Runners inspire as models of endurance, grit, discipline, determination and perseverance But what if I told you that endurance running may not be as healthy as we have been led to believe? In fact, if you are over 40, want to lose belly fat and improve body composition, it may actually HURT your goals. In this episode, I share a few facts, found in scientific studies and clinical observations, to argue that walking is a superior form of cardio compared to running, especially for people in their 40s dealing with stress and stubborn belly fat. And stay tuned to the end to hear about the right way to run for long-term health and better physique. Now if you are a runner, this is not a jab at you friend. But if you are a runner who has visceral fat, you need to know this and how a switch in your routine could be the key to seeing your belly gone.   When you are ready, here are the ways I can help you: 🎗️Grab a coaching session calendly.com/jihanefarrell/belly-busting-session 📏 Get your data: Get 10% off your body composition scale using https://renpho.com/discount/DRJIHANE?ref=lxnrxtkq 🤝 Curious to see if the 12-week program is for you?
