Strength Training During Menopause

What if getting stronger as you get over 50 didn't mean an intimidating gym, expensive equipment or having done it before?

Muscles may be more difficult to maintain, joints may feel more stiff, balance may be less reliable, and day-to-day activities may take more effort.
