Description
✨You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old! ✨In this episode, I go over the SOOOO common misconceptions that perpetuate the fitness industry and which are really hindering 40+ women from keeping our bodies strong and young as we age. I discuss 4 common myths (or maybe misinformation) that are still very much alive in the world of fitness and I suggest two mindset shifts that 40+ women need to make to maximize their fitness. You'll get answers to questions like: Is lifting weights really an effective workout?What kind of workouts with weights are effective for building strength and muscle?How to get that 'toned' look?Is swapping workouts frequently effective?In this episode, I refer to other episodes which can help you to understand the whole picture: episode #3: Tips for starting weight training in midlifeepisode #4: Muscles in midlife: a quick lesson in muscle biologyepisode #5: 5 Things you need to do to build muscle#weighttrainingtips #fitafter40 #fitforlife #strongafter50 #fitnessmyths #fitnessmindset #bestworkouts #liftingweights Support the showHow I can help you on your fitness journey: Join my Strong for Summer 6-week group program.
