Who it's for
Women in perimenopause or after menopause who are new to lifting, returning after a break, or training without a plan. It is general exercise guidance, not medical advice.

Questions
Do I need a gym?▾
No. Choose home with no equipment, home with bands and dumbbells, or a gym, and every exercise is picked for what you have.
I've never lifted weights.▾
Then you start on the first rung of each exercise. The plan tells you when to move up.
How long are the sessions?▾
About 30 minutes in weeks 1 to 4, 40 in weeks 5 to 8 and 45 in weeks 9 to 12. On a bad day, a 15-minute minimum session counts.
I have osteoporosis.▾
Your plan follows the UK consensus on exercise for osteoporosis: no sit-ups or crunches, back-extension and balance work from week 1, and impact limited to heel drops and stomps until your doctor or physical therapist agrees.
Will it help my hot flashes?▾
It might. In one trial, 15 weeks of strength training cut moderate to severe hot flashes by 43.6%. One trial is not proof, so we don't promise it.
Is this an app?▾
It is a PDF you can print or keep on your phone. If you'd rather have tracking done for you, that's the Perimenostage app.
What if it's not for me?▾
Refund within 30 days with one button in Your library. The charge shows as LINK.COM* PERIMENOSTAGE.
Your 12 weeks, built from your answers.
Six questions, then see week 1 free.
30-day money-back guarantee.
