Listen Later

Thinking about starting strength training but feeling intimidated? You’re not alone—and this episode will help you take the first step with confidence.

In this short and practical conversation, I'll share how women in midlife, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can begin strength training without overwhelm. You’ll learn:

  • Why building muscle in midlife is crucial

  • The mindset shift that makes starting less scary

  • Beginner-friendly strength training exercises you can do at home

  • How to use progressive overload to safely increase strength over time

  • The importance of form, consistency, and celebrating non-scale or gym victories

  • Resources and apps that make strength training simple and accessible

If you’ve avoided the weight room because you don’t feel strong enough, fit enough, or “young enough,” this episode will show you that the best time to start strength training is now. Whether you’re brand new or getting back into it after years away, these tips will help you build strength, protect your body, and feel more confident in your workouts and your life.
