[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been a bit written lately about post-menopausal athletes. The book Next Level has been getting lots of press.  I've read it and I'm in several groups that discuss it.  Here are the takeabways;

1. Lift Heavy Stuff (LHS)
2. HIIT  or tabata training
[b]3. Plyometrics[/b]

Eat way more protein.  So much that I find it difficult to eat the recommended grams.

It is hard because all of a sudden everything you used to do doesn't work anymore.  I'm right there with you .  I'm now trying to incorporate more of this into my routine.[/quote]

DP: I'm 52 with similar situation and half-a$$ed versions of the 1 & 2 have helped me. -- Plyometrics worry me about joint injuries as I get older so I haven't tried those (I have a lot of remnants of cartilage tears and other injuries from athletics when I was younger). I haven't gone back to the gym yet post-covid.  But what seems to work for me is to add in weighted carries of 2 25 lb hand weights just randomly throughout the day (I work remote and so I set a timer to get up a and move every 30 min and a lot of the times I'll just pick up these 2 25lb hand weights and walk around my house for a few minutes and then set them back down).  When I formally do my exercise routine I have moved up to using 8- 15 lb weights rather than the 5-8 lbs I used to use.  I also add in short bouts of  my own half-a$$ed version of HIIT but it seems to be enough. So it can get intimidating to read all the advice on optimizing, but I have found making these small tweaks allows me to keep coasting on as I was without having to reduce calories  or workout longer.[/quote]
