50: 3 Signs You're Ready to Level Up Your Workouts

The Badass Reset Club

In this episode, Heather Yancey reveals the three telltale signs that midlife women are ready to progress their strength training routines. Learn how to identify when your body is prepared for new challenges and how to implement progression safely for continued results.

Episode Highlights:

• Why finding the right progression timing is crucial for midlife women
• How to balance hormonal changes with strength progression
• Real-life success stories from women who recognized their readiness to level up

The 3 Key Signs You're Ready to Progress:

1. Your current workouts feel too comfortable - When exercises no longer challenge you and you complete all sets and reps with ease, it's time to increase difficulty.
2. Your recovery is on point - When you bounce back quickly from workouts without lingering soreness or fatigue, your body is ready for more.
3. Everyday activities feel easier - When real-world tasks that once challenged you now feel manageable, your fitness has improved and can handle progression.

Practical Tips for Safe Progression:

• Increase weight, resistance, or difficulty by 5-10% at a time
• Consider multiple progression options: more weight, additional reps/sets, more challenging variations, or decreased rest periods
• Focus on consistent, strategic progression rather than random increases
