Are your workouts making you more exhausted instead of energized? Do you feel like you’re “doing all the things” and still gaining weight, struggling with sleep, or battling mood swings?

This episode of Simple Fitness Habits dives into hormone health workouts—and why what works for 20-something athletes isn’t always right for busy Christian women in seasons of postpartum, perimenopause, or high stress.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why overtraining, back-to-back HIIT, and cardio circuits can make hormone issues worse

How cortisol impacts belly fat, sleep, and mood when stress stays high

The basics of hormone-friendly fitness: strength training, gentle movement, and shorter workouts

How to adapt your workout plan based on your cycle, stress level, or season of life

Faith-filled encouragement to trust your body’s wisdom instead of pushing harder

You’ll hear practical steps like:

Keeping workouts under 30–45 minutes

Prioritizing strength training over endless cardio

Adding restorative practices like walking, mobility, and stretching

Training in rhythm with your season, not in resistance to it

Key Topics Covered:

Hormone health workouts for women
