I like that you give info for advanced too.usually here is a lot out there for beginners, so I am usually am confused what I should change, now I am confident I am on the right path. I agree with the mass of info and confusing things out here
@@Lailaslsr absolutely! All the info out there neglects that mid life women also have performance goals and deserve info to support that! Glad it was helpful
YES!! So much. I am 43 and I have a lot of performance goals. I went to my doctor recently and mentioned some perimenopause symptoms and his response was I should exercise less. I'm so completely done with the condescending attitude of "try to hit 8000 steps/day" and "even 15 minutes of exercise is great." I run, I hike, I work out 5 times/week at the gym, and that's hardly rare. In fact I don't know any women in their 40s who are striving for mediocrity. It stinks of misogyny, and "oh well, she's just some middle aged woman, she probably is intimidated by gyms". Give me a break. We need advice for female athletes in our 40s and 50s. 99% of advice for "women over 40" boils down to "just get started." It's extremely alienating.
Thank you for covering this one! We first go through the puberty transition on to the monthly roller coaster then all things hormones while pregnant> birth>postpartum 1+ times….and then eventually ALL of the crazy highs/lows of perimenopause….to a literal exorcism of all things hormones…as if it’s just nothing 😂 the menopause brain fog alone is scary let alone everything that comes with that part of this mess 😂 men have a dip in testosterone and everyone comes running with replacement testosterone. Women go through this wild ride and then it’s basically summed up as “such as life”. This thing literally affects EVERY single aspect of our lives 😅 I literally have NO idea of what kind of results that I’m going to get out of this body from one day to the next. The struggle is REAL 😅 I just take it one day at a time as it comes 🙌🏻
if you are excessively stressed, it is good to reduce that overall, but generally, exercise is a positive stressor if programmed in a recoverable and intelligent way! Walking is great, but i would push back on that because cardio is important for your health especially post menopause.
Brilliant, really hits all the symptoms of menopause. Giving myself the grace and " not my fault" I am finding it hard to exercise nowadays. Yes menopause loss of estrogen is a bummer. I am glad I now have the knowledge to navigate my way around the soreness slowness oompless. Thankyou.
Thank you for this great info. Really appreciate the metabolic science explainations behind why changes occur at menopause. Makes it so much easier to come up with an action plan to help mitigate them ❤
Thank you for your informative videos. I’m going through menopause now & my mom has osteoporosis so I’m wondering if you can do a video on osteoporosis prevention exercise training
@@Katepwe Heavy resistance training and plyometric training can be paired with HRT if it makes sense for someone to use it, and has been shown to reduce bone loss or impacts of menopause on bone turnover Kate!
I am 53 years old and working out 5 times a week,HIIT with weights and low intensity workouts,but I struggle with recovery I am really drained after that and feel so tired
I am 49 and until 6 months ago I was also doing a lot of HIIT with weights. I was EXHAUSTED all the time. I switched to weight lifting and walks 3 times a week and saved the HIIT for 1 or 2 times a week. It has made a difference in my exhaustion. Don't get me wrong, I am still tired 😂, but those old workouts were completely depleting me. I tried to do a HIIT with weights again last weekend, and discovered the same thing. It is just too fast, which doesn't allow me to watch my form, and it takes so much longer for me to recover afterwards.
This was great info! I'm in that transition phase (almost complete) and it came a little later for me. I'm also a triathlete, so it was a HUGE hit to my training this last season. What hybrid program would you suggest? I'm looking at shorter distances next year (Olympic, sprint), but have completed 4 70.3s. I joined F45 so I can work on strength but want to start running again as well.
We have a great hybrid program here: www.thelyssmethod.com -- we have running programs and lifting programs! We don't have tri programs but our coach dani could do 1:1 coaching for this goal for you!
Thank you for your content! Long time follower and Lyss Method Member. I love the programming and education you constantly offer. I'm an occupational therapist, and mentally I am spent when it comes to implementing healthy routines in my own life outside of work. The investment in the Lyss Method is definitely worth it and fits in every phase of my evolving goals and responsibilities in life. Thank you, again!
@@sheenalillis4861 this is so kinda thank you!!! We’re so happy to have you inside TLM and that is exactly what I / we want it to be for people. Trust me, this is why I have Noah program for me because I don’t want to mentally think about it after programming or working all day either 🤍🤍!
@@jessicacampbell1903 I have a lot of full week of training videos but if you mean for the Lyss method I would 1000% keep your eyes out for our holiday promo coming 👀👀
@doclyssfitness OK. I'm a hybrid athlete but focus on endurance for Spartan ultras, it's hard to balance training for endurance AND strength and have a full time job.
@@jessicacampbell1903 I have a ton of free resources here on youtube and my IG that can take you really far in your progress -- but unfortunately don't give away my training programs for free!
i would talk to your physical therapist or similar you worked with following your recovery on what you are cleared for! If not, you can still strength train and get similar benefits!
You are never ‘out’ of the menopause transition. Once menses ends you are post menopause for the rest of your life and symptoms can be present for years if not decades after. Menopause is a hormone deficiency and is why all these metabolic symptoms arise and HRT supplementation estrogen, progesterone and testosterone is beneficial to stop and/or reverse these symptoms along with sleep, bone and brain health. I don’t think any of these exercise recommendations will give much benefit if the hormones are missing. Great information for up to date scientific information on all things menopause can be found here: Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Heather Hirsch, Dr. Louise Newson, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, Dr. Kelly Casperson.
The 'transition' period here is the time between pre-menopausal regular menstrual cycles, and 'postmenopause', otherwise known as perimenopause, is a transient period that is only temporary. You are correct that you are 'postmenopausal' for the rest of your life, upon finishing this transition. This is denoted by your last true menstrual cycle and 'official' once 12 months out of that. Menopause is a single moment in time, but you do 'transition' from regular cycles to being 'postmenopause'. But thank you for clearing up how menopause works to me. Have you looked at the studies done on exercise training and menopause? We do have data that shows that cardiovascular training, resistance training, and/or plyometric training can help reduce some of the negative impacts associated with the decline in female sex hormones. While there are some amazing other experts out there, no doubt, I am an expert as well and have a PhD in exercise physiology and have completed a postdoc in menopause, metabolism, and exercise. So with all due respect, I am not speaking out of nowhere here on this guidance. You are welcome to take it or leave it, and you absolutely can pair exercise training with hormones. Regardless of age, all women benefit from this advice, so you should exercise as well. Good luck :)!

