On the recording, (live Zoom session on 17th February 2022), I demonstate one set of each exercise, to show you the different ways of using both the long tube bands with handles & the mini looped bands

When exercising at home with these bands, refer to my example programme & ensure you are doing at least 2 (preferably 3) sets (rounds) of each exercise to get the full benefit, not just 1 set

If you are short on time, then select upper body exercises from the programme for one session & lower body for another session & split it into shorter workouts

Within this module you will find information on a wide range of nutritional supplements that can support different aspects of menopause. 

As with any supplements you are urged to do your own research and check with your Doctor whether it is suitable for you to take these, particularly if you have any medical conditions and /or are taking any other medications. 

Evidence/ research underpinning many of these is often lacking, and the assumption should not be made that they are perfectly safe to take just because they are readily available. 

Some women prefer to take  a more 'natural' approach to managing menopause and supplements can offer an alternative to more traditional/medial approaches.
