It got people moving and it was fun, but what it didn’t do was help build and strengthen muscle. In fact, overdoing cardio can backfire, breaking down muscle, raising your stress hormones, and aging you faster.   Considering the benefits of strength training, everyone should do it. Once you turn 30, you lose muscle mass every year. After menopause, that loss becomes even more pronounced. But it isn’t inevitable: consistent strength training can reverse this process and optimize muscle. I just turned 60, and my focus now is putting on as much muscle as I possibly can.   Excessive cardio is one of [five exercise mistakes]( I discuss in this week’s blog. You’ll also learn the [best exercises to burn fat]( for women over 50, and I’ll share my favorite [post-workout smoothie]( that’s a little different from my other smoothie recipes.
