Stronger, Not Smaller: Why Women Over 30 Need Muscle, Balance & Better Posture

If you're over 30 and still thinking strength training is about six-pack abs or slimming down your thighs, it’s time for a reset. In this episode, I’m breaking down why building muscle, improving posture, and training your balance is non-negotiable for women in midlife. We’re talking grip strength, shoulder mobility and how our tech-obsessed culture is wrecking our bodies and what to do about it.

I’m also sharing my own wake-up call at 51 after a car accident that showed me exactly why strength and balance training before you need it is your best insurance policy for aging well.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about being able to carry your groceries, chase your dog, and get off the damn floor without help. Let’s get into it.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The science behind muscle loss after 30
• The link between grip strength and longevity
• Core strength and fall prevention
• Real-life moves to improve balance and mobility

Grab your coffee, ditch the excuses, and let’s talk about moving like your life depends on it because it kinda does.
