Why I Joined Orange Theory (even though it’s “Bad” if you’re over 40) (297)

Episode 297 Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description

A few months ago, my exercise routine stopped working for me. I’d been focusing on strength training for years, but I just didn’t want to go to the gym anymore. I felt super apathetic.

At first, I chalked it up to bad sleep and low energy. But then I realized that some sneaky Menopause 101 messaging was actually holding me back from doing what felt right for my body.

In this episode, I take you behind-the-scenes on how I noticed I was falling off track and the method that helped me return to movement again.

Tune in to hear about:

  • How to bridge the Knowing-But-Not-Doing gap
  • My experience with Orange Theory as a cardio-skeptic
  • How to find the triggers that get you off track
  • Polarity lessons I’ve learned from HIIT classes
  • The results I’ve noticed with my sleep, my energy, my mental health, and my weight since reintroducing cardio
