How The Smart Fit Method is ideal of Menopause Fitness
It starts earlier than you think.
Perimenopause can start in your mid-30s.
Women typically begin losing muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, around the age of 30. This process accelerates with age, especially after menopause. On average, women lose about 3-5% of their muscle mass per decade after age 30. This rate may increase to 10-15% per decade after age 60.
Menopause brings significant changes to your body, including decreased estrogen levels that lead to muscle loss, reduced bone mineral density, metabolic shifts, and weight gain (especially around the midsection).
Postmenopausal muscle mass decline slows metabolism, making weight management more challenging, while bone density loss increases fracture risk and the chance of osteoporosis.
We designed The Smart Fit workout program to help women going through menopause. Our personalized approach that leverages cutting-edge technology and expert guidance to counteract these changes effectively. Through tailored training plans using OXEFIT for cardio and endurance, CAROLE Bike for high-intensity interval training, and ARX for adaptive resistance strength training, menopausal women can safely build lean muscle, improve bone health, and boost cardiovascular fitness.
In addition to physical benefits, this integrated approach supports mental and cognitive health. Menopause often coincides with emotional stressors such as aging children gaining independence and caring for aging parents. Smart Fit’s wellness offerings, including sauna sessions, cold plunge therapy, and Lumati infrared treatments, help reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and promote overall well-being.
Components of a Workout for Women's Health
A comprehensive Smart Fit workout for women experiencing menopause combines personalized training with advanced technology and wellness therapies to address the multifaceted challenges of this life stage.
Personalized Training with ARX Resistance
ARX (Adaptive Resistance Exercise) technology provides dynamic strength training that adjusts resistance in real-time based on your effort. This allows for safe, efficient muscle strengthening tailored to your current capabilities, which is especially beneficial during menopause when muscle loss and recovery times vary.
ARX training targets major muscle groups to improve muscle mass and bone density, helping reduce fracture risk and support metabolic health.
Cardiovascular Fitness with OXEFIT and CAROL Bike
OXEFIT offers guided cardio sessions that focus on improving endurance and oxygen uptake, vital for heart health during and after menopause.
CAROL Bike delivers high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in short, efficient workouts that boost metabolism and help counteract the metabolic slowdown common in menopause. These sessions are low-impact, making them joint-friendly while delivering maximum cardiovascular benefits.
Flexibility, Balance, and Pelvic Floor Training
Alongside strength and cardio, Smart Fit programs incorporate flexibility and balance exercises that improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and lower fall risk.
Pelvic floor training is included to address urinary incontinence and pelvic organ support issues common in postmenopausal women.
Wellness Therapies: Sauna, Cold Plunge, and Lumati Infrared
Smart Fit’s wellness offerings complement physical training by promoting recovery, reducing inflammation, and enhancing mental health.
• Sauna sessions aid detoxification, improve circulation, and support relaxation.
