@perimenopausefitness: Let’s clear up 5 common myths about strength training for women 40+: 1️⃣ You can’t “lengthen” muscles — posture, flexibility, and low inflammation create that long, lean look. 2️⃣ Lifting doesn’t make you bulky — too much volume can add size, not lifting weights. 3️⃣ Both light and heavy weights work when you train close to fatigue (and yes, heavier loads support bone health). 4️⃣ Cardio alone burns energy but breaks down muscle — strength + walking deliver long term fat loss. 5️⃣ Strength training doesn’t cause weight gain — muscle holds more water and glycogen, so the scale might rise while inches drop. We strength train 3x/week + you add daily steps. Free Trial in Bio! . . . #womenover40 #strengthtrainingworkouts #womenafter40 #dailysteps . .
