My Take on Hormone Patches

DR. JEN’S TRIPLE-A WORKOUT • Arms, abs, and ass—menopause hits ’em hard. Take back control with three powerful, total-body exercises. (No gym required!)

PUSH-UPS THREE WAYS • Maintain good form: Don’t lock your arms at the top of the movement; this can cause muscle strain and injury. Instead keep your elbows slightly bent, and make sure you are going through a full range of motion. If you’re feeling fatigued, give yourself a rest before doing another set. Remember to breathe!

PLANKS THREE WAYS • Maintain good form: Whichever position you choose, your back should form a straight line from your head to your hips. Don’t arch your back or let your hips sag to the floor; squeeze your butt muscles if that happens. Keep your eyes on the floor, and remember to breathe!

PROPER SQUATS • Maintain good form: As you squat, keep your toes in line with your knees. Resist the urge to lean forward; you should not be bending at the waist.
