#115: 7 Must-Haves for a Strength Training Program That Works (Without Wasting Time)


Listen Later

You want to lift weights, build muscle, and feel stronger… but how do you know if the program you’re following is actually helping you get there?

In this episode, I’m giving you a simple 7-point checklist to evaluate any weight training program - whether it’s something you found online or one from your gym.


You’ll learn:

  • Why more exercises and longer sessions don’t equal better results
  • The ideal number of exercises, sets, and sessions per week
  • What to look for (and what to avoid) in free fitness programs


This episode will help you train smarter and make sure you’re following a program that actually supports your goals in midlife.
