Cardio, Strength & Female Fitness: Cutting Through the Confusion - with Dr. Alyssa Olenick

Cardio, Strength & Female Fitness: Cutting Through the Confusion - with Dr. Alyssa Olenick

What if most of the "female-specific" training advice you're hearing is missing the bigger picture?


Dr. Alyssa Olenick breaks down the science of what actually works for women - from cardio programming to strength training protocols - and why the fear-based messaging around hormones, cortisol, and zone training is doing more harm than good.


You'll learn:

  • How to spot BS fitness advice (hint: absolutes and fear-mongering are red flags)

  • Why cardio isn't "destroying your hormones" - and what poor programming actually looks like

  • The truth about zone training: when it matters and when you can ignore it

  • How to balance HIIT, steady-state, and recovery across your week

  • Why the "cortisol from cardio" fear is overblown (and what actually raises cortisol)

  • What makes a good resistance training program (spoiler: it's not just 5x5 heavy lifting)

  • The menopause training narrative: why 8-12 reps still work

  • How to train with intention instead of just "going hard" every session

  • Why fitness status matters more than sex differences in training response
