"I'm too old for that." "It'll wreck my joints." "It's too late for me now." If you're in your 40s, 50s or beyond and you've ever thought this about lifting weights, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I share, as a coach and a physio, why strength training becomes more important as we age, not less, and how to get started safely.
- What happens to your muscle and bones from your 30s onwards (and why it matters)
- How perimenopause and menopause change the picture, and where lifting fits in
- The research showing heavy lifting can improve bone density in older women
- Busting the big myths: joints, bulking, and "it's too late"
- A simple, safe way to start, even if you've never touched a barbell
Walk away knowing that your strongest years can still be ahead of you, and exactly where to start. 💚
