Muscle, Strength and Menopause

Why You’re Gaining Weight doing Cardio & HIIT classes (40+ Women)


Listen Later

Are you putting in the work—attending 6 a.m. spin classes, sweating through F45 or Orange Theory, logging miles on the elliptical—only to see your stubborn belly fat getting worse? If you're a woman over 40, your hormones have literally changed the rules of the game, and the "old playbook" of traditional cardio and moderate-intensity exercise no longer works.

In this episode of the Muscle Strength and Menopause podcast, host Sara Frenza, a certified nutrition coach, fitness expert, and hormone and menopause specialist, unpacks the science behind why your body is not responding to typical exercise in perimenopause and post-menopause and what you need to do instead to finally see results.

Learn the critical training shift you need to make to lose fat, build muscle, and get stronger in midlife without burnout, starvation, or shame.
