If you want your metabolism to work with you during menopause, you must give your body a reason to keep muscle.

Episode Summary:

Are you feeling frustrated with your workouts during menopause? You’re not alone! As estrogen levels decline, many women face challenges like fatigue, mood swings, and unwanted body composition changes that can make traditional workout strategies feel ineffective. In this episode of The Holly Perkins Health Podcast, I dive deep into the world of menopause workouts, addressing the unique hurdles women encounter during this phase of life.  

Show Notes:

As I share, “Many women increase their efforts in the gym but still feel exhausted and defeated. ” This episode sheds light on three common mistakes that can derail your fitness journey during menopause: overemphasizing cardio at the expense of strength training, neglecting progressive overload in strength routines, and avoiding heavy lifting due to fear of injury. These pitfalls can hinder your progress and impact your overall health.

Focusing on building lean muscle is crucial for maintaining metabolism and enhancing energy levels as we age. I encourage you to embrace a new approach that prioritizes strength training, progressive resistance, and safe impact exercises. This shift can significantly improve your body composition, boost your energy, and promote longevity.
