I Started Moving to Survive: The Power of Women’s Exercise for Overcoming Menopause and Protecting Senior Health
Discover how exercise transforms lives for women facing menopause and aging. Learn about ‘muscle pensions’ and why building lower body strength is vital for a healthy, active future.
Hello,
This is Geomjin Gaja.
Recently, various media programs have broken stereotypes by highlighting the healthy lives of women dominating sports fields and the open sea, leaving a profound impression on many.
From housewives overwhelmed by daily chores and childcare to high school girls suffering from academic stress, and middle-aged women facing menopause—everyone is regaining their life’s vitality through exercise.
They all say the same thing:
Life is divided into before and after I started exercising.
The positive energy gained from having time entirely for oneself has completely transformed their lives.
In particular, the words of a doctor who started surfing in her 40s resonated deeply.
She confessed that at our age, the real financial planning we need is not money, but a ‘muscle pension’.
Our body’s muscle mass begins to decrease every year starting around age 30, and by the time we reach our 80s, it is said that only about half remains.
While we cannot stop muscle loss entirely, consistent exercise can drastically slow down the process.
In fact, a group of grandmothers with an average age of 75 had been performing lower body strength training twice a week for six years.
In a physical fitness test, they received excellent scores that are only given to the top 26% of their age group.
For seniors, lower body strength is more than just physical fitness; it is a lifeline.
As we age, the risk of falls increases, but having solid lower body muscles reduces the frequency of falls and minimizes injuries when they do occur.
Just like the cases of professional women who never skip their dawn workouts because ‘stamina is a competitive edge’ as they rise in rank, exercise builds not only physical health but also mental endurance and patience.
Many people say,
I’m too tired to exercise.
However, the best way to blow away mental stress and fatigue is actually to find an enjoyable exercise that fits your body and get moving.
For a successful retirement, why not start saving up your ‘muscle pension’ bit by bit starting now?
It doesn’t have to be a grand start. Try practicing light squats and stair climbing in your daily life.
To protect healthy muscles, the first step is a health checkup to accurately understand your body’s condition.
