228. Fitness Q&A: Strength Training, Cardio Timing, Body Recomp During Perimenopause & More

Today’s episode is another fun Q&A pulled straight from my Instagram community!

I received quite a few questions related to fitness and workouts, so I wanted to dive deeper into them here. 

From belly fat myths, to cardio timing and body recomposition in perimenopause, this one is ALL about cutting through the confusion, and focusing on what actually matters on your fitness journey. 

You should know by now I’m not here to give you gimmicks or BS - just real answers to questions you’re already asking (or secretly Googling - no judgement)!

If you’re in perimenopause and struggling, you’re NOT alone, and you’re not broken. Focus on things like strength training, protein, daily movement, sleep, and stress management. Consistency matters now (more than ever), and you absolutely CAN see success with body recomp in this season!

Episode recap:

• How core exercises + training actually impact your body
• Full-body workouts vs. body-part split workouts
• Key differences between hypertrophy & strength training
• Why both unilateral AND bilateral lifts belong in your workout program
