Summary

This study tests whether a home-based strength training program using resistance bands can help menopausal women maintain muscle and bone health. Participants follow video-guided exercises and track their progress. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and liked by women, addressing common barriers like time, safety concerns, and lack of knowledge.
