hi Peg,
I believe there are studies being done on this very issue, the effect of waning hormone levels of menopause on exercise and fitness level. It's part of a whole series of studies on the effects of hormones on women's fitness levels at all stages of life, and muscle loss vs. fat gain. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more on this important topic.
