Please don't tune out when I say this, but a lot of you are doing too much. And it's actually costing you the body you want.
Today's episode is about recovery — specifically, why the "more is more" approach that most women have been following since their twenties is working directly against them, especially as their hormones start to shift. The truth is that at some point, adding more workouts, more cardio, more steps, and more intensity stops producing additional results and starts taking them away. And learning to recognize that point — and pull back before you cross it — is one of the most important things you can do for your body composition right now.
This is the episode that sounds counterintuitive and might just be exactly what you need to hear.
