The objective of the work was to determine the benefits of a physical exercise program applied to climacteric women through telerehabilitation to improve the level of physical activity and reduce the symptoms of climacteric. A research work was carried out with a quantitative approach of applicative scope, with an experimental design of a pre-experimental type, with a longitudinal section. The sample consisted of 33 women in the climacteric period in an age range between 40 and 62 years of age. The results of this physical exercise program, with respect to the Menopause Rating Scale test through an initial and final assessment, reflected a decrease of 76% with mild symptoms, 21% with moderate symptoms, 3% with severe symptoms and 0 % with intolerable symptoms. Regarding the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, it reflected the increase in the level of physical activity of the sample, with 3% the low level, 79% the moderate level and 18% the high level. In conclusion, the physical exercise program, which was carried out twice a week for a month and a half, reduces the symptoms of climacteric and increases the level of physical activity in the patients. The implementation of the physical exercise program as a lifestyle is recommended in people going through the climacteric.
