Have you tried
HIRT?
I spelled it right. It's not HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
It's HIRT (High Intensity Resistance Training.)
There's a big difference.
Once you're over 40, doing too much HIIT brings on overuse injuries, fatigue, reduced recovery, your body feeling "beat up", and a spike in cortisol (a hormone that increases fat STORAGE and reduces fat BURNING).
When you use a combination of science-based strength training and HIRT, you melt more fat insanely fast (much better than traditional
exercise), while giving yourself more wiggle room in your diet.
It's the direction you need to shift your training to once you're 40 or older so you get better results and avoid sagging skin, firm up muscle, etc.
You see, most people do something like this:
Monday: Workout
Tuesday: Off or HIIT
Wednesday: Workout
Thursday: Off or HIIT
Friday: Workout
Saturday: Off or HIIT
Sunday: Off
This is a GREAT schedule or template...
... for a 25-year old. :)
Our bodies adapt to exercise differently in our 40s and beyond compared to when we were "spring chickens"...
And like I said - too much HIIT can bring on a list of issues such as burn-out, slow recovery, a spike in cortisol, etc., etc.
Instead, use HIRT. This is better for your joints and you burn more calories than traditional exercise - 450% more!
And because it's a blend of resistance training and SMARTER HIIT, you can simplify your schedule into something like this:
Mon/Wed/Fri - HIRT or even Tue/Thu/Sat or perhaps Sun/Tue/Thu
This is great for those that want the benefits of exercise, but without having to invest much time (yet they are reaping the benefits such as no more brain fog, more energy, firming up muscle, etc.)
And it's like you're combining strength training and HIIT into one, short workout, but without destroying your body.
This is the training "shortcut" for those 40 and older
Have fun,
