Strength at Every Stage: The Importance of Training For Every Age Group

Strength training isn’t just for athletes or the young—it’s one of the most powerful tools for health, confidence, and longevity at every age. In this episode, we break down how to approach training through the key phases of life, from youth and adolescence to adulthood, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

‍

You’ll learn:
✔️ The unique benefits of strength training in each life stage—from building bone density and confidence in teens to preserving muscle, metabolism, and independence in older adulthood
✔️ How hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause affect training—and how lifting can help
✔️ Why strength training is essential for mental health, joint support, and metabolic function across all age groups
✔️ Smart, sustainable strategies to adapt your training to your current phase of life—without burnout or overtraining
