What workouts actually work in midlife—and which ones might be holding you back?

In this episode, we break down how to train smarter as your body and hormones shift through perimenopause and menopause. We cover cardio zones, the difference between HIIT and sprint interval training, why strength training is essential for bone density and longevity, VO2max, lactate threshold, and how to avoid getting stuck in that “gray zone” of workouts that don’t move the needle.

You’ll walk away understanding how to polarize your movement, improve endurance, support your metabolism, and feel stronger, more energized, and more at home in your body.

Lynette Talbot—mountain athlete performance coach, endurance athlete, and former physical therapist assistant—shares her simple, effective weekly framework to help you put this into practice without overwhelm.

If you’ve been wondering how to structure your workouts in midlife so they actually support your energy, hormones, and long-term health… this episode will bring clarity.
