In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I share how I - a 52-year-old post-menopause woman - managed a significant body recomposition in 9 months. My approach included 2 phases:
- Weight training in maintenance
- Fat loss diet
I share what I did over those 9 months, and my results as reported by measuring my body composition using InBody scans which are a bioelectrical impedance analysis.
I managed to successfully lose fat while getting stronger. I share tips on how I did that (my 7 main focus areas) and also the not-so-pleasant surprise that happened during my diet.
