Thank you! I am 51 this week and postmenopausal. First channel that still treated me like a vital person not elderly or some influencer trying to sell me nonsense. This video made me feel empowered and hopeful for this next phase of life.

Appreciate your knowledge so much ! I’m 57 and proud of it and I’m always looking for ways to improve my overall health. Sadly, so many of my friends my age are just giving into old age. And at least once a month or more they are at the Drs office, on many prescription pills and just in really poor shape. One friend though is listening to me. She quit sugar 6 weeks ago and has no more inflammation pain and is off her meds ! I wish Drs would prescribe a healthier lifestyle versus pills 😮

I really appreciate this. I'm 60 and have heard that despite the old ideas, lower weight with higher reps are actually just as effective at building muscle as high weight/low reps, which are really difficult for me! I have lipedema and my connective tissue is weak. I injure myself REALLY easily and have given up working out time after time for that reason. I am starting up again after an injury several months ago. I truly appreciate the inspiration and knowledge THANK YOU!

Hello from North Carolina, just stumbled on your video just before bed. I love your style of sharing vital information. I am in my 50s and always looking to reinvent myself to stay motivated, OMG! Loving you

Shoulder and knee issues get in the way. We need ways t o work around pain issues and autoimmune issues so we don't deteriorate.

I'm one who loves, loves working out, now figuring out how to reset workouts at 50. I'm guilty of not having recovery days, i do overtrain, in process of incorporating recovery days. Happy to find you, your tips are all very helpful. thank you. stay well, everyone. 😊

This was super duper helpful! I'm 56 and trying to figure out the proper "combo" of exercise and this was exactly the explanation I needed. LOVE your channel! Thank you!

[ADWorcestershire]

So glad YouTube sent your video my way! 😊 Your information was invaluable for me. It was perfect for me at this time in my life! Thank you.

[cindyrasmussen]

TY this was what I've believed but not seen/heard anyone verify. It just makes sense! Simple too

[kristilawrence]

Like other comments, I am wondering how often to do the HIIT training? Is it okay or even best to do it on the 2 days per week that you do strength training? Thank you!! I love your content!

[holasoyalicia]

Thank you!!! Have been a high-intensity athlete my whole life, finished menopause at fifty not understanding the benefits of hormones struggling with injuries, and stopped 🚫 HIIT for the weight room and walking. Feel so much better!!! So much truth❤

I had no aches, pains, or anything before menopause at 56, then it hit, still no pain but walked down one stair at 60, landed on the same stair rung, broke my hip and femur in half, no fun

[hanlibadenhorst]

cool. Thank you so much. This is very empowering. Thank you

[yvettebennett]

Great information. Especially the breathless in HIIT training. I hope this tip helps me. I have been trying to do the mathematical equation based on age, intensity, etc.. this makes way more sense.
Thank you so much!
What are your 3 go to exercises when you are crunched for time?
I am wondering if its 3 isolated exercise or a compound move like the squat, curl, overhead press?

[debbiel]

Thank you so much. The information you share is so helpful!

[shalinimehta]

Great video, but I've a question. If someone is able to do strength training only once a week but is doing HIIT and yoga and some stretching in between the days, is that also okay? Because I keep hearing to do strength training twice a week, but even though I am still 48, I am not able to do strength training twice a week. Could you elaborate on that please? Thanks.

[fisherwomyn]

I want to build my neck/ muscle area like yours. I’ve been weight training nearly 3 years regularly. Any tips?

[suzannemarieclinton]

Great video thank you! Im going to do this.
