    I'm 56 and have been weight training 3 days a week since April. Only walking or hiking for my cardio (will have to change my name). So glad I found your channel.

    I’m 44 and recently started getting into weights. My usual routine is weights then some cardio on my bike or rowing machine. Thinking about incorporating activities like walking around the park.

    I lift weights 2 times a week and do cardio on different days. Works out to be around 2 hours of strength and 1 hour of cardio each week. My cardio is usually elliptical, inclined treadmill walks, or stationary bike. Should I be concerned that I get essentially no NEAT?

      @@asmith9077 hey hon, so it really depends. What are your average steps per week? And are you saying you do one hour of cardio every day that you don’t strength train or just a total of one hour weekly?

      @@dianeflores_ifbb_pro On Mondays and Thursdays I do a one-hour full body strength workout. On Tues and Fri, I do 30 minutes of cardio. Since I don’t have a fitness tracker, I cannot say how many steps I get, but I know it is low. I work from home. Therefore my NEAT consists of walking around the house and doing light housework. I feel like I get enough intentional exercise, but not much movement outside of that.

    Im 41 and have been strength training since i was in my 20's. My diet and training have both been dialed in for a long time, but i can tell im moving into perimenapause. How does my nutrition need to change as i enter this next phase of life? Do i keep eating the way i have been for years or do i need to manipulate my carbs and fats more? The information on this is so confusing, and i dont want to lose the muscle I've worked so hard for over the years. Do you coach women in my situation?

      Hey babe! Yes I sure do. With entering this phase of your life our hormones are declining. So it's always in our best interest to keep protein high, get in some resistance training and other lifestyle factors as well such as = enough sleep, reducing lifestyle stressors, prioritizing micronutrients as well as a balance of carbs to fuel training and fats for brain and metabolic health. So, yes!! You want to put most of your carbs around your strength training :) Hope that helps!
