Stronger for Life: A Woman’s Midlife Workshop
About this Event
Stronger for Life is an intimate, interactive workshop created to help women build strength, protect their bones, and feel confident and capable throughout midlife and beyond.
Join Dr. Nicole Smith and Dr. Desiree Lyall for an approachable conversation about why strength training becomes increasingly important during perimenopause and menopause. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based strategies for maintaining muscle, supporting bone health, and exercising safely and effectively as your body changes.
Dr. Desiree will also guide attendees through simple, beginner-friendly movements that can be adapted to different fitness levels.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:
- Why women may lose muscle and bone more quickly during midlife
- How strength training supports long-term health and independence
- Where to begin if you are new to resistance exercise
- How to modify movements for your current abilities
- Practical ways to become stronger without feeling overwhelmed
Space is intentionally limited to 12 women so that attendees can ask questions, receive guidance, and participate comfortably.
