This is controversial....

Just recently I came forward with something I have been wanting to talk about for a long time. I am hoping by sharing my experience and perspective as a personal trainer; I can help women who want to improve their body composition and manage perimenopausal symptoms.

I am talking about the suggestion or belief that high-intensity workouts, such as Burn Bootcamp and Orange Theory, are optimal for weight loss. In my opinion they are not.

Now before I get attacked here, I am talking to a specific population here:

• Women who have been training consistently for a year or more.
• Perimenopausal women
• Women with hormone imbalances.
• Women who want improved body composition (more muscle, less fat).

As an ex-employee at Burn Bootcamp, and a personal trainer who has worked with hundreds of women 40 plus; I have decided to speak on my stance of this common belief. This has been a long time coming, 3 years to be exact.

Key points in this episode:

• Too much cardio and HIIT training is stressful on the body. Inflammation, wonky hormones, poor recovery, injuries.
• Building muscle gets more challenging with time as your body adapts. At a certain point, you may want to consider working out in a gym, where you can easily increase weight loads; so you keep seeing steady results.
• Cardio doesn't equal fat loss. Cardio is WAY overused at these places, and it's stressful on the body and detrimental to muscle tone.
• You are leaving strength and muscle gains on the table. Which is negatively impacting body composition.
• Increased hunger and cravings from overtraining/too much cardio.
• "Never doing the same workout twice" is bullshit marketing; and not necessarily a good thing.
