HIIT vs Sprint Workouts, Cardio Zones & What Movements Your Body Actually Needs in Midlife

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330027/fan_mail/new] What workouts actually work in midlife—and which ones might be holding you back? In this episode, we break down how to train smarter as your body and hormones shift through perimenopause and menopause. We cover cardio zones, the difference between HIIT and sprint interval training, why strength training is essential for bone density and longevity, VO2max, lactate threshold, and how to avoid getting stuck in that “gray zone” of workouts that don’t move the needle. You’ll walk away understanding how to polarize your movement, improve endurance, support your metabolism, and feel stronger, more energized, and more at home in your body. Lynette Talbot—mountain athlete performance coach, endurance athlete, and former physical therapist assistant—shares her simple, effective weekly framework to help you put this into practice without overwhelm. If you’ve been wondering how to structure your workouts in midlife so they actually support your energy, hormones, and long-term health… this episode will bring clarity. 👉 Learn more about Lynette and her work at billygoatswift.com [http://www.billygoatswift.com] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330027/support] _____________________________________________________________ 💃🏽You can find Janel Anderson online at Mountain Rebalance [http://www.mountainrebalance.com/] or on instagram at @mountain.rebalance.jane [http://www.instagram.com/mountain.rebalance.janel]l 🌀You can find The Empowered Midlife Club here [https://mountainrebalance.com/?p=1366] 🌀 Free Masterclass-  [https://mountainrebalance.com/?page_id=8600]Your Map to Midlife Health This podcast is for midlife women, in Perimenopause or Menopause, who want to understand their body and improve how they feel, function, and age.  Janel is a board certified nutrition consultant, a certified functional nutrition and lifestyle practitioner, a doctor of natural medicine, and a lover of the wild.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330027/fan_mail/new] Why in the world does it seem like all my friends and I, all of whom are active outdoor women,  are injuring our knees and how can we PREVENT knee injuries from happening in our 40s and 50s or REPAIR injured ones so we don't hurt it again??  In this episode, Janel sits down with physical therapist Kerry to unpack why midlife women are more injury-prone even when nothing has changed, and what’s really happening beneath the surface as hormones shift, muscle changes, fatigue accumulates, and training becomes less intentional.  This is a practical, empowering conversation about getting smarter—not backing off—so you can stay strong, resilient, and active for decades to come.
