Why You're Exercising Harder And Getting Fatter
<p>Most women in perimenopause are working harder in the gymand getting worse results. In this episode, I break down why exercise alone is not the fat-loss lever you think it is - and what actually has to change if you want a leaner, stronger, more energized body in midlife. If you have ever felt frustrated that you train constantly, eat “pretty well,” and still don’t love what you see in the mirror, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar. I explain why cardio belongs in your routine for heart health, why strength training matters for building shape, and why neither one can outmuscle poor sleep, high stress, and a nutrition strategy that quietly adds up over time. This episode is for any woman who is tired of spinning her wheels, doing more and more, and seeing less and less. If you want a clearer roadmap for where fat loss actually comes from in midlife, and what to focus on instead of brute-force workouts, this conversation will help you reset fast.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Learn about our customized coaching program: </strong></p><p><a href="https://ffwehealthcoaching.com/4f-2246?utm_content=podcast"><u>https://ffwehealthcoaching.com/4f-2246?utm_content=podcast</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>FREEBIES available on my website: https://www.functionallyfitwithelise.com/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stay connected with me on Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=en"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=en</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stay connected with me on via email: </strong><a href="https://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletter"><strong>https://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletter</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Join my free Facebook Group: </strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/"><strong>http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p></p>
