Is Pilates good for low libido during perimenopause?

Exercise

Pilates can be helpful for managing low libido during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in low libido.

The key with Pilates for low libido is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when low libido is more severe, a gentler approach to Pilates may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Pilates specifically may help with low libido through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular Pilates, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for low libido than occasional intense sessions.

PeriPlan's day-type system adapts your workout recommendations based on how you feel, so your Pilates sessions are always matched to your readiness level.
