Why Fitness Advice That Worked Before Backfires After 45

If workouts and strength training that used to work now leave you feeling more tired instead of stronger, there’s a reason. Many women over 45 experience this shift during menopause, even when they’re doing everything they’ve always been told to do.

In this episode of The Midlife Method, I explain why fitness advice that worked earlier in life often backfires after 45. The “eat less, exercise more” model assumes unlimited recovery, but menopause changes how your body adapts to stress, repairs muscle, and responds to training.

We talk about strength training after menopause, why under-eating makes recovery harder, and how lack of rest leads to less muscle, more fatigue, and stubborn belly fat in midlife. This is not a motivation issue. It’s outdated rules being applied to a different body.

This video is for women in menopause who want strength training that supports energy, recovery, and consistency without burnout. If you feel like you’re doing the right things but your body isn’t responding the same way anymore, this conversation will help you understand why and what to adjust.
