After menopause, strength training isn't just about how you look. It's about how you age. 💪

As estrogen declines, preserving muscle and bone health becomes increasingly important.

That's why I focus on progressive overload: gradually increasing the challenge to my muscles as I get stronger.

✅ Build and maintain muscle
✅ Support bone health
✅ Improve strength and physical function
✅ Support metabolic health

You don't have to lift heavy on day one.

Start where you are, focus on proper form, and gradually progress.

The goal isn't perfection. It's getting stronger over time.

Are you strength training after menopause?



Thanks to Amanda Wheeler for the videos and all the hard work working with me!
