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

Struggling to see results from your usual workout routines? Feeling frustrated with your body as you navigate perimenopause or menopause? You’re not alone!

In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I sit down with my client Brandon, a 46-year-old mom of two, who shares her inspiring journey from cardio queen to confident weightlifter.
Discover how she overcame her fears, embraced strength training, and transformed her fitness routine and her life.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to start weight training safely—even if you've never lifted before
• The importance of muscle mass and bone density for women over 40
• How to fit workouts into a busy schedule (because who has time for hours at the gym?)
• Real-life tips for overcoming gym intimidation and building confidence

Plus, Brandon reveals:

• Her biggest struggles and how she overcame them
• How focusing on strength instead of cardio changed her mindset and results
• Practical advice for busy moms and working women who feel like there's no time to work out
