    One of the biggest concerns women have about starting weight training is safety. Understandably, they don't want to get hurt when lifting heavy things.

    In this episode, I discuss the things that you should keep in mind when getting started with weights when you are in midlife - even if you have been an active exerciser:

    • Some exercises that I would avoid
    • How to get your body used to this new form of exercise
    • What to do about pre-existing injuries
    • Listening to your body - what's normal and not

    Weight training is one of the BEST things you can do for yourself to keep your body strong and functional as you age. 🤗
