@aaronburgessfitness: "I'll start when I have more energy" is the sentence I hear most on consult calls from women in their 40s and 50s. And every single time, the plan to wait has made them more tired, not less. Energy shows up after you start training, not before. Muscle makes your body better at using fuel. Most women sleep better within a few weeks of lifting. Sitting on the couch "saving energy" just tells your body it doesn't need much. If you think it's your thyroid or hormones, book the bloodwork. Seriously. But don't let a test you haven't booked be the reason you haven't lifted. Start with two 20-minute strength sessions this week. Calendar them. Go tired. Comment WORKOUT and I'll send you the exact two workouts to start with. #womenover40 #strengthtraining #fatlossforwomen #perimenopausefitness #toned
