Hey, young ladies, I'm 61 and postmenopausal. I lost 35 pounds through fasting and low carb eating. But I can't get up off the floor without a piece of furniture to help me up. I also have little strength in my arms. Please listen to Dr. Mindy's advice! I

My dad is 91, he still gets in his total gym and walks, he inspires me to get up and just do it!

I gained more fat doing HIIT had to lower my cortisol for months, doing low intensity cardio at 130 works best for me only 10 minutes stairs then lifting weights for 30 minutes 3 times a week.

I used to do HIIT in my 30’s. I’m now 48. I used to feel so strong when I did HIIT. I’ve been focusing on weight lifting and walking w my dog at sunrise. Time to add HIIT back in. Will aim for 2 days of HIIT and 4 days weights, I prefer to hit lower body and upper body in separate days. Day 7 now that is warming us outside are either a round of golf or a hike with my Husband. I’m on a 24 hour fast now and I LOVE my bursts of energy and I get SO much done in those windows. My Husband and I are preparing for our 72 hour spring cleaning fast in 2 weekends (will be in the middle of my 10 day window just after my period ends). I’m blessed that I have a spouse who is willing to go through longer fasts with me. This will be our first 72 hour as we’ve done up to 48hrs successfully

I'm 71 years old, and my "high intensity" is a bit pitiful by most people's standards. I have a little routine I do on a mini-trampoline - because that is one of the few forms of intense exercise that is kind to my joints. I do 5 one-minute higher intensity intervals, with a minute in between where I mostly bounce gently and do some arm isometrics. And I have a step and a couple of resistance bands, to do some strength training while I wait for my coffee water to boil and the coffee to brew. I figure the best form of exercise is the one you actually do, and the bouncing is mostly for my mental health because I always feel better after I do it. But I'd encourage anyone who is older and/or unfit not to worry about comparing yourself with anyone else. No need for burpees or push-ups if you can't do them! Just start where you are, and do what you can, a bit here and another bit there, because as you get older the most important thing is not so much weight loss (though that is always in the back of my mind) but to slow down muscle loss. I have quite bad arthritis, with one hip replacement last January and another one coming up in 2 months, and my knees are a bit dodgy two. And before the first hip replacement, I was almost unable to walk, I needed hiking poles to walk around the shopping centre and even that was a stretch for me. Losing your mobility is the scariest thing, and I am super grateful that the hip op has allowed me to walk (fairly) comfortably again. Menopause is the time to start being mindful of getting too sedentary - but it is never too late to do something. Use small drink bottles as weights, do some sit-to-stands, do some stair-walking. Keep it simple - but do it!
@tammiehammett5054
I'm almost 52 and still having regular periods. Haven't noticed any menopausal changes yet. After a lifetime of eating under a thousand calories I have doubled or sometimes tripled my calories with focus on lots of fat and protein and finally this 20-30 lb extra weight I have been carrying my entire life is starting to budge. 15 lbs down in about 4 mo.
@LauraDeVasconcelos
Just watched Dr Berg's video he posted two hours ago and he mentions you and your book yay 🥰
@tryingtogetitright6038
Adrian Bryant is definitely my go to! I toned up so well within just two weeks doing the chair burpees aka look betters and his jumping Jack workouts. On the days I’m on my cycle I walk with Get Fit with Rick. Thank God for YouTube. No gym membership needed.
@Evie170
I do 30 minutes of aerobics/exercise after breakfast and 30 minutes of aerobics/exercise after dinner...I also eat low calorie, low carb meals. Berries/fruit and yogurt/protein drink for breakfast, salad wrap for lunch, afternoon snacks: celery, carrot, cheese. Dinner: fish and veggies. It's hard to fit in exercise when I'm studying though...Trying to catch up now that I'm on semester break holidays...
@Bcooper33144
Yes! The muscle does break down extremely fast in menopause. I found this, too, for me. Adding in weightlifting has been a game changer for me with body composition and lessening chances of injury. I try to push myself to lift heavy (for me) but really paying attention to form and modifying to stay safe. I tell myself “I can do hard things!” It’s fun and builds so much confidence as I age. I plan on lifting for the rest of my life. ❤
@tmckay2234
I’m not quite sure what to do! 63 years old, post menopausal, obviously, and just healed from complete adrenal exhaustion. When I exercise too hard I gain weight, when I don’t exercise I gain weight, when I eat too much protein, I gain weight. I’m worried to fast too long because that causes stress on the body. My body does not go into ketosis when I fast. I’ve had extreme stress over the last two decades, and now, a fatty liver. Having always been fit and in impeccable shape being a retired professional dancer I’m used to being slim trim and fit! Now I’m 50 pounds overweight. I keep trying things but have not found that perfect formula yet. I’m forging ahead but feeling like I’m running out of options. I followed Fast Like a Girl to the letter to no avail. Dr. Mindy, please write a book about the adrenal/cortisol reset and how to slim down after menopausal adrenal exhaustion. I think there’s many of us that would be so grateful! Love your work!
@YazYaz75100
Dr. Berg sent me! So happy i learned about you!
@aimeeclark228
Hi Mindy, you are correct!! I am a personal trainer over. 15 years, I am 52… my clients median age is 60… women especially find it challenging to keep the weight off, and more importantly stay toned.. lifting weights is key! And also choosing a cardio that you enjoy, ie tennis running, hiking .. love this video!.. thank you👍🙏❤️🤗
@rochelledavies8
I'm 39 and hitting 40 Feb and got a gym membership and done gym once this week and done some fast walking and just starting and I got to lose weight and be healthy. I'm watching this now sounds amazing and I be back in Feb when I'm 40 in 4 months and I let ya all know how I'm getting on and working on my cholesterol. I can and will do this. Thank you Dr Pelz 😊
@janicekroeger1771
I am super proud to say I've lost at least 8 inches of my waist and three off my rib cage and at least 10 lbs from doing Pilates, at least 6 classes (in 2 back to back sets) per week. That is 2 plus years of post covid recovery. What is striking is that I look and fit into clothes that I could wear when I was at 150. Some of Dr Mindy's recommended ideas have helped. I am not great at fasting but I can do the Edamame and other food ideas. Get rid of the junk, eat closest to source, sleep long,. I did 3 sets of arms after listening and on set of bridges.
@JillWinsEverytime
HIIT is a game changer that and fasting with Ketovore/Carnivore always love your video's - Im on a mission to be in the best shape of my life New Year New Me starts before 2025 ...
@martemacdougall1985
Also watched Dr. Sten Ekberg video today and he promoted your book "Fast Like a Girl". We are all benefitting from your knowledge Dr.Mindy! Now exercise is my next daily routine (walking and yoga only so far) need to include HIIT training. ❤ At 74 years old, I allow myself the luxury of "easing into it". I have pretty much reached my weight loss goals ( 3 pounds from goal weight of 110 pounds) but need to improve my muscle tone and overall strength. Thank you ✨️ My health took a dive a few years ago and I lost a lot of muscle tone. Metabolism very low then too. 99% improved with your advice. ❤
@Phoenixrises71
I thought putting your body under stress causes your body to raise cortisol which then holds belly fat? I'm a bit confused on the HIIT training.
@cloudblueskies
Pilates and weights is it for me I have found to work best in menopause. Never been so toned as I am now at age 53 😂. I simply use different sets of dumbbells and there are many fantastic sessions on Utube 😊
