Lots of great fitness programs - including mine - encourage women to lift heavy weights.

But have you ever been stumped by what exactly constitutes “heavy weights”? And how much weight it too much or not enough?

Listener Lisa had the same question: “I’m wondering what you consider ‘heavy weights’. I’ve noticed you mention that you lift heavy weights 2 times a week. How much do you lift?”

In this shortie episode, we dive into:

  • Debunking the myth that lifting heavy weights will make you bulky.
  • Why muscle mass gets even more important as we age
  • The ideal combination of weight and reps to build strong muscles

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
