I have to admit, I've had to dial it down the past couple of years. I've always done mostly Jessica, and her workouts were the right intensity in the past. I did her older you tube workouts, and they are hard for me now. And I used to do them with no problem! I'm currently doing Lift and Shift, and I can only manage two of the strength workouts per week. I've tried twice now to do the full schedule, and it just wears me out. I can't do it, and also do things like housework and yard work. Maybe if I had a cleaning service and a landscaper, lol.
I think Pahla has a lot of great information. I appreciate her thoughts on menopause and intensity. Her channel is a good one for older women who are intimidated by the harder workout channels. I think it's good she has that level, to encourage women that they can exercise.
