MenoWell 2 Laois

‘MenoWell 2 Laois’ is a FREE 6-week online expert-led and evidence-based women-specific exercise and lifestyle medicine programme to help women thrive in midlife and beyond.

We asked, participants answered (responses from 3,617 women who completed ‘MenoWell’) — and together, we have created ‘MenoWell 2’.

 ‘MenoWell’ has been shown to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, upper- and lower-body muscular strength and endurance, lower-back and hamstring flexibility, menopausal symptoms, subjective wellbeing, and physical self-efficacy. You can read our ‘MenoWell’ research paper HERE.
