#138: FAQs Beginners Ask About Strength Training After 40
Starting strength training can feel confusing with so much conflicting advice online. In this episode, I answer the questions women most often ask when they’re just beginning their lifting journey after 40.
You’ll learn:
- If women over 40 can build muscle without a calorie surplus
- Whether one set of dumbbells is enough to get started
- How often to switch exercises for real results
- What to prioritize if you only have an hour to exercise
Resources mentioned:
