Exercise & Women’s Health
Benefits of exercise for women’s health.
There are so many benefits of exercise on women’s health. Often women do not prioritise their health and this is a huge issue. The value of exercise cannot be overstated when it comes to women’s health. Here are five reasons to make exercise a priority in your life:
1. Exercise Reduces Your Risk Of Dementia
Dementia is the leading cause of death for women in Australia. Exercise is one of her most effective ways to reduce the risk of developing this debilitating condition, according to a recent report released by the World Health Organization.
2. Exercise Is Great For Reproductive Health
Exercise is beneficial for those trying to conceive, during and after pregnancy. Living an active and healthy lifestyle can help you control your weight.
Exercise prescribed by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist is safe and beneficial during pregnancy. In fact, research shows that mothers who exercise during pregnancy are less likely to have overweight children. Babies born to active mothers also have better athletic performance.
3. Exercise Reduces Your Risk Of Breast Cancer
It is estimated that around 20,000 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in a year. Exercise assists in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer and other cancers. Exercise helps women to maintain their weight and healthy blood levels which reduce the risk of cancer.
4. Exercise Improves Mental Health
Exercise also improves mental health and helps protect women from conditions such as anxiety and depression. Currently in Australia, one in three women will experience anxiety in her lifetime. Being active can serve as an effective way to prevent and treat symptoms associated with this condition.
It is estimated that around 20,000 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in a year. Exercise assists in reducing the risk of developing breast cancer and other cancers. Exercise helps women to maintain their weight and healthy blood levels which reduce the risk of cancer.
5. Exercise Protects Against Cardiovascular Disease
Almost every hour of every day, an Australian woman dies of coronary artery disease. On average, that’s 20 women a day.
Studies show that women are much less likely than men to be hospitalised for heart attack or angina pectoris (chest pain).
For women, the risk of cardiovascular disease changes throughout life. It’s important to be aware of the risk factors that affect women and what you can do to protect your heart health. One of these measures is exercise. Exercise assists the heart to remain strong and manage good blood levels for a healthy heart.

“Knowledgeable and caring staff. After having chronic illnesses and multiple pelvic surgeries, I can finally exercise and achieve results in a manageable and safe way. I spent years trying to have it all and would just end up injured, in pain and very confused. I am grateful to have come across this business. Staff truly care about their clients and visiting never feels like a chore. Looking after your health and fitness CAN be that easy!
As a younger person with a invisible illness (Endometriosis and Adenomyosis), I was a little intimidated to think I actually needed “help” and that I might not be taken seriously as I didn’t think I needed “rehab” or “physio” etc. But with the guidance of their professional staff, I can see the how and the why certain things are done.
I couldn’t recommend Coordinated Fitness more. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”
