Excellent advice… I’m heading over to listen to the whole show .. I’m 61 & still lifting heavy weights 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Wondering if you could help? Now I don’t have alot to lose. Maybe a good 10-15 lbs. I get how you can get bulky eating a lot. But I feel I’m eating normal , but still after 3 months shouldn’t my clothes be a bit looser? Idk Is it possible I have to cut out all sugars now that I’m post menopause? I do allow myself a dessert each day of like average of 200 cals. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊

Very well explained.

[@Ra_vee9132]

Great information. It was good to be reminded that weight lifting is not a cardiovascular workout.

Depends what you do and how you do it!

[@spachick2000]

It seems like great information but the language used is a little more clinical/scientific than I can understand.

Speak English for the average person that works out at home pls

We got you! Women should lift heavy weights 2-3x/week: heavy is relative to your fitness level… the way to determine what “heavy” is for you, grab a weight to squat with. Keep going heavier until you can NOT do more than 3 reps- this is a 3 rep max baseline: that’s a good weight for this type of training. Repeat with other movements It should feel VERY heavy. It should not have cardio mixed in, like circuit training. Next, perform HIGH intensity interval training- for example: 20 seconds of EXTREME intensity exercise with 2 minutes rest (air bikes, rowers, sprinting, mountain climbers, squat jumps) repeat 5-6x Do these types of training ideally on separate days of the week.

How long should the warm up be for sprint training?

How rude to tell a prospective trainer, “I don’t want to look like you.” 😮
