Why Doing More Cardio Can Make Fat Loss Harder After 40
Many women are doing all the right things working out consistently, walking more, eating better
Yet fat loss feels harder than it used to.
As hormones change, your body becomes more sensitive to total stress. That stress comes from more than just life. It also comes from under eating, poor sleep, and constantly pushing workouts into higher intensity zones.
When intensity is too frequent and recovery is low, cortisol can stay elevated. Elevated cortisol can make your body more protective with fat, especially around the midsection.
This is why more cardio does not always equal better results.
For many women in this season, fat loss improves when cardio intensity is lowered, walking and steady movement increase, strength training stays consistent, & recovery becomes intentional.
Training smarter often looks like doing less that stresses your body and more that supports it.
Awareness is the first step.
Do you think most of your workouts live in a moderate to hard zone, or do you allow enough easy movement and recovery?
