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

#116: Factors That Impact Your Strength Training Results (Part 1: Things you can & can't control)


Listen Later

When will I see results? And how can I get there faster?

These are questions everyone asks when starting strength training - and in this episode, we’re diving into the real answers. 

If you’ve been lifting weights and wondering whether it’s working (or why your progress isn’t matching someone else’s), this episode is for you.

In part 1 of this 2-part series, I'm looking at the real factors that influence your results. Some are completely out of your control (like your age and muscle fiber type). But others - like how you train - make a huge difference.


You’ll learn:

  1. The role genetics, age, and hormones play in your training outcomes
  2. What actually matters inside your workouts if you want to see change
  3. 5 key training-related habits that give you the best chance at visible, lasting results

Hit play to learn what you should (and shouldn’t) be focusing on.
