Ep 16 - Nine Reasons Strength Training Will Change Your Life, Especially After 40


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into 9 life-changing benefits of strength training, especially for those over 40. We’ll talk about how strength training helps with weight management, muscle preservation, bone health, blood sugar regulation, and even mental health and confidence.

 

I'll also discuss how strength training is especially helpful for women navigating the hormonal changes of midlife and beyond. This can leave them feeling sluggish, frustrated, and overwhelmed by stubborn weight gain, fatigue, and shifting body composition. But the good news is that strength training is one of the most powerful tools we have to counteract those changes.

 

Strength training isn't just about building muscle—it’s about improving your metabolism, balancing your hormones, and feeling stronger and more energized at every stage of life.

 

It’s time to stop fearing the weights and start embracing the incredible benefits strength training can bring to your life—both now and for years to come.

 

Topics Covered:

  • Why muscle loss accelerates after 40—and what to do about it
  • How strength training decreases fat storage that happens in midlife
  • How strength training helps balance key hormones like growth hormone, cortisol, and insulin
  • How to get started with strength training, in a way that feels simple, sustainable, and aligned with your goals
  •  

    Who This Episode Is For:

    • Anyone who wants to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized

    • Women over 40 navigating perimenopause and menopause symptoms

       

      If you’ve been feeling stuck, sluggish, or overwhelmed by the changes that come with midlife, know that strength training can be a game-changer for your health and well-being. It’s not about perfection or lifting the heaviest weights—it’s about becoming a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. The benefits go beyond physical strength—they extend to your mental health, energy, and confidence. So, let’s stop waiting and start building a healthier, stronger future today!
