Ep 6: How to Strength Train Right (Women 40+)

The Holly Perkins Health Podcast

Today we are discussing the most effective way to build muscle: Meet strength training — medicine for the body and the soul. In this episode, you’ll learn the three areas for strength training success: programming, intensity, and volume. I am 100% certain that you can build a strong, lean, healthy, and energized body… with the help of strength training!

First, I share why strength training became my way to challenge genetics. I detail common strength training mistakes and the importance of sticking to a dedicated plan. I share intensity considerations and how they relate to muscle hypertrophy. I also provide recommendations for your weekly volume of strength training workouts.

If you're a woman over 40 and feel overwhelmed about strength training, don't sweat it! (Pun absolutely intended.) This episode is for you.
