#169: Can You Build Muscle After Menopause?

from Menopause Strength Training & Fitness | 40+ Fitness for Women · host Coach Lynn Sederlöf-Airisto

Can you actually build muscle after menopause? Or have you missed your window?This is one of the most common questions I get. And I think it comes from a myth a lot of women still believe: that strength training is for younger people, and maybe even dangerous once you're in midlife. After helping hundreds of women get started lifting, this is a myth I really want to talk about.In this episode I get into what the research really says about muscle and menopause, why so many women are doing the work and still seeing nothing change, and what your body actually needs from you now that it's not 20 anymore.If you've been wondering whether it's too late for you, listen to this one.Enjoy the show!Resources Mentioned:Learn to Lift Strength Training Membership Send me your thoughts 😃Support the showJoin my strength training membership > Learn to Lift with my 10-week program >Get my free guide: How to Start Strength Training After 40 >> Lose fat faster with my Midlife Fat Loss Formula >Subscribe to my weekly newsletter>>Let's connect!Instagram >Facebook >YouTube >My website >
