As hormones shift during perimenopause and menopause, many women are told to slow down, be careful, or “just walk more.” In this session, Susan Isichei explains why that advice is not only outdated — but potentially holding women back.

Susan, founder of Bodytonics, makes a clear, empowering case for strength training as one of the most important tools women have in midlife. She breaks down how muscle loss, bone density decline, joint instability, and reduced confidence aren’t inevitable — and how the right kind of strength training can protect long-term health while improving energy, posture, balance, and everyday resilience.

This isn’t about lifting heavy for the sake of it or training like you’re 25 again. It’s about building a stronger body that supports you through menopause and beyond.

If you want to feel capable, confident, and physically robust in midlife, this session reframes strength training as essential — not optional.
