306. The BIG 6 Lies About LIFTING WEIGHTS as a Middle-Aged Woman


Listen Later

Weightlifting - it’s either your favorite way to workout, or you avoid it like the plague. But maybe your reasons for avoiding it are actually myths. There’s a lot of conflicting information - and frankly, flat out WRONG information - out there in the world of fitness and nutrition. And none more persistent than some of the false narrative around weightlifting - especially for women.

If you’ve been around here for any amount of time, you know I’m a huge proponent of weight training for women of all ages. But just in case you need a second opinion, I’ve invited Lesley McShane on the podcast today.

Lesley is a podcaster, writer, author, and ACSM certified personal trainer who is fully committed to encouraging middle-aged women to prioritize their fitness and nutrition NOW to feel better and live happier, longer. Her mission is to help women discover that everything they need to create an epic and healthy second half of life already lives inside them.

Tune in as Lesley and I sit down and discuss the obstacles many women have to weight training, specifically the BIG 6: the 6 big lies that we tell ourselves about weightlifting.

If you’ve been dragging your feet about lifting weights and just strength training in general, this one’s for you.
