How To Build Muscle Strength


Listen Later

Muscle strength is vital for us to stay strong, functional and independent as we age. Unfortunately, our muscle mass starts to decrease in our 30's and that loss increases exponentially as we go through the perimenopause and menopausal transitions. Luckily there are ways we can build muscle strength and muscle mass even through the aging process!

In this episode, Jessica talks about four specific ways you can adjust your workout in order to specifically focus on muscle strength. She will address things such as the various types of muscle fibers we need to focus on, progressive overload and how to plan your workouts to focus on muscle strength.

Staying strong and focusing on building muscle is vital in all stages of life, and this episode will help you do that.
