Why Your Workouts Aren’t Working After 40 (And What to Do Instead)
If you’ve been working out but not seeing the results you used to, this episode is for you. Midlife fitness isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what actually works for your metabolism, hormones, and recovery.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the four keys to midlife fitness so you can stop overtraining, under-recovering, and feeling frustrated. You’ll learn:

Why strength training 2-3x per week is the best way to build muscle and boost metabolism
How daily movement (NEAT) keeps you burning more calories without overloading your body
Why rest days and recovery are just as important as your workouts
The difference between HIRT (High-Intensity Repeat Training) and HIIT—and why one works better for midlife women.

If you’ve been wondering "Why your workouts aren’t working anymore"or "what kind of exercise is best after 40", this episode will give you clear, doable strategies that actually support your body.
Your body isn’t broken—you just need a different approach.

We'll cover:

The Magic of Strength Training: Discover why strength training is your best friend for boosting metabolism and maintaining muscle mass in midlife.
Daily Movement is Your Secret Weapon: Learn about the power of NEAT (Nonexercise Activity Thermogenesis) and how simple daily movements can rev up your metabolism effectively.
The Importance of Rest & Recovery: Find out why rest days are crucial and how they actually help your muscles grow stronger. Plus, get the inside scoop on the right way to do high-intensity workouts with the HURT method.

Key Takeaways:

Strength training is crucial for maintaining muscle mass after 40.
Daily movement, or NEAT, significantly impacts metabolism.
Rest and recovery are essential for muscle growth and overall health.
High Intensity Repeat Training (H.I.R.T.) is a better alternative to traditional HIIT.
Insulin sensitivity can be improved through strength training.
Walking can help lower cortisol levels and improve overall health.
Progressive overload is key to building strength effectively.
Tracking daily steps can help maintain accountability in fitness.
Active recovery is important on rest days to prevent injury.
Training smarter, not harder, is the goal in midlife fitness.

You keep saying yes… even though you're exhausted. You don’t want to let anyone down. You tell yourself, “It’s fine. I can handle it.” But deep down, you know it’s costing you. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal story of what I call The Yes Trap, that exhausting pattern of putting everyone else first until you have nothing left. From people-pleasing to a wake-up call in a doctor’s office, I’ll walk you through what finally helped me stop living on empty… and start creating a life that supports me, too. If you're a midlife woman who feels tired, resentful, and disconnected, this is your invitation to take your energy back without guilt. What we cover in this episode: ✔️ The emotional cost of always being the strong one ✔️ How the Yes Trap leads to burnout and resentment ✔️ My hypothyroid diagnosis and what it taught me about ignoring my needs ✔️ The mindset shift that helped me stop apologizing for rest ✔️ How to set boundaries that feel kind but clear ✔️ Why you don’t need permission to care for yourself ✨ Let’s shift this together: Leave a comment and share one “yes” you’re letting go of this week.
