#147: 3 Kinds of Progressive Overload and Practical Tips to Use Them


Listen Later

If you're a woman in midlife and you are looking to get your body back to start feeling strong, looking toned, and recognizing the woman in the mirror again, then you need to be doing progressive strength training.


Progressive strength training is a very systematic way of lifting weights where you apply progressive overload - one of the keys to building strength and muscle effectively. 


In this episode, I describe the 3 different ways that you can apply progressive overload and provide tips on how that looks in real life.


BTW - If you missed last week’s episode, listen to part 1 first, where I explain why this kind of systematic approach is the most effective way to get results from the time you're spending working out with weights.


Enjoy the show!
