About this listen

Starting strength training can feel confusing with so much conflicting advice online. In this episode, I answer the questions women most often ask when they’re just beginning their lifting journey after 40.


You’ll learn:

  • If women over 40 can build muscle without a calorie surplus
  • Whether one set of dumbbells is enough to get started
  • How often to switch exercises for real results
  • What to prioritize if you only have an hour to exercise
