@50andfearlessfitness: EP. 1: Fit, 50 & Lifting Sh*t - Debinking the Myth: Cardio is the Solution. For years, society has told women in their 50s that our only options for weight management and optimum health were endless cardio, spin classes, or living on the elliptical. It’s so not true! Here’s the brutal truth: chronic cardio without resistance training actually leads to muscle loss. And when you lose muscle, your resting metabolic rate flatlines. You’re working harder, eating less, and wondering why nothing is changing. Muscle is metabolically active tissue. When I swapped mindless cardio for heavy lifting and a high-protein diet—hitting that 1-1.5 grams per pound sweet spot—my entire body composition changed. Cardio is for conditioning, but the barbell is for your metabolism. Hope you enjoyed this episode of of Fifty, 50 and Lifting Sh*t.
