Build Real Muscle! Your inpower Guide to Strength Training in Perimenopause and Menopause

If you live in Geneva and are going through perimenopause or menopause, you’ve likely noticed changes in your body. A loss of muscle mass and strength is one of the most common, but it’s not a life sentence. At inpower, we know that the most powerful tool to combat these effects is pure strength training.

This isn’t just any workout; it’s a strategy designed for hypertrophy (muscle growth). Let’s break down why this approach is the cornerstone of our programs in Geneva.

Keys to Hypertrophy-Focused Strength Training for Women 40+

Unlike workouts where the goal is just to break a sweat, at inpower we focus on quality and progression to achieve real results.

1. Focus on Reps and Sets (Not the Clock):
   • Progressive Overload: For a muscle to grow, it needs a progressively greater challenge. By working with a target rep range (e.g., 10-12 reps), we can focus on safely increasing the weight. This is the number one principle for building muscle after 40.
   • The Right Intensity: We ensure the weight is challenging enough to stimulate your muscle fibers without compromising your form.
2. Impeccable Technique to Maximize Results:
   • As your personal trainer in Geneva, my priority is your safety and effectiveness. Without the pressure of a running clock, we perfect every movement to activate the right muscles and prevent injuries.
3. Compound Exercises for a Stronger Body:
   • We prioritize exercises like squats, deadlifts, and rows. These multi-joint movements are incredibly efficient, strengthening your entire body, improving your bone health, and boosting your metabolism.
4. Strategic Rest for Recovery and Growth:
   • Rest between sets is where the magic happens. It allows your muscles to recover so you can give your all in the next set, ensuring you get the stimulus you need.

Your Strength Training Plan in Geneva

In inpower programs, pure strength circuits are the foundation. We recommend 2-3 sessions per week to build a solid base of muscle mass, which is essential for an active metabolism and a resilient body during menopause.

Remember: This type of training is your foundation, but how do we supplement it for even more energy? Find out in our post about Metabolic Circuits to boost your cardiovascular health.
