Description

Are you working out hard but still not seeing the muscle growth you expected?

In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I’m breaking down the top five reasons why your muscles might not be growing, even if you're putting in the effort.
 
Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond, these common pitfalls can stand in the way of your muscle-building goals.

In this episode, I cover:

  1. Mixing cardio with weight training
  2. Switching programs too often
  3. Not eating enough protein
  4. Skimping on sleep
  5. Lacking patience with the process

If you’ve been frustrated with your progress, this episode is packed with actionable tips that will help you get back on track and start seeing the muscle gains you deserve.
