#70: Why You'll Build More Muscle with a Structured Weight Training Program
Manage episode 422944257 series 3449217
If you've noticed the loss of muscle tone that so many women in their 40s, 50s or 60s wake up to, and you are working out regularly, then this episode is for you.
One of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry is that any workout with weights will 'tone you up' (ie. build muscle) but that's just not true.
I used to believe that too, and I was devastated when despite going to my beloved Pump and Bootcamp classes, and working my tail off, my muscle tone disappeared. 😭
There is a science to building muscle. 💪
When we're younger, our bodies respond better to less 'optimal' training, but as our estrogen levels decline in menopause, we need to train more effectively - and a structured weight training program will allow you to do just that.
In episode #70 of 40+ Fitness for Women, I discuss why you'll build more muscle with a structured weight training program.
Enjoy the show!
