Let’s just say it: what used to work doesn’t anymore.
If you’ve been logging miles on the elliptical, sweating it out with daily high-intensity workouts, or pushing through long cardio sessions hoping to burn off that menopause belly, I see you. I’ve been there too. And the truth is—especially in midlife—more cardio is not better.
