We're not 20 anymore.

Our bodies have been through LIFE, and that means that most of us have some area of our bodies that don't work quite so perfectly anymore.

😬 Maybe it's a cranky knee.

😬 Maybe you have arthritis in your joints.

😬 Or maybe you've got a recent injury.

Those do not need to stop you from lifting weights and keeping your body strong and fit.

In episode #72, I share what training with injuries and age-related wear-and-tear is like, and how you can modify your training to accommodate your limitations so you can keep lifting.

Enjoy the show!

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are becoming mainstream in the USA. The shots are being offered not only to those who need to lose weight for health reasons but also to normal-weight people who are looking for an easy way to get skinny. Women especially are hopping on board the weight loss bus.

But as with any drug, there are downsides too.

In this episode of the podcast, I share my thoughts on using weight loss drugs.

If you've noticed the loss of muscle tone that so many women in their 40s, 50s or 60s wake up to, and you are working out regularly, then this episode is for you.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry is that any workout with weights will 'tone you up' (ie. build muscle) but that's just not true.

I used to believe that too, and I was devastated when despite going to my beloved Pump and Bootcamp classes, and working my tail off, my muscle tone disappeared. 😭

There is a science to building muscle. 💪

When we're younger, our bodies respond better to less 'optimal' training, but as our estrogen levels decline in menopause, we need to train more effectively - and a structured weight training program will allow you to do just that.

In episode #70 of 40+ Fitness for Women, I discuss why you'll build more muscle with a structured weight training program.

Welcome to menopause.
