If you're a woman over 45, strength training isn't just a great idea – it's absolutely crucial for your health and well-being! In this episode, I share 9 fantastic strength exercises to help you build and maintain muscle mass, keeping you strong, energized, and free from those dreaded aches and pains. I guide you through each exercise, explain why I love them so much, and tell you the minimum weight load you should be aiming for to get the best results.

After decades in the fitness industry, I can assure you that these exercises are your ticket to living the life you desire. Imagine lifting that heavy box with ease, reaching high shelves without discomfort, and watching your body completely transform. From the goblet squat to the barbell deadlift, these exercises are designed to make you stronger, leaner, and more confident. It's not just about looking good – it's about having the strength to live life to the fullest!
