You’ve probably heard the phrase, “exercise is medicine.”
And it’s true.
But just like medicine… The dose matters.
If you’re in your 50s,60s and dealing with shifting hormones, low energy, or stubborn weight gain, the wrong workouts can actually make you feel worse, not better.
Your body doesn’t just respond to what you do.
It responds to how you recover.
Here’s a simple way to think about it:
✅ Strength training (2–3x/week)
Supports estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone, helping you stay strong, lean, and energized.
✅ High-intensity workouts (1–2x/week max)
Great in small doses… but too much can spike cortisol and leave you exhausted.
✅ Gentle movement (daily if possible)
Walking, stretching, yoga, these lower stress hormones and support your metabolism.
The goal isn’t to do more.
It’s to do what your body needs.
When your workouts match your hormones, you don’t just look better… you feel better.
And that’s the real win. 💛
