125: Q&A: Why HIIT Stops Working, Why It’s Harder to See Results After 30, Why You Need More Recovery & More

You’re training hard and pushing through, yet your energy is crashing and your body feels more resistant than ever. The problem isn’t effort, it’s that your body has outgrown the strategy you’re using. In this Broads Q&A episode, I answer the questions you keep asking. We get into why HIIT is keeping you tired, sore, and wired, why training like you’re 25 while living like you’re 45 stops working, and why rest isn’t lazy. It’s how your hormones stabilize. If you feel exhausted, inconsistent, or like your drive disappeared, this episode connects recovery, nervous system regulation, and real strength so you can stop forcing progress and start adapting to the body you’re actually living in. What's Discussed: (03:28) Why energy crashes are not a motivation problem but a recovery issue (07:04) Why your body stopped responding to chaotic workouts after 30 (08:35) HIIT, cortisol, inflammation, and why always training hard keeps you tired and wired (09:42) Strength training as a higher return signal without frying your nervous system (10:01) Motivation explained through dopamine, blood sugar, sleep, and safety signals (12:20) Training like you’re 25 while living a 35 to 45 year old life (13:46) Why rest supports hormone regulation and nervous system downshifting (14:15) What real self-care looks like in midlife and why it is not selfish Check out more from Broads:Website: https://www.broads.appInstagram: http://instagram.com/broads.podcast http://instagram.com/broads.app Check out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/taralaferrara Youtube: http://youtube.com/@TaraLaferraraTiktok: http://tiktok.com/@taralaferrara
