Don’t be afraid of building “too much muscle” over 40.
It’s not going to happen overnight. It takes effort and consistency. And if you want to “look toned”, guess what? Yep, gotta build some muscle.
Muscle mass is one of your greatest assets as you age.
Around 30, muscle mass begins to decline at a rate of 3-8% per decade if it’s not trained. Muscle loss (atrophy) is not cool.
(Side note: if you’re worried about your metabolism, you should absolutely be trying to build muscle and doing your cardio.)
The good news? You can do something about this and make improvements no matter what age you are!
Lift with high effort to challenge strength and muscle mass development.
It’s a BOTH kinda thing for many of the women I work with. Even if you do another sport. Even if you’re not terribly interested in either powerlifting or bodybuilding at the two opposite ends of the spectrum.
Start TRAINING. That means following an organized, well planned out, sustainable program (one that doesn’t make you start over if you miss a day 😒).
Stop trying to figure it out yourself. You have more important things to focus your energy on!
Let me check the boxes for you in Strong with Steph.
Doors will open again on Mon 4/21 for a new cycle.
