Episode 175: Are your workouts too hard, too easy or just right‪?‬ The Diet Diaries

This episode is long overdue! Today I’m talking about the transformative changes I've made to my workout routine since last August, and the insights I've gained from adjusting how I exercise as I approach my mid-forties and navigate perimenopause.
At its core, this is  about understanding how our bodies adapt and respond to different types of movements and intensities, and making informed choices that enhance our well-being. I've shifted from long, leisurely walks to a more structured approach involving strength training and varied cardio, and I've noticed significant changes not just physically, but how I feel mentally and emotionally.

What you’ll hear in today’s episode:
The importance of evolving your exercise routine over time as your body adaptsWhy integrating strength training into regular fitness regimens to maintain muscle mass, metabolism, and overall health is something you HAVE to doThe role of higher intensity workouts and how to approach adding them in to your routineWhy working out needs to feel at least a little uncomfortable sometimesHow to know if you’re working hard enough 
I hope this epodes gets you thinking about what steps you can take to make your workouts more aligned with your health goals and how you want to feel in your body.
