Women’s Health and Fitness : A Practitioner’s Guide to Supporting Strength, Movement and Wellbeing at Every Stage of Life

This much-needed guide delves into women's health across the lifespan, exploring the changes in physical, emotional, and hormonal health. Thoroughly researched but accessible in nature, this guide offers professionals with practical advice on empowering their female clients to make informed choices and have more control over their health stories.

This comprehensive guide offers practical and evidence-informed strategies for supporting women's health across the lifespan. Each life stage is explored in a dedicated chapter, including adolescence, mid-adulthood, perimenopause, menopause and older adulthood, addressing the hormonal, emotional and physical changes that occur at each life stage. Structured around six core pillars of health - physical activity, restorative sleep, nutrition, stress management, avoidance of risk behaviours, and social connection - the book also includes case studies throughout, alongside personalised health plans and practical guidance to support effective client care. By addressing areas of women's health that are often under-recognised or under-treated, health and fitness professionals will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to support informed, sustainable lifestyle change. The book also empowers women who wish to take greater ownership of their health and wellbeing.
