How Should I Strength Train over 40?

Strength Training is a Game-Changer! Essential for women over 40 to combat muscle loss, slower metabolism, and reduced bone density. It’s not only about aesthetics!

Sweat and Soreness Are Misleading: Neither is an indicator of a good workout; focus on effective reps and structured progress instead.

Heavy vs. Light Weights: Both can be effective if you reach “effective reps”—the point where the last reps are challenging but doable.

Muscle Confusion Done Right: Occasional variation is great; too much change can lead to inflammation, fatigue, and central nervous system (CNS) overload.

The 5 major components in creating an effective strength routine:

• Consistency trumps perfection!
• How to use Progressive Overload.
• Aim for 5–10 sets per muscle group weekly
• Walking helps accelerate fat loss, filling in the gaps strength training alone can’t cover.
• Recovery days and recovery weeks boost results!
