We know how easy it is to get stuck behind a desk all day, or in a car rushing from one place to the next, or focus on a list of endless chores.
With even the best intentions, work can just take over, as can responsibilities around the house, life admin, or running the kids around to where they need to be.
Or it may be that joint or muscle pain/aches are stopping you from wanting to move at all.
Come and join our community of walkers.
Our Menopause Walks are run across several locations across Berkshire.
How our Menopause Walks have helped:
“the menopause walks are a wonderful way to chat with like minded ladies, making you feel part of a group where no-one will judge. Getting out in the fresh air in an added bonus”
“joining these walks has inspired and motivated me to do more walking on other days. Thought these are my favourite as I get to meet other like minded ladies who are going through the same struggles. Faye has tapped into something irreplaceable. Support”
“I love these walks a great opportunity to get some gentle exercise and meet like minded women for a chat. This kind of connection and community spirit is to vital at this time of a woman’s life”.
Why walking?
For women in mid life, walking can be one of the most accessible and effective ways to support physical and mental wellbeing.
At a time when many women are balancing demanding careers, caring for children or ageing parents, managing households and carrying the invisible mental load of keeping everything running, finding time and motivation to exercise can feel overwhelming.
Menopausal symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, joint aches, anxiety, low mood, hot flushes and reduced confidence can become additional and significant barriers to movement, making even the thought of exercise exhausting.
Walking offers a gentle, achievable, alternative that meets you where you are. As confidence grows, it may lead to other things.
It doesn’t require special equipment, a gym membership or high levels of energy.
The benefits of walking are improved mood, a reduction in stress and anxiety, supportive of heart and bone health, easing stiffness, boosting energy levels and increasing time away from daily demands.
Rather than adding another task to your day, walking can become a chance to clear your mind, reconnect with yourself and others, and reset your day, giving you some much needed space to focus on just you, and be in the moment.
