Cardio Queens Are Still Gaining Belly Fat — Here’s Why | Ep. 294
About this episode
Are you doing hours of cardio every week but still not seeing results — especially in your belly? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. In this fire-packed episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott exposes the truth behind the cardio-obsessed culture keeping women 40+ stuck, frustrated, and hormonally wrecked.
You’ll learn:
- Why cardio backfires as you age
- The real impact of elevated cortisol and muscle loss
- How your metabolism adapts (and slows) with too much cardio
- Why walking + strength training is the long-term fat-loss solution
- How to transition out of the “Cardio Trap” without fear or guilt
If you’ve been working hard but your body isn’t changing — this episode is your wake-up call. Ditch the endless treadmill sessions and start training smarter, not harder.
