#37 Training Smarter in Perimenopause and Beyond

from Body by Design · host Lou Driver

You've hit perimenopause and training isn't the same as it used to be or maybe you're new to training but just aren't seeing the results.There's a fine line between changing training because you are a women or older and just training smarter. When people start talking about training different for this there's a perception that it means you can't train hard.When I first started I was training 5 days. 4-5 sets per movement. I'd leave the gym feeling flogged thinking that I was doing great because it felt hard. But really I wasn't training effectively. All I did was run myself into the ground. 3 years of this until I discovered another way. In my mid 40's with perimenopause well and truly underway and I built muscle lost body fat and felt fabulous... FINALLY.I did all this with doing less just being smarter about it.No matter your stage of life, gender or healing, to grow muscle you have to work hard!! No doubt about it.BUT hard doesn't mean working more. So if you are 40+ midlife women in perimenopause or menopause and actually want to make your training effective for RESULTS this is the podcast for you.
