121 | Stop Overdoing Cardio - The Better Way to Burn Fat in Menopause

Are you still stuck in the "more cardio = more weight loss" mindset?   If you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause trying to lose belly fat, support your hormones, and not feel wrecked afterward, this episode is for you. We're cutting through the noise and breaking down exactly how much cardio you need, and more importantly—what kind.   I'll show you why long, moderate cardio may be backfiring on your body and what to do instead. We'll dive into the Goldilocks zone of cardio, talk sprint intervals vs. HIIT, and how to use both strategically to boost metabolism, protect muscle, and balance cortisol (hello, belly fat fix).   You'll learn: Why too much cardio stalls fat loss and drains your energy How high-intensity interval training (done right!) supports hormone health The simple structure I use for strategic fat-burning workouts The best weekly cardio schedule for women over 40 How to pair cardio with strength training without overdoing it This is your no-fluff, hormone-smart guide to using exercise for fat loss in midlife—without burning out your body or your adrenals.   📌 Don't forget to subscribe and share with a friend who's still trying to outrun her muffin top with miles of cardio.
