HIIT has got a bad reputation in the midlife fitness world. And honestly? I think it needs new PR.

In this episode, I’m digging into why high intensity interval training has been painted as the villain for women in their 40s and beyond, and why I think that’s a massive oversimplification.

Because the problem isn’t HIIT itself.

The problem is poor programming, too much of it, no progression, and expecting random online workouts to do the job of proper training.

I’m talking about why HIIT still deserves a place in your week, why plyometric work is one of the most overlooked tools for midlife women, and why this kind of training can support not just your fitness, but your bones, tendons, balance, power, confidence and resilience too.

We also get into the cortisol conversation, injury fears, pelvic floor worries, and why avoiding impact altogether may be doing you no favours at all.

If you’ve been told to slow everything down, cut out anything intense, and stick to gentle movement only… this one is for you.
