I think that most of the evidence for high intensity being counterproductive is related to long-distance, long-duration endurance exercise. Like people who regularly train for and run marathons or do triathlons. |

Exactly. I know a lot of people love endurance sports, but I wonder if it's really good for you. I suppose it depends on the individual. |

I guess the caveat would be that if someone has a solid fitness plan which includes eating right, but isn’t getting the results she wants and feels run-down a lot of the time, she could look at whether she is pushing too hard, for her. Maybe it doesn’t mean completely giving up long distance running or strength training and switching to walking, but doing a little less of the one and a little more of the other to find the right amount for her. Personally, I think that some strength training is really important as I get older, regardless of its effect on my weight or appearance. Also, sleep is so important! And can be harder to achieve at this time of life. |

I'm convinced that my body is the complete opposite of what works for everyone.
As I wrote higher up in this thread, I'm 46, and have gained 27 pounds in two short years. No end in sight. My waist is now bigger than my hips, so none of my clothes fit. Two summers ago I wore a size 8 shorts and was incredibly great shape. Now I'm a size 16, size 38DD bra, so much swelling that I have switched to elastic waist everything. Just so depressed from this. So for the past 10 days, I decided to try lower carb, lower intensity mostly walking workouts, some Ellen, a few CS. No weight workouts. Lots of rest and plenty of protein. I had a plant-based protein shake for breakfast, a small sandwich and salad for lunch, and a dinner with lots of veggies. (I had been ramping up my workout intensity and weights to try to lose some of this weight.) After 10 days, I've GAINED ANOTHER 6 pounds. My breasts are even more swollen and my elastic waist shorts are even tighter. Granted, my period is due this week (maybe, but you never quite know!), so there's that, but come on! I'm just befuddled. I just can't stop this freight train. I just wish I knew how long this period of perimenopause will continue, I just feel like if I knew how much longer or how much more damn weight I am going to gain, then I could deal with better. So depressed. I've literally tried everything and each time ends up with just worse peri symptoms and more weight gain. |
