Let’s be honest —working out in your 40s isn’t what it used to be. Once upon a time, two-hour gym sessions and body-part splits made sense. But now? Your body’s like, “Nah, girl, we need a new plan.”
If you’ve been stuck in the “more is better” trap—grinding out hours of cardio, punishing yourself with workouts that leave you exhausted, or feeling guilty because you can’t commit to marathon gym sessions—this episode is for YOU.
Inside this episode:
✅ The BIGGEST workout mistake women over 40 make (and how to fix it)
✅ Why “no pain, no gain” is actually sabotaging your results
✅ How to train for LIFE (not just for aesthetics)
✅ The best way to keep up with kids, grandkids, and, let’s be honest, carrying your grocery bags in one trip.
✅ The sneaky workout shifts that help prevent injuries, build muscle, and keep you strong AF
If you want workouts that leave you feeling ENERGIZED, not EXHAUSTED—without spending your life in the gym—this is your game plan.
