_________________________________________
This 30-minute full body strength & cardio workout is designed for perimenopause—building lean muscle while boosting fat loss with short, manageable SIT bursts instead of draining HIIT. You’ll train smart, protect your energy, and finish feeling worked—not wiped out.
I used a set of 5kg/10.5 lbs + 7kg/15.5 lbs + 10kg/22 lbs dumbbells but you may want to use something lighter or heavier depending on your fitness and strength level.
