Post-menopausal women may need to be cautious with HIIT due to hormonal changes but can still benefit if performed smartly and with adequate fueling.

“My take and my read of the literature and my experience. So, I do I do highintensity interval training. I do like a crossfit type of training three hours a week right now. Currently, I'm going to start doing four. And two of those hours, it's like the full hour is like, it's a pretty pretty intense. And then two of the other um days where it's an hour each, I'm doing like strength training the first half half, which isn't really getting my heart rate up that much except for when I'm lifting heavy. Um and then I do like a 20-minut hit at the end. And hey, I'm everything's going great for me. I'm not I'm not burning out.”

“I also don't really know where this idea that I think it refers to maybe more so like I don't permenopausal postmenopausal women should be careful with HIT but like so sure and there are certain you know hormonal changes that happen at that time but again if we look at what the studies are showing if you do it in a smart way that women can benefit just as much as men.”

“Obviously, you have to listen to your body. If you are on your cycle and you're feeling like all the time when I'm on my cycle and I'm starting to do a hit, like I tone it down. I tone it down.”

“I think where this whole thing originated from was were these studies where women were massively reducing their calories >> and they were doing caloric restriction and engaging in a lot of like highintensity exercise and that can like cause amenorhea. It can shift hormones, right, where you're not ovulating.”

“Right. I shouldn't do Hit all the time either. Men shouldn't do Hit all the time. They should listen to their bodies. They should listen, you know, program it strategically into their training cycle.”
