![]() “Basically that means that moderate levels of exercise are interspersed with high intensity intervals throughout the week. “What you want to employ now is high-intensity interval training (HIIT),” Dr. Your routine should include aerobic exercises like swimming, walking, bicycling, and running, as well as resistance or strength training. Start with a mix of moderate and vigorous exercise to burn off menopausal weight gain. “It can be hard, but it is possible to do it.” Here, a dozen ways to successfully fight the battle of the bulge. “It’s a fact of life that both men and women gain weight as they age, but we can take action to combat it,” says Stephanie Faubion, MD, medical director of the North American Menopause Society director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Women’s Health in Jacksonville, Florida. A study published in the journal Menopause found that menopausal weight accumulation around the middle - even if you haven’t gained a single pound - puts you greater risk for cardiovascular disease. And belly fat isn’t just annoying - it’s also unhealthy. “I named the extra fat that collects around your middle the ‘menopot,’” says Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, author of Body for Life for Women.īefore, during, and after menopause, your estrogen levels begin to wane and your metabolism slows, making it more difficult for you to lose weight, particularly around your middle. Here’s what’s going on with your body if elastic waistbands are now your go-to fashion choice: Weight distribution changes as you hit menopause, with the added pounds accumulating right around your belly. ![]() RELATED: The Galveston Diet for Menopausal Women: How It Works, Benefits and Risks, Sample Diet, and Pricing Natural hormonal changes mean you may experience symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, but you shouldn't fatalistically accept that the number on the bathroom scale will skyrocket, too. They are definitely going to be phased out this year.Weight gain may feel like it’s inevitable once you’ve entered your fourth decade, but the truth is, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. For those of you who love Speeds, I recommend you stock up on them before the end of the year. I’m undecided on these shorts and will try them on again to see what I think of them. Maybe if the pattern was on a smaller scale I would like it more. I thought I would like the pattern (culture clash multi black) but it seemed too busy for me. (I tried taking a picture so you can see the back). Although the inseam is the same (2.5 inches) the Speed Up Short felt shorter because the back of the short is not longer like the Speeds. The legs felt a bit tighter to me but I think they will stretch out after wearing. ![]() The “v” connection at the side of the short is a little higher than the Speeds. The placement of the joining sides (front and back) made the short lay flatter in the back, i.e., it didn’t pucker as much along the back seam where the fabric is not joined together. The leg seam for the liner was thinner! Yay! No more VPL. I think the back zipper pocket is the same length. It has a bit more give in it than the Speeds. The waist band is thinner (not the rise but the construction) because it is lined with mesh. I was curious to see what was different about the Speed Up Short. It just depends on my mood and if I’m having a “fat” day. I have a love/hate relationship with the Speed Short because of the waist band and liner. The ed confirmed they will be phasing out the Speed Short by the end of the year and replacing it with the Speed Up Short. I love being able to share with you guys a good variety of fit reviews and since this is a new short style replacing the speed shorts, I think it’s especially great having a variety of perspectives.Īfter I saw the upload and saw the new Speed Up Short, I wanted to try them on. O for sharing her fit review of the Speed Up Short.
