If your menopause belly won't budge no matter how much cardio you do, the exercise itself might be the problem. In Part 1 of this two-part series I share the three exercise mistakes feeding belly fat after 50, and the strength-first fix that actually works.

You cannot spot reduce. No crunch, plank, or ab gadget melts fat off one spot. What actually moves the needle is building muscle, because muscle is where your body parks and burns glucose.

You will learn why too much steady cardio, too much high intensity, and under-eating can all backfire in menopause, plus my simple menu of what works: strength training, core work, walking, and HIRT (high intensity repeat training) done the smart way.

Believe it or not, your body is not betraying you. It is protecting you. When you stop punishing it and start building it, it stops holding on so tight and the belly fat slowly decreases.

Part 2 goes under the hood into the hormones, cortisol and insulin, and why stress sends fat to your midsection. Subscribe so you do not miss it.
