Whether you're just starting to think about strength training, noticing changes in your body, or wondering if your current routine is enough, this workshop will help you understand what really matters.
Join Dr. Shawna Dingman of Elevate Women's Health Centre and Jennifer Sawyer of North End Fitness and Training as they bring together two perspectives on building strength for life.
Being Active Is Great. But Are You Building Strength for the Future?
You might walk every day, love yoga or already lead an active lifestyle. But are you building the strength you'll need in 10, 20 or 30 years?
And how do changes like perimenopause and menopause affect what your body needs?
Let's explore what it really takes to stay strong for life.
What You’ll Discover
Are you actually getting stronger, or just staying busy?
Love walking, yoga or Pilates? Great! But is that enough? Find out what really helps you build strength and why it matters.
What does your body need as you get older?
From your 30s through menopause and beyond, your body changes. Learn what that means for your muscles, bones and the way you exercise.
What does balance have to do with strength?
More than you might think! Discover why being strong isn't just about lifting weights, and how movement and coordination fit into the picture.
Okay, so where do you start?
Whether you've never picked up a dumbbell or you're already a gym regular, get practical advice to help you make the most of your workouts.
If you want to understand your body better and support it long-term, you’re in the right place.
