Joe Wicks Sparks Debate with Menopause Strength Workouts Announcement on YouTube

The Body Coach, Joe Wicks, has sparked a debate on social media with his announcement of ‘two menopause strength workouts’ set to launch on his YouTube channel. The 38-year-old fitness guru shared a preview of the workouts on Instagram, featuring a full-body low-impact session and a no-jumping dumbbell workout.

While many women expressed gratitude for the tailored workouts, some criticized the idea of labeling exercises specifically for menopausal women. One commenter called it patronizing, while another argued that women with life experience should not be singled out for special workouts.

On the other hand, supporters of Joe Wicks praised him for raising awareness about menopause and the need for different approaches to exercise during this stage of life. Women’s Health Collective panellist Kate Rowe-Ham emphasized the importance of adjusting training routines to accommodate the symptoms and changes that come with menopause.

The debate continued on social media, with some women appreciating the focus on menopause-specific workouts and others questioning the necessity of such labeling. Ultimately, the discussion highlighted the importance of understanding and adapting exercise routines to meet the unique needs of women going through menopause.
