Introduction:

• Coach Mike from After 40 Reboot with Coach LM delves into the question: How many days a week should people strength train?
• The pervasive idea in Muscle Magazines suggests a need for intense daily workouts, but is that truly necessary for beginners or those restarting their fitness journey?

Understanding Individual Needs:

• The answer lies in individual circumstances and goals.
• For those rekindling their fitness routine after a hiatus, the initial focus is on building the habit of exercise.
• Starting with mobility exercises and gradually incorporating movement helps establish consistency.

Maintenance and General Fitness:

• Individuals with moderate fitness levels aiming to maintain their physique can benefit from a couple of strength workouts per week.
• It's not about intense sessions but rather about consistency and variety in exercises.

Building Muscle and Combatting Age-Related Decline:

• Aging brings muscle loss, especially after 35, making strength training crucial.
• Those actively seeking muscle growth require a minimum of three targeted strength sessions per week.

Progressive Training Approach:

• Starting with bodyweight exercises and mastering fundamental movement patterns is key.
• Progression involves gradually adding weight and increasing reps, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

The After 40 Reboot Advantage:

• After 40 Reboot emphasizes functional movement patterns tailored for the over 40 age group.
• Prioritizing safety and progression, the program ensures individuals build strength at their own pace.

Conclusion:

• Strength training frequency varies based on individual goals and fitness levels.
• Whether starting anew or aiming for muscle growth, the key is consistency, progression, and prioritizing functional movement patterns over flashy exercises.
• After 40 Reboot provides a supportive environment for mastering strength training safely and effectively.
