Estrogen protects tendons. As estrogen declines, tendons: Lose collagen integrity Become stiffer and less elastic Heal more slowly Tolerate less load It’s not weakness. It’s load intolerance due to hormonal change What actually heals it Phase 1: Calm the tendon (2–4 weeks) No stretching the hip. No aggressive bands. Instead: Isometric glute holds (wall sit with slight hip hinge) Pain-free walking only Sleep with pillow between knees Avoid sitting cross-legged. Phase 2: Rebuild tendon strength Progress to: Hip hinge RDLs Step-ups Slow tempo bridges Single-leg balance work No side-lying abduction early. These are the top mistakes: Foam rolling the side hip Stretching piriformis/glutes Clamshells in early stages Running hills or stairs Bootcamp-style band circuits All of these compress the irritated tendon.

Muscle in menopause is your MEDICINE. In menopause, muscle isn’t aesthetic — it’s literally preventive medicine. 1. Muscle is a hormone regulator. Skeletal muscle improves insulin sensitivity and helps stabilize estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. More muscle = better blood sugar control and fewer menopausal symptoms. 2. Muscle prevents metabolic collapse after 40. After menopause, women lose up to 1–2% of muscle per year if they don’t strength train. This loss drives visceral fat, slowed metabolism, and increased diabetes risk. 3. Muscle is protective medicine for aging. Higher muscle mass lowers risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia, and early mortality more than cardio alone. It’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term health in women.

Couples.. 1. Research together - keeps us connected. Life is better together. Increases engagement. 2. Stay prepared - fans, snacks, and understanding. It's more frustrating when you have to get prepared each time. 3. Patience - Transition isn't always easy. A great attitude makes Transition great!
