You’re showing up. You might even be working out more than ever. So why is your body getting softer instead of more toned? In this episode, I break down the top five exercise mistakes that are quietly blocking results for women in perimenopause and menopause — and explain exactly why more effort in the wrong direction makes things worse, not better. Each mistake is rooted in the physiology of midlife hormonal change that requires a completely different approach than what worked in your 30s. In this episode: • What supercompensation is - and why your training schedule is sabotaging results • Why progressive overload matters more in menopause, and how to implement it properly • The optimal rest between sets so you have better results • The hormonal reason a 5 AM is backfiring • The cardio mistakes decreasing your ability to get toned 🧠 Not Sure Where to Start?
