Strength After 40
A woman's starter guide to lifting weights.
Why strength training matters more now than it ever did, the six moves that cover everything, how heavy and how often, and a four-week plan to start without hurting yourself or feeling daft.
- What lifting actually does for you after 40 (metabolism, bones, shape, menopause)
- The six moves: squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, core
- How heavy, how many, how often — the only numbers you need
- Your first four weeks: two sessions, written out
- "I'll get bulky" and the other worries, answered honestly
- This week: seven days, seven ticks
For women over 40 who've never lifted, or haven't for years, and want to do it properly.
