Description

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s fitness: the minimum effective dose of exercise. If you’re a woman in midlife who feels like you “don’t have enough time to make workouts worth it” or you’re constantly burning yourself out trying to do more… this conversation is going to shift everything.

I share exactly how much exercise you actually need to build strength, support fat loss, increase energy, improve mobility, and protect your bone density—without spending hours in the gym or living in an all-or-nothing cycle. As a midlife strength and weight loss coach, I see so many women assume they need long, intense workouts or daily cardio sessions to see results, and it’s simply not true.

Inside the episode, I walk you through:

  • What the minimum effective dose really is

  • Why midlife physiology makes “more is better” workouts counterproductive

  • The science-backed weekly routine that delivers results

  • How to overcome perfectionism and redefine what a “successful” workout looks like

  • A simple, plug-and-play 2–3 day strength training plan you can start this week

  • How walking, mobility work, and zone 2 cardio fit into the bigger picture

You’ll also hear a real client story about how she’s getting stronger, dropping inches, and feeling more energized—working out just two days a week.

If you’re ready to simplify your workouts, stay consistent, and finally get stronger in midlife without burning out, this episode is your new go-to.
