In this episode of Healthy Beyond 40, Michele talks about strength training after 40, exercise for women over 40, building muscle, walking, workout intensity, recovery, and how to create a fitness routine you can actually stick with. You'll also hear why your workout should meet you where you are, why harder isn't always better, and how online personal training can make getting stronger simpler and more realistic. If you're looking for a simple workout routine for women over 40 that fits your life, this episode is for you.
