Description
Are popular group fitness classes like BodyPump, F45, and Orangetheory really helping you build and maintain muscle as you age? 🤔Â
In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I’m diving into why these trendy workouts might not be the best choice for women in perimenopause and menopause who want to regain or maintain muscle. 💪
Tune in as I discuss:
- Why so many women (myself included) mistakenly believe these classes will 'take care of' our muscles
- The difference between training your muscles for endurance vs. strength
- How to adjust your fitness routine for more effective muscle-building results
- Why systematic strength training with progressive overload is key 🔑
- When and how these classes can still play a role in your fitness journey
If you’ve been putting in the effort but not seeing the results you want, this episode may provide some clues as to why.