@@wlit7484 agree! Gotta stay in motion 🤘🏻
Very useful to think about how to best support my future self. Shared this one with my Mum!☺

@@stephaniephelps3770 it’s definitely a wild ride! If you’re struggling or are interested in HRT I would 100% have a conversation with your doctor! 🤍
Thank you for taking the time to break this down! Easy to understand and actionable steps for the win! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yay! That was the goal!! 🙏
Main take away …. Be open to adjusting as body goes through this new transition … ok to adjust from how I have always trained.
🙌🙌
Thank you for this! Especially the cortisol piece. Dr told me to "only" walk because my cortisol level is so high right now.
if you are excessively stressed, it is good to reduce that overall, but generally, exercise is a positive stressor if programmed in a recoverable and intelligent way! Walking is great, but i would push back on that because cardio is important for your health especially post menopause.

Thank you for your informative videos. I’m going through menopause now & my mom has osteoporosis so I’m wondering if you can do a video on osteoporosis prevention exercise training
The same things I am talking about here apply! Heavy resistance training to the hips and spine, and jumping training!
HRT will be beneficial
@@Katepwe Heavy resistance training and plyometric training can be paired with HRT if it makes sense for someone to use it, and has been shown to reduce bone loss or impacts of menopause on bone turnover Kate!
I am 53 years old and working out 5 times a week,HIIT with weights and low intensity workouts,but I struggle with recovery I am really drained after that and feel so tired
You may want to talk with your practitioner about HRT…..estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
