Description

We know it sounds wild coming from two coaches who love movement and exercise… but contrary to what most people think, exercise is not your best fat loss strategy after 40 — and we’re breaking down why in this episode 💥

If you’ve been training hard but your body isn’t shifting, you’ll want to tune in. In this episode we’re diving into:

• Why your metabolism works differently in perimenopause
• The constrained energy model and how your body compensates for exercise
•  Why most of your daily energy burn comes from NEAT (non-exercise movement!)
•  The real benefits of training: muscle, brain health, longevity & more
•  Why your body must feel safe to release weight
•  And what actually works for sustainable fat loss after 40 (hint: it’s not more HIIT).

This episode will empower you to stop punishing your body — and start training smarter, not harder.

Let’s redefine what it means to be strong, lean and vibrant in your 40s and beyond.
