How to Balance Strength Training and Cardio in Midlife
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Midlife changes recovery, hormones, energy, sleep, and how exercise feels in the body. So how do you know whether running, cardio, and strength training are helping… or slowly draining you?
In this episode, I answer a thoughtful question from a cancer survivor trying to balance running, mental health, strength training, and recovery during perimenopause.
We talk about:
- strength training for women over 40
- running during perimenopause
- cardio vs weights in menopause
- cortisol and exercise
- recovery in midlife
- how to know if you’re overtraining
- mental health and movement
- exercise after cancer
If workouts suddenly feel different in midlife, this conversation will help you understand why.
