You do not need perfect form to start strength training.
You do not need a fancy gym.
And you definitely do not need to look like you know what you’re doing.

What you need are the basics.

In this episode, we break down the five foundational movement patterns every woman over 40 should master to build muscle, protect her joints, support her metabolism, and move with confidence.

No complicated programming.
No intimidation.
No perfection required.

Just clear instruction, simple cues, and real guidance so you can finally stop second-guessing yourself and start building strength that actually lasts.

Because most women don’t quit strength training from laziness.
They quit from uncertainty.

Let’s fix that.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The 5 foundational movement patterns your body was built to do and why mastering them changes everything after 40
• How to practice strength training without overthinking every rep or trying to earn results through exhaustion
• Why consistency, not intensity, is the real secret to building muscle, confidence, and momentum in midlife

Action Step:

This week, focus on mastery, not intensity.

Pick one movement pattern per day.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes practicing slow, intentional reps.

Your goal is not to sweat.
Your goal is to learn your body.

Consistency beats perfection. Every time.
