can do it even just once or twice a week.
Housework. If all else fails, there’s always tons of chores to do at home which won’t warrant you to do strenuous physical activities. You can do it in the comforts of your own home.
Exercise for perimenopause symptoms can really help you get that balance your body lost when you entered this stage in life. They’re easy and you just need a little time to do each one. Plus, they’re fun to do. Exercise will definitely assure you of a healthier, fit and livelier you.
