I spent years doing cardio and avoiding weights because I just wanted to be skinny, and I didn’t understand the impact it would have. At 40, I did a lifestyle overhaul, and I finally started lifting 3-4 times per week. Now at 45, I have the strong, toned, and healthy body I'd been chasing for decades. I've maintained these results for 10 years with the same simple approach. Now I help women over 40 stop overcomplicating fitness and start building sustainable strength.MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: The content on Behind the Body is for informational and educational purposes only.
