7 | Why Strength Training is the Key to Feeling Good in Your Body After 40

from Weight Loss With a Side of Grace I Healthy Eating, Ditch All or Nothing Thinking, Strength Training · host Michelle Hill - Health and Fitness Coach for Moms 35+

Do you feel like you need more cardio to lose weight? Are you stuck doing light weights, high reps, and tons of exercise but still not feeling strong, toned, or confident in your body? Have you been working hard to lose weight, but your body still feels soft, weak, or not the way you want it to feel? In this episode, we’re talking about why strength training for women over 40 is so important for weight loss, muscle tone, confidence, metabolism, and feeling good in your body again. So many women believe they need to do more cardio, burn more calories, and avoid lifting heavy weights, but the truth is that strength training is one of the most important forms of exercise for women in midlife. I’m sharing my own story of training for triathlons, doing hours of cardio, and still not feeling strong or toned in my body, and how that changed when I started strength training and lifting weights. We’ll talk about why cardio alone is not enough, how building muscle helps women feel stronger and more confident, and why exercise after 40 needs to include resistance training if you want to support your body in this season of life. If you are a busy mom who wants to lose weight, tone up, build muscle, boost confidence, support your metabolism, and feel strong in your body, this episode will help you understand why strength training for women matters so much more than you may think.
