Episode Description

If you want to get stronger, build muscle to look toned, and feel like yourself again, progressive strength training is the most effective method for women in perimenopause and menopause.


In this episode, I explain what progressive strength training is and how it’s different from the "strength training" workouts you may be doing.


You'll understand how it enables you to actually trigger muscle growth in midlife, when shifting hormones can make building strength harder than it used to be.


I also share three of the most common mistakes I see women make that keep them from getting the results they deserve from the time they’re already spending lifting weights.
