🔄 More Sessions, Not Longer Ones
For women over 40 looking to boost their cardio without overdoing it, spreading your cardio sessions throughout the week is key. Instead of extending the length of each workout, opt for more frequent, shorter sessions. This strategy helps manage energy levels and prevents the fatigue that often follows lengthy cardio workouts. By distributing your cardio evenly across more days, you’ll likely enjoy more consistent energy and can savor life to the fullest!
📊 Set a Step Goal
I encourage all my amazing women to aim for 10,000-12,000 steps a day. This goal integrates a healthy amount of cardio into your daily routine without it feeling overwhelming. Walking is perfect for achieving this, especially if high-intensity cardio isn’t your favorite. It’s a low-impact exercise that significantly reduces the risk of injury compared to running. Remember, cardio doesn’t have to be intense—reserve that energy for strength training where you can truly maximize the benefits!
🚫 Never Do Cardio Before Strength Training
Avoid starting your workout with cardio if you plan to do strength training afterward. Doing cardio first can deplete your energy and glycogen stores, leaving you feeling too fatigued for effective strength training. This can impact your ability to lift heavier and perform more reps, ultimately hindering your muscle gain. When combining both, always prioritize strength training first to preserve your energy for when it matters most. This simple shift can significantly boost your results, helping you achieve the body composition you’ve been aiming for.
