Abstract
In brief There's no better time than the years surrounding menopause for a woman to start or renew an exercise program. Exercise may reduce the immediate symptoms of menopause, and it decreases the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and obesity. The exercise prescription includes aerobic exercise, resistance training, and stretching components, and should be individualized according to the woman's exercise history.
