#137: How to Start Strength Training Safely After 40


Listen Later

Want to start strength training but worried about getting hurt? 

In this episode, I share my tips for starting safely. These are drawn from guiding women through my programs plus lessons from my own experience starting in menopause.

 The goal: get strong, stay safe, and keep making progress you can feel.

You’ll learn:

  • Why I recommend starting with 2–3 sessions per week
  • The exercises I wouldn’t program for a beginner
  • How to master form before you lift heavier
  • How to handle modifications and injuries without losing momentum


Resources mentioned: 

  • Episode on grip strength: Episode #93
