Everyone Is Wrong About Exercise - Especially For Women Over 40
I've spent 20+ years in the fitness industry, and after leaving bodybuilding, I had to completely rethink what exercise means to me.
In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the 5 pillars of exercise for longevity: strength training, Zone 2 cardio, sprint interval training, mobility, and balance. I'll walk you through what I personally do each week and why I believe women over 40 need to think beyond weight loss and calorie burn.
I'm also sharing why I approach HIIT differently for women in perimenopause and menopause, how I incorporate strength training, walking, Pilates, mobility, and sprint intervals into my routine, and why getting strong now can make a huge difference as we get older.
If you're a woman over 40 who wants to prioritize strength, fitness, longevity, and healthy aging, this one's for you.
And remember: consistency beats perfection every damn time. ❤️
