Feeling exhausted instead of energized after cardio? Not seeing the fat loss results you used to? It’s time to rethink how cardio fits into your fitness plan. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how cardio affects hormones, metabolism, and fat loss—especially for women over 35. Because here’s the truth: more cardio isn’t the answer, but the right cardio is.

Join me as we break down the different types of cardio, how they impact your body, and how to structure your week for maximum fat loss and longevity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ The three types of cardio (LISS, moderate intensity, HIIT) and their benefits
✔ How cardio affects your hormones and metabolism post-35
✔ Why too much cardio can work against you
✔ How to structure your workouts for optimal fat loss, muscle retention, and overall health
✔ The ideal balance of strength training and cardio for women over 35
✔ Why your body craves a different approach to fitness as you age

Key Takeaways:
💡 Low-intensity steady-state (LISS) cardio helps with recovery and stress relief
💡 Moderate-intensity cardio builds aerobic capacity and supports heart health
💡 High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is best in small doses for power and metabolism
💡 Excessive cardio can increase cortisol, leading to muscle loss and fat retention
💡 Strength training is crucial for insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and longevity
💡 A balanced approach that includes different types of cardio and strength training leads to better results
