I'm 41 and started lifting seriously this year. I've completely reshaped my body in the last 3 months. I'm super excited to continue this journey. Progressive overload your lives ladies!

Lifting heavy and HIIT stopped working for me in my late 30s, it was too much for my body. I started feeling like crap and was gaining weight and my physique was getting bulky, especially my upper body.

I’ve changed to yoga, walking, Pilates, body weight exercises and one 30-40min full body workout once a week with light to medium weights. I’ve slimmed down and my arms look better than they did with regular weight training and HIIT.

As a 40 year old athlete who's trained for over 25 years and studied kinesiology and sports medicine, this is the FIRST time I've seen a video so complete and packed with accurate and helpful information! Great advice here - everyone should share it with their friends.

Lifting weights are awesome. I started lifting when I was 17. I’m 55 now. Back in college I was one of the only girls in the weight room at my university’s rec center. I lift twice a week now, heavy weights and walk.
I used to lift more days a week but I find now I need more recovery days. So when I lift, I hit it hard.

40’s was good for me in resistance training. I had to stop and now getting back into it in my 60’s. OMG- it’s taking a long time. I do feel better and stronger though.

THIS is the health channel I’ve been looking for. Information and guidance from a qualified expert, not some DIY YouTube “influencer.”

I’ve watched tons of videos about weight loss and this is THE most informative and bang on I’ve seen! At last someone who really knows what she’s talking about! 👏🏼

[steph]

I'm 39. I just started back with healthy choices. I'm doing keto and going to gym. Thank you for all this helpful info!

[patriciatomei]

I'm 53 and perimenopause. It has completely made things so much harder. I've been gaining weight around the hips and belly. Very upsetting. I lift weights and do cardio. The wine must go. Up the protein and track calories more closely.

[elicli]

This video was incredibly informative and absolutely fantastic! Turning the BIG 40 has motivated me to prioritize my fitness and overall health, and your tips have given me the guidance I need. Your explanations were clear and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing such valuable information!

[christilatintity]

Thanks! I feel like I'm on track with the fundamentals you mention here, and it's good to hear. Really important message that gets lost for women. This is self care.

Seriousness important for seniors MUSCLES

[julieevans]

I just started with 3, 5, and 7 pound dumbells. I will add 9 pounds as I progress. I've a TRX, which I will also incorporate into workout. Your Sweet Candy supplement I must checkout. I've a long way to go. Your book changed everything for me. I won't be the lean muscle machine when I was 30. I am, however, betting that on my 59th birthday, I will be leaner, with much more muscle mass than I had in the last ten years. Thanks again for your book and all the knowledge you share here. I haven't felt this great in years.❤

[CodyCarnage]

So fuckin ecstatic I found your channel! I love your content! I’m 48 and trying to get back to how I was 5 years ago and having a thought time because of Menopause 😢

[chrisgrezinger]

Interesting ... thank you. I'm closer to 70 than 60, do the 5 Tibets every morning for 20 years, as well no eating between 6 pm and 9 am ... and some bycing and walking every day, don't like to eat dead animals exept chicken now + than, some goat cheese, 1 egg every day but since having no gallbladder any more for over 30 years have to be carful with fat - somehow my experience is not to pay so much attention to eating likecit were a religion. My grandma's diet was very simple, balanced but absolutly nothing spectacular and she turned 90 healthy ... after all thats said the past decades for me she's the best advice to follow

[englishgarden]

I love HIIT training because of the compound movements. However, I only do HIIT 2 or 3 days a week. And I weight train (full body) twice a week. I also incorporate yoga into my exercise program. Thanks for the valuable information.
