Midlife Workouts: Why Less is More (Really!)

Less is more when it comes to workouts in midlife.

If you’re doing 2-a-days, living on HIIT classes, and still not seeing results, you’re not doing it wrong…You’re just working against your midlife body.

In perimenopause and menopause, your hormones shift and your body becomes way more sensitive to stress.

And intense workouts? They are stress.

Cortisol spikes. Fat hangs on (especially around your belly). Muscle breaks down.

You feel tired, inflamed, frustrated… and stuck.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here’s what actually works now:
✅ Strength train 3x a week (30 min is enough)
✅ Walk daily to lower cortisol and regulate hormones
✅ Keep HIIT to just 1–2x/week
✅ Prioritize sleep and recovery like your results depend on it (because they do)

Signs you might be overdoing it:

You're exhausted but can’t sleep

You’re gaining weight despite “being so good”

You feel anxious, wired, or irritable post-workout

This isn’t about doing less.

It’s about doing what actually works for your body now.
