#72: Lifting with Injuries & Age-Related Issues

40+ Fitness for Women: Strength Training, Fat Loss Tips & Healthy Aging for Women over 40 in perimenopause & menopause

We're not 20 anymore.

Our bodies have been through LIFE, and that means that most of us have some area of our bodies that don't work quite so perfectly anymore.

😬 Maybe it's a cranky knee.

😬 Maybe you have arthritis in your joints.

😬 Or maybe you've got a recent injury.

Those do not need to stop you from lifting weights and keeping your body strong and fit.

In episode #72, I share what training with injuries and age-related wear-and-tear is like, and how you can modify your training to accommodate your limitations so you can keep lifting.
Enjoy the show!
