I have listened to this discussion a few times on different podcasts and 2-3 months ago thought I would try…30 -35 mins heavy ish weights followed by 4 times 30 sec full on run with gradient( sometimes skipping) then 2 min walk in between.I start with 2-3 farmers carries of 50 secs each. Do this 2-3 times a week. Total session about 45 mins with 10 mins walk to and from gym on top. Was thinking can’t see much happening…then about a month ago..noticed clothes getting very loose..( not really changed food which is low carb) muscles becoming more defined belly getting flatter....and am like…ok..it’s happening..am 67 so pretty happy I can say. 😀😀 Have been doing a variation of HIIt for many years I might also add…stopped working for me in this way years ago.

We bought an assault bike and this gets you there in seconds like nothing else. It has been great to see how our times and effort have changed over the last few weeks. Brutal.

Belly fat storage is literally my biggest struggle. If this actually works, I owe you my life. 😅

This is the best 11minutes! I’ve heard Dr Sims say this many times and this has got to be the clearest shortest explanation of each 🎉

Brilliant info! Only Dr. Sims can explain this so lucidly. So glad I found you. I recommend women to watch and listen to her. She can literally change your life. Thank you, Doctor!

HR monitors are helpful though because it’s easy to overestimate how hard we are working when it’s new.

Thank you for this information. You explained it really well. It might explain why my belly has returned since I slacked off on my bike sprints this summer!

Again, the best advice out there 😊 I listen to everything Dr. Sims says and try to implement what she recommends !

I agree clearest way of explaining this. Very good and makes sense!

Thank you Stacy I finally understand what I need to do!!

I'm 54 and ran flat out for 30 seconds, rested for 3 minutes, then ran flat out again this morning!! Was sooo slowww when first started doing these a few months ago....but can feel myself getting faster and stronger now. THANK YOU Dr Stacy! You ROCK 😁

PS - I have an L5 disc bulge (found incidentally) - currently doing back extension training for lower back discomfort & mild leg symptoms. Can I get back doing dead lifts do you think? Some people say avoid them forever (don't load the spine) - others say build up slowly! What would you do?

This was a wonderful explanation i needed to hear. Thank you so much!

Excellent explanation!

Where can we see the rest of this interview, please? This was your clearest and best explanation of why postmenopausal women should all be doing our SIT training and the great benefits it brings.

I love her so much, I feel like she’s such a guru and trailblazer in the industry for us. It feels like she’s an archaeologist and uncovered a mummy no one could find. Like it just feels like magic when she speaks.❤ Hopefully one day I can get off my bum and get stronger and drop weight.

I am 59, strength train and hardly do cardio and I have zero body fat around my waistline, however, I eat clean 85% of the time and I stopped drinking alcohol 7 years ago.
