  • Summary

  • Are popular group fitness classes like BodyPump, F45, and Orangetheory really helping you build and maintain muscle as you age? 🤔

    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.
