Is Zone 2 Best for Fat Burning in Menopause?
The Flipping 50 Show
Everyone is talking about Zone 2 training. What is it? First, its important to understand that I show 5 training zones here. Other sources use 6 zones, still others 4, and others zone 7… so we’re already not talking about the same thing. “Zone 2” for fat burning is a bit of a myth Fact: Exercise at lower intensities burns a high percentage of fat. Exercise at high intensities burns a low percentage of fat. Though it’s possible to train in a way that allows your body to gradually continue to use fat at higher intensities, it’s a process and many are skipping ahead to higher...

What They Don’t Teach Trainers About Exercise Prescription
The Flipping 50 Show
The list of things they don’t teach trainers – whether in a four-year degree or a certification is long. Consider that there are such a broad wealth of foundational skills a trainer or fitness instructor needs to know and there’s generally a specific promise about the time and energy investment required to earn the degree or certification. We’ve already got limits on what can be taught. A four-year degree isn’t a trade school, it’s not a specialty or an intensive training. Many of us know, it’s an experience in learning how to learn and realizing there are many...

Higher Metabolism with Thermogenesis: What’s the Influence of Foods?
The Flipping 50 Show
We’d all love to have been born with a higher metabolism. If you haven’t the question is can you get a higher metabolism with thermogenesis? The term thermogenesis refers to heat generation in direct response to the food you eat. There are a lot of myths suggesting that 5 or 6 small meals a day are better for this. Let’s cut to the chase. In case you’re busy. No. Don’t confuse this with energy expenditure. The elevation of your temperature or this thermogenic effect is not a goal worth pursuing so that you burn more calories all day. ...

6 Strategies to Raise Your Energy: 5 Are NOT Exercise!
The Flipping 50 Show
If you want to raise your energy this is for you. Beyond the superficial ask for energy for exercise, or to get through the day without caffeine, this is about the deeper vibrational energy. You know when your vibrational energy is up because you walk into a room and people look. They seem to be drawn to you. You can usually sense it. Certain scents (as long as they’re not synthetic fragrances) elevate vibration. You probably tend to look up instead of down. Music, foods and breathing practices all influence vibrational energy. Of course, exercise will raise your...

Resistance Training for Women Over 40 Q and A | Menopause Fitness
The Flipping 50 Show
It’s resistance training for women over 40 Q and A time! An attendee at the What, When & Why to Exercise for Women 40+ asked this question and other trainers and you may also have this question. Q: Can you explain how 'progressive overload' builds strength/gains muscle (hypertrophy)?

Hypothetical individual has a pair of 10lb dumbbells, various resistance mini-bands, 1x 15lb kettlebell, and their bodyweight ;-) This...
