Ep 81 Why Cardio Isn't Enough and How to Build a Powerful, Life Proof Menopause Body

Do you feel like your body is becoming softer and your strength is fading even when you’re doing the same things you’ve always done? In this episode we’re reframing the reason to exercise. There is still a hangover from the 1990s/2000s that cardio is queen and the only reason to exercise is to lose weight, but we’re moving away from this. The trend is now (gratefully) growing towards focus on how we move and what we do building an unwavering foundation to make us more ‘age proof’.We explore the biology of why your old gym routine or endless cardio might be leaving you exhausted and why focus should be placed on gaining power & strength now, throughout perimenopause and beyond. What we cover:The real reason you feel weaker physically and why it has nothing to do with age and everything to do with hormones.The Cardio Trap: Why long, gruelling runs might be spiking your cortisol and keeping the "menopause middle" in place.3 Practical Power Tools: How to build a body that feels capable and resilient without spending hours in the gym.It’s time to change the narrative: don’t exercise to get smaller or eat what you like, train to become more capable of carrying the life you want to lead.👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇✨ Sign up for my newsletter 💖and I’ll share my favourite simple tips to support you wherever you are in your perimenopause and motherhood journey.Every fortnight I share inspiration, ideas and easy ways to become a happier, healthier version of yourself - not perfect, but in love with all your imperfections.Let's team up to support each other because when Mums Support Mums, we can be the best version of ourselves and that is great for everyone 💕💕⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/radiatefitness-and-happy-thriving-mums-newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋Say hi 👋Linkedin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.linkedin.com/in/amandareidyradiatefitness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/radiatefitnessuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556581364525 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.radiatefitness.co.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
