Ready to stop white-knuckling your workouts and start building strength that actually fits your life? We sit down with trainer Megan Dahlman to rethink fitness for midlife women who want results without burnout. 

Instead of chasing another challenge or punishing routine, we focus on the moves and mindsets that last: 

• walking as a powerful baseline
• bodyweight strength for safe foundation
• and a practical path to lifting that supports hormones, joints, and long-term energy.

Megan shares how she went from training pro athletes to helping women 40, 50, and 60+ feel strong, pain-free, and confident. The shift is simple and profound: capability doesn’t always equal capacity. 

You might be able to do a 60-minute boot camp, but do you have the time, recovery, and stress bandwidth TODAY? 

When you match the plan to your real capacity, consistency skyrockets. That’s where the “dial” comes in—on hard days you choose a five to ten-minute walk or a short core set; on better days you dial up to a focused strength session. No more on/off cycle, just steady momentum.

You’ll learn why walking is seriously underrated and why strength training is the number one lever for longevity in perimenopause and menopause. 

If you’re craving a routine that survives low-motivation days and actually feels good to keep, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs sustainable strength, and leave a quick review—then tell us: what’s the first small step you’ll take today?
