Navigating the challenges of menopause can be daunting, as it often brings low energy, weight gain, emotional shifts, and sleepless nights. However, there is a silver lining: you have the power to combat these effects! By focusing on building and maintaining lean muscle mass, you can significantly enhance your health and overall quality of life during this transformative period, and it’s easier than you think!

The Power of Lean Muscle in Menopause
As oestrogen levels decline, many women experience a loss of muscle mass – a condition known as sarcopenia. This can lead to:

Increased risk of fractures
Slower metabolism
Weight gain
Reduced physical function and mobility

Here’s why lean muscle is your secret weapon:

Reduced Risk of Fractures
Muscle mass supports bone health. Strength training stimulates bone density, helping lower the risk of fractures and osteoporosis – two major concerns for postmenopausal women.

Boosted Metabolism & Better Weight Management
Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat, even at rest. Keeping your muscle mass high can combat the natural metabolic slowdown of menopause, helping you maintain a healthy weight and energy levels.

Improved Mobility & Independence
More muscle means better balance, coordination, and strength – all essential for staying active, independent, and injury-free as you age.

Possible Relief from Hot Flushes
Some research suggests that greater lean muscle mass may help reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms.

WB EMS: A Game-Changer for Menopausal Women
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) training is a fast, effective, and low-impact way to build lean muscle, especially for women going through menopause.

Experience the benefits of a 20-minute EMS session once a week, a revolutionary approach that activates muscle fibres without requiring heavy weights or strenuous workouts. This method is gentler on the joints compared to traditional weight training, allowing you to focus on slow, controlled movements that maximise effectiveness. EMS not only strengthens visible muscles but also targets deep-seated areas such as the deep core muscles, pelvic floor, and spinal muscles

It is an ideal solution for busy women looking for results without overtraining or joint strain.

EMS Can Help Relieve Symptoms Like:

Anxiety & Mood Swings
Fatigue, Insomnia & Low Energy
Painful Muscles & Joints
Non Specific Back Pain
Weight Gain, Especially Around the Midsection
Incontinence & Pelvic Floor Issues

EMS not only supports muscle development but also enhances circulation, posture, and overall body function, making it a powerful complement to HRT or a natural alternative for those looking to avoid it.

Menopause can feel like a storm, but lean muscle is your anchor. Through strength training and innovative solutions like EMS, you can feel stronger, more energised, and in control of your health and body.

So, whether you’re struggling with symptoms or just want to future-proof your wellbeing, don’t underestimate the power of muscle.

Case Study:

Lindsey, 41, from London, has been EMS Training in London for more than a year.

“Before having my two children, who are now four and six, I was a long-distance runner. I trained for and ran marathons and did BodyPump classes to tone. That was my way to stay in shape, and it worked. But I had to do three BodyPump classes a week, plus my running, to see any results. It took time.

Time I didn’t have when I became a mum. I breastfed both my children for two years, and I struggled with post-pregnancy hormone weight gain, which I just couldn’t shift. I had no energy and just felt so blah; my body had taken such a hit. None of my work clothes fit, and going back into the corporate world felt so intimidating. I guess you could say I’d lost my mojo.

Before the pandemic, I commuted into central London daily; I work full time in the tech space. My husband is at work all day too, so I had literally no time to exercise. I couldn’t face going to the gym when he got home at 8 pm and I’m so not a 5.30 am workout person.

The EMS Studio is on my local high street, and I kept walking past, wondering what it was. One day, I decided to just call in, I went for a trial, and that was it, I was hooked.

EMS Training was a very powerful experience for me right from the beginning. I noticed a tremendous change in the first few weeks. It gave me hope that I could maybe get my old body back after five years dedicated to pregnancy and breastfeeding, that I wasn’t going to be stuck like an old chubby mum!
EMS helped me get my groove back and gave me hope that I could feel good again. I’ve seen a tremendous change in my posture, strength, and muscle tone. It’s expensive, but the benefits are worth it.

For me, the biggest pull is how it fits with my lifestyle; the time I have to spend working out versus the results. Even with my previous running and BodyPump schedule, I plateaued, and then nothing changed, no matter how hard I worked. This is a fast, full, and deep workout that’s impossible to get anywhere else. Just 20 minutes once a week and I’m done. And the results keep coming!

My trainer can focus on certain areas and really fine-tune the workout to target problem areas, and we always get cardio in. I leave shattered but charged up with endorphins and in such a good mood. It’s 100% changed my life.”
