#88: Why I don't recommend BodyPump, F45 and Orangetheory for women in menopause
Are popular group fitness classes like BodyPump, F45, and Orangetheory really helping you build and maintain muscle as you age? 🤔
In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I’m diving into why these trendy workouts might not be the best choice for women in perimenopause and menopause who want to regain or maintain muscle. 💪
Tune in as I discuss:
- Why so many women (myself included) mistakenly believe these classes will 'take care of' our muscles
- The difference between training your muscles for endurance vs. strength
- How to adjust your fitness routine for more effective muscle-building results
- Why systematic strength training with progressive overload is key 🔑
- When and how these classes can still play a role in your fitness journey
If you’ve been putting in the effort but not seeing the results you want, this episode may provide some clues as to why.
Enjoy the show!
