Key Takeaways
- Oestradiol helps to develop stronger mitochondria and the better your mitochondria the more energy you will have
- As lean mass decreases it reduces metabolic rate and can lead to weight gain
- Fat in the abdominal area contains more cortisol receptors which leads to increased cortisol production and results in more fat storage
- Focus on heavy lifting with your compound exercises
- Increasing your muscle mass helps to improve insulin sensitivity
- Plyometric training helps to enhance bone density and increase your metabolism during rest
- Specific High-Intensity Training such as sprint interval training has been shown to increase lean muscle mass, reduces fat mass and belly fat and lowers cortisol and enhances BDNF
