If you have experienced results from exercise that are nothing like you want, this episode intends to help explain why certain exercise intensities work for you right now and others that have previously may not. What I want to make clear is… you want intensity and effort level matters for success long term. But short term sometimes you have to pivot. Certain workouts that once gave results may suddenly stop working during midlife.  Let’s dive into the connection between cortisol, exercise intensity, recovery, hormones, blood sugar, and stress—and why walking, recovery, and smarter training may actually deliver better results than constantly pushing harder. This conversation is packed with empowering reminders that fitness after 50 should support your energy, metabolism, sleep, and quality of life—not drain them.  By the end of this episode, you’ll better understand how you can work with your body instead of against them, especially knowing the exercise intensities that work for you.
