Brooke provides strategies and tips for working around these issues and optimizing workouts for fat loss during perimenopause.Keywordsgroup fitness classes, fat loss, perimenopause, personalization, training focus, nutrition, strategies, tipsTakeawaysGroup fitness classes are not personalized and may not consider the hormonal changes and stress that women experience during perimenopause.Misaligned training focus, with too much emphasis on cardio and not enough on strength training with progressive overload, can hinder fat loss.Ignoring nutrition can prevent desired fat loss results, especially during perimenopause when insulin resistance increases.To optimize fat loss during perimenopause, consider a more individualized approach, prioritize strength training with progressive overload, and focus on nutrient-dense whole foods.Sound Bites"Why your group fitness class could actually be keeping you from losing fat.""The first issue with group fitness classes is that they are designed for a broad audience and most of them lack any kind of individualization or guidance on overall training structure outside of what you're doing in class.""You cannot outwork a bad diet. And that becomes even more true after 40. During perimenopause, due to the reduction of estrogen in the body, you actually become more insulin resistant, meaning you don't handle carbs as efficiently as you once did."Chapters00:00Introduction: Why Your Group Fitness Class Could Be Keeping You from Losing Fat01:34Reason 1: Lack of Personalization in Group Fitness Classes09:34Reason 2: Misaligned Training Focus13:17Reason 3: Ignoring Nutrition17:08Conclusion: Strategies for Optimizing Workouts for Fat Loss During PerimenopauseCoach Brooke Davis Links:Website: elysianwomen.org LinkedIn: Brooke Davis - Owner - Davis FitnessFacebook: Brooke Davis, CPT Instagram: Brooke Davis (@brooke_elysian)Free Community: Women's Fitness Simplified: Lean down, tone up, build confidence!Strength 101 Guide: https://elysianwomen.myflodesk.com/i0q61klkdbLearn more about my Level Up Program: https://scheduler.zoom.us/brooke-davis-mjzn71/discovery-callTake Our Free Hormone Analysis: https://brookedavis.typeform.com/to/quKUjmTIBook a Discovery Call: https://scheduler.zoom.us/brooke-davis-mjzn71/discovery-call
