297. Why I Joined Orange Theory (even though it’s “Bad” if you’re over 40)

A few months ago, my exercise routine stopped working for me. I’d been focusing on strength training for years, but I just didn’t want to go to the gym anymore. I felt super apathetic. At first, I chalked it up to bad sleep and low energy. But then I realized that some sneaky Menopause 101 messaging was actually holding me back from doing what felt right for my body. In this episode, I take you behind-the-scenes on how I noticed I was falling off track and the method that helped me return to movement again.
