🚨 Still doing HIIT like you're in your 30s? Here’s why it could be making your hormones (and belly fat) WORSE in your 40s. 😱
In perimenopause, your hormones are shifting:
⬆️ Cortisol levels rise (stress hormone spikes!)
⬆️ Inflammation increases
⬇️ Recovery time decreases
Studies show that too much intense exercise = more stress on your body, leading to:
🔥 Elevated cortisol = belly fat storage
⚖️ Slower metabolism from thyroid slowdown
💤 Poor sleep & crazy cravings
And here’s the science: Your body now needs 48-72 hours to fully recover, not just 24. Without proper rest, you're stuck in a cycle of fatigue and hormonal imbalance. 😩
✅ The fix? Train smarter, not harder.
✨ Focus on quality, strength training, and active recovery.
😴 Sleep + stress management are key.
