JAKARTA - When entering the period of menopause, women will experience a decrease in hormone levels of estroge. This can lead to weight gain, which must be handled wisely so as not to interfere with the health of the body and mental.

One of the things that can be done to deal with weight gain during menopause is with exercise. The most appropriate choice of exercise for body health when entering menopausese age is muscle strength training.

Move Inc. & Menopaus Transition Coach founder Mia Fitri said that with muscle strength training, you can maintain muscles and tighten your bones well, especially during menopause.

"Strength training is the best anti-aging, why? Because he maintains muscle mass and strengthens bones," Mia said in the Kebayoran Baru area, Jakarta, on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

Strenght training is a type of sport that aims to increase the strength and durability of the toot by providing a burden on the muscles. This burden can come from the dumbbell, barbell, band resistance, or weight itself.

In carrying out the growth training, Mia said it was necessary to do it consistently with the appropriate equipment weight to get maximum results.

"But lifting the burden is quite challenging, yes, because not all weight training adds muscle mass. If you lift the load, it's only 1 kg and usually carries a 6 kg child, so it won't be cloudy," he explained.

Doctor Ni Komang Yeni, Sp.OG, MM, MARS, also said that muscle strength training is very important for menopaus women.

This is to prevent loss of muscle mass commonly experienced by menopause women, which can lead to body imbalances and other health problems.

"Don't lose too much muscle mass. Many women, especially before and during menopause, experience sarcopene (loss muscle mass) naturally," concluded Doctor Yeni.
