204: Why You Feel Out Of Breath Lifting Weights in Menopause and What’s Actually Going On
About this episode
Adele Johnston discusses the reasons behind breathlessness during exercise in menopause and how to manage it.
Why does something as familiar as exercise suddenly leave you breathless during perimenopause or menopause - and what is your body really trying to tell you? Feeling unexpectedly out of breath during workouts can be unsettling, especially when nothing about your routine has changed. In this episode, Adele unpacks why this common experience can show up during perimenopause and menopause - from hormonal shifts and nervous system sensitivity to stress and breathing patterns. Through a grounded, evidence-informed lens, you’ll gain clarity on what’s happening in your body and, most importantly, how to respond in a way that supports your energy, confidence and long-term health. 12 Minute Breathwork Method:https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/breathwork/ Watch The Menopause Coach (and see extra content from Adele): https://www.youtube.com/@TheAdeleJohnston ____________ Check out Adele's FREE symptom assessment here: https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/free-copy-of-our-symptom-assessment/ The Menopause Cheat Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ka-fN6J5DJW2J3IE0Qa80zFCKFXmTs4srlnlXYBf-gA/edit?usp=sharing If you want a chat for your future success, fuel yourself here…
