You’ve been told to just “do Tabata burpees.”
Work harder. Sweat more. Push your anaerobic system.
So why are you still exhausted at trials? Why do your knees and Achilles feel unreliable? Why does your confidence drop when your body feels unpredictable?
In this episode, we talk about why high-intensity workouts don’t always transfer to agility performance — especially for women 40+.
We break down:
• Why “working hard” isn’t the same as training well
• What Tabata was actually designed for
• Why explosive work under fatigue can quietly increase injury risk
• How perimenopause changes the recovery equation
• What transferable conditioning actually looks like
If you’re doing everything “right” and still feel flat, fragile, or behind — this episode will help you understand why.
And more importantly, what to do instead.
