This week we tackle YOUR questions about women's fitness, and fitness in general. We cover considerations for perimenopause and menopause (also check out the episode titled Menopause & HIIT: Science vs. Social Media claims), cycle syncing (surprise - don't spend money on "miracle" programs), lifting heavy and the effects on joints as we age, sleep and sleep debt, what it actually means to lift heavy, and how often to train vs. rest.
