In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I dive into a topic I’m incredibly passionate about why menopausal women need to lift heavy weights.  If you’ve been frustrated by weight gain, softening muscles, or just feeling out of control in your body as you navigate perimenopause or menopause, this episode is for you. I know you might be thinking, "Lifting heavy weights at this age?  That can’t be right!"  But let me tell you, it’s crucial.  As our hormones change, so should our approach to fitness.  Cardio and running yourself ragged aren't enough anymore.  Strength training is the missing piece to boosting your metabolism, improving bone density, and even regaining the toned, strong body you once had. In this episode, I bust the myths that have held so many women back from getting the results they deserve.  Worried about getting bulky from lifting?  Don’t be.  It’s practically impossible for us to bulk up the way men do.  Think strength, confidence, and a body that feels as good as it looks. I also talk about the psychological benefits of weightlifting.  Menopause can be tough on your confidence, but nothing feels better than getting stronger every week.  I share stories from real women who have transformed their bodies and minds through lifting, and they started just like you – unsure of where to begin. This isn’t just about looking good (though that's a nice bonus!).  It’s about future-proofing your body for the years ahead.  In just a few sessions, you’ll feel the difference, not just in your muscles but in how you handle stress, anxiety, and everyday life. If you’ve been curious or hesitant about weightlifting, this episode will give you everything you need to get started.  So, what are you waiting for? Hit play, and let’s start lifting heavy – and living better! Facebook Group: Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopauseandweightlosscommunity
