[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was doing a lot of running and HIIT workouts and this fall I decided I just wasn't feeling good. Too many aches and pains and starting to dread workouts.

So I switched to low impact strength/cardio routines, yoga, and walking. I haven't gained any weight, look forward to exercising, and feel better overall.

FWIW, I'm a 45 year old woman. Anyone else found the same? [/quote]

Yes. I do yoga and walking and some body weight exercises. I love to run, but running no longer loves me. My dad once said nobody over 50 should run anymore.  Maybe that should be 40. I don't fully agree with him, honestly, but high intensity exercise should be done super mindfully. It is so easy to get hurt as you get older. This isn't to say that HIIT and running is off limits to everybody. I'm sure folks will chime in and say how great it makes them feel, they haven't been injured, etc. Great! I think that's super! But I'm of the feeling that you have to work smarter to not injure yourself.[/quote]
