Comment POD and I’ll send you the link to the full episode: Menopause Belly Fat, Part 1: Why More Cardio Isn’t Working

This is part 1 of a 3 part series on belly fat.

If your menopause belly won't budge no matter how much cardio you do, the exercise itself might be the problem. In Part 1 of this two-part series I share the three exercise mistakes feeding belly fat after 50, and the strength-first fix that actually works.

You cannot spot reduce. No crunch, plank, or ab gadget melts fat off one spot. What actually moves the needle is building muscle, because muscle is where your body parks and burns glucose.

You will learn why too much steady cardio, too much high intensity, and under-eating can all backfire in menopause, plus my simple menu of what works: strength training, core work, walking, and HIRT (high intensity repeat training) done the smart way.

Believe it or not, your body is not betraying you. It is protecting you. When you stop punishing it and start building it, it stops holding on so tight and the belly fat slowly decreases.

Part 2 goes under the hood into the hormones, cortisol and insulin, and why stress sends fat to your midsection. Subscribe so you do not miss it.

It’s funny that the hummingbirds were buzzing me while I was filming this, and I had to give up some more all-or-nothing mindset around a ‘perfect’ video. 😂

I want you to know modifying exercise is soooo smart because you build strength by doing the thing at the level your body is today.

I’ve been training others since 2010. Follow me on this page to see what fitness after 50 can look like for you.

There’s nothing better than an adventure with your girlfriends.

I’m not the go-to-the-spa, get-your-nails-done kind.

I noticed I feel most recharged when I’m outside, moving my body or connecting around a campfire.

I didn’t grow up camping or hiking. My first real backpacking trip was at age 54!

I’m gearing up for my next adventure in a few weeks: Woman Camp 2026 with my church.

What’s your favorite way to spend time with your friends?
