Kettlebell Strength Workout for Menopause for Energy, Strength & Hormone Balance

This full-body kettlebell strength workout is designed for women in their 40's, 50's and beyond who want to build muscle, support bone health and boost metabolism in perimenopause, menopause and post menopause.

The workout is low-impact and joint-friendly, with a focus on strength, stability, and energy. It uses two kettlebells for an added challenge, but you can use just one or substitute a dumbbell if needed. The session is all standing, except for one kneeling exercise - you can do a standing version instead if you'd prefer to stay on your feet.

This workout helps support:

Hormone balance
Bone density
Lean muscle development
A faster metabolism
Confidence and energy in midlife

This session is suitable for beginners and intermediate levels. It's ideal if you're in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause and want to stay strong, fit, and healthy with simple, effective strength training.

If you're new here, welcome! I'm Kirsty, a certified fitness coach and menopause specialist who helps women in midlife feel confident and strong through movement that works with your body, not against it.
