In this episode, we chat about how women in their 30s and beyond can start incorporating weight training into their fitness routines. I emphasize the importance of analyzing one's current life circumstances and goals to guide your training. I also highlight the significance of having a growth mindset and overcoming gymtimidation.
What I recommend to get started:
Having a plan, considering the gym layout, and starting with beginner-friendly exercises for the squat, hinge, upper body push, upper body pull, and core. We cover all this in detail and more on this episode!
