  • #92: The Roadmap to Lifting Heavy in Menopause
    Nov 12 2024

    Heavy lifting with shorter sets is recommended for women in perimenopause and menopause, but jumping straight into that type of training can be risky.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the roadmap to safely build up to lifting heavy - so you can get stronger while avoiding injury.

    I’ll walk you through:

    • How heavy lifting with shorter sets is recommended in midlife
    • The importance of mastering technique before increasing weight
    • The role of intensity and “working to failure” in building muscle
    • Practical tips on adjusting your rep ranges and weights as your body adapts

    If you’re ready to start lifting heavier but want to do it safely and sustainably, this episode offers a step-by-step guide to help you progress with confidence.

    Tune in to learn how to set yourself up for strength, resilience, and long-term success!

    🎧 Listen now and begin your journey to lifting heavy the right way.

  • #91: Back to Heavy Lifting with a Cranky Knee – My Story
    Nov 5 2024

    Getting back to weight training with a knee that was swollen, stiff, and too painful to bend isn’t easy, but it is possible!

    In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I share my experience working around significant knee limitations and slowly building back strength and range of motion - without risking further damage.

    Tune in as I discuss:

    • The step-by-step approach I used to train safely with an aging, worn-down knee
    • Exercises and modifications that kept my muscles strong while protecting my knee
    • How listening to your body and making careful adjustments can help you progress, even with setbacks


    If you’ve been wondering how to balance building strength with a sensitive joint or old injury, I hope my story can inspire you to keep moving forward safely and effectively!
