I’ve listened to every podcast under the sun relating to the field of female midlife wellbeing and fitness. I’ve tried and tested most modes of training for my own body and worked with many women within the same age bracket. This is where I have landed and these are now my weekly non negotiables.
Summary:
🖤1/2 HIIT sessions pw
🖤2/3 strength sessions pw
🖤15 mins core workout bolted onto any of these sessions when time allows, twice a week which are Pilates influenced.
- 1 reformer class a week
Ideally I avoid combining hiit and strength training as one can affect optimal performance of the other.
Specifics 🤓:
🏃♀️HIIT (running, bike, ski, cross trainer or combination of any of the above)
Warm up then raise heat rate to a level where you could not hold a conversation and you’re going full pelt for 30 seconds followed by 2/3 mins of full recovery till heart rate and breathing return to base level. (walking/resting).
Repeat 4-5 times.
Duration:15-20 mins (plus 15 min core if time)
💪 Strength/resistance training:
3 strength sessions a week focusing on a specific area: legs and glutes, back, arms, shoulders
(plus 15 min core if time)
Strength sessions work on progressive overload either increasing reps with each round or decreasing reps and increasing load.
Recovery is also very much part of this weekly plan and I’ll cover that next!
Ask me any questions! ❤️
