Surprising Benefits of Walking in a Weighted Vest For Women Over 40
I tried walking with a weighted vest for 30 days, here is what happened
A deep dive into the science, my own experience and how to get started with weighted walking.
Attempts to lose weight after the age of 40 just hit differently. What you once did doesn’t work the same as it used to. We hold onto weight much easier and it seems my midsection can see increases in fat storage by so much as looking at a chocolate bar.
Even as a health coach, I feel these frustrations too. My health has been taking somewhat of a hit more recently as I am also navigating PCOS as well as mid-life and I have been struggling a little, I won’t lie.
So I’m getting more focused on the tools that will add more benefit to my health without a tonne of extra time to my already busy schedule.
Let’s work smarter, not harder baby!
As midlife women, we need to be dialling down some of the intensity and not always continually trying to hike it up.
I don’t know about you but I am tired and I feel myself being in a season of more self-care and also honouring how tired my body can feel on some days, especially when I am experiencing such dramatic hormonal fluctuations…
