40+ Fitness for Women: Strength training in perimenopause & menopause

#105: Is Lifting Weights Not Your Thing? Too boring? Doesn't work for you? Let's chat...


Listen Later

This is a different kind of episode. I am sharing my frustrations about women who tell me that strength training is 'not their thing'.

Strength training should be everyone's thing. 

There is no substitute. 

Yes, there are other forms of exercise, but none that build muscle & strength and confer the health benefits that weight training does. Plus those muscles are essential for keeping us out of the nursing home. 

In this episode, I address the common statements I hear from midlife women who don't lift. 

  • "Weight training is not my thing"
  • "I tried it and it doesn't work for me"
  • "Weight training is boring"


If any of those statements sound familiar - this is the episode for you.
