Love this. As an older woman working out, the goal of today's workout is to be able to do tomorrow's workout. So far so good.

I like that she wants exercise to feel fun. I hope it inspires women to workout to build some muscle. I’ve personally have had a handful of women say they didn’t want to workout, because they didn’t want to get “big, ” which i get but it’s so important for everyone to have some muscle especially as we get older.

As a personal trainer, this episode completely changed the way I consider training women of all ages, life stages and goals. The consideration of exercise diversity at lower set ranges, phasing with the menstrual cycle, menopause, body dysmophia, realistic target goals; keeping training fun and attainable in ways I had not considered. Very grateful to Holly and to Peter for keeping the drive diverse.🙏🏽

P.s I recognize that she is coming to this from a specific training background, so each of us fitness professionals should take everything she said with a grain of salt and apply our own approach, while considering some of her insights.

I hope the comment section doesn't rip her apart too bad.😬

I’m trying to drop 25 pounds and gain 5 pounds of muscle or more over time but it’s tough to do a caloric deficit and get enough protein

I only click on this because I want arms like that every other thumbnail shows girls too thin arms

I think more time at the gym gets better results higher weights

[wendywertz]

I do low reps higher weight works great at 55

What about 15-20 minutes for 7days a week and letting each muscle group rest for 2 days? This is my routine. Mon: CHEST/BACK; Tues: ABS/CALVES; Wed: TRAPS, SHOULDERS, BICEPS, TRICEPS; Thurs: HAMS, QUADS, GLUTES; Fri: CHEST/BACK; Sat: ABS/CALVES/BICEPS/TRICEPS; Sun: HAMS, QUADS, GLUTES, TRAPS, SHOULDERS.
