In this episode of The Chalene Show, Chalene Johnson, shares her journey from loving high-intensity cardio to embracing strength training, especially for women over 40. She talks about moving past the unsustainable parts of her old workouts, including the tough lessons learned from injuries and not eating right. Chalene highlights how switching to strength training has been a game-changer for her body and health, and she now focuses on lifting weights five days a week, with walks as her go-to cardio. She stresses the importance of tailoring workouts to what your body needs, especially during menopause.

It's not just about Chalene's transformation; it's a wake-up call for women to mix more strength training into their routines for better muscle, bone, and metabolic health. If you're into fitness or thinking about shaking up your workout plan, this episode is for you.
