Episode 346: Why Cardio Isn’t Giving You the Results You Want After 40 HOOK “If you’re doing more cardio than ever… but the scale still isn’t moving, this episode is for you.”
from XO Heather | The Get Unstuck Podcast · host XO Heather | Heather Newman
Have you been told that the answer to weight loss is simply doing more cardio? If you’re a woman over 40, that advice may actually be keeping you stuck. In today’s episode, Heather explains the biggest mindset shift she teaches every new nutrition client: why building muscle matters, why strength training changes your metabolism differently than cardio alone, and how to work with your changing body instead of against it. If you’re tired of feeling like you have to earn your food on the treadmill, this episode will completely change how you think about exercise. You’ll learn: Why cardio isn’t “bad”—but why it shouldn’t be your only strategy. What happens after a strength workout that makes it so powerful. Why muscle matters more after 40. How to stop chasing exhaustion and start chasing results. ------- women over 40, weight loss after menopause, strength training for women, cardio vs strength training, metabolism, muscle building, fat loss, healthy aging, nutrition coach, fitness over 50, Heather Newman, The Get Unstuck Podcast
