Listen "How Should I Strength Train over 40?"

Episode Synopsis

Strength Training is a Game-Changer! Essential for women over 40 to combat muscle loss, slower metabolism, and reduced bone density. It’s not only about aesthetics!
Sweat and Soreness Are Misleading: Neither is an indicator of a good workout; focus on effective reps and structured progress instead.
Heavy vs. Light Weights: Both can be effective if you reach “effective reps”—the point where the last reps are challenging but doable.
Muscle Confusion Done Right: Occasional variation is great; too much change can lead to inflammation, fatigue, and central nervous system (CNS) overload.
The 5 major components in creating an effective strength routine:

Consistency trumps perfection!
How to use Progressive Overload.
Aim for 5–10 sets per muscle group weekly
Walking helps accelerate fat loss, filling in the gaps strength training alone can’t cover.
Recovery days and recovery weeks boost results!
