If you’re in midlife, you’ve probably heard that strength training is really important for your overall health. But figuring out what to do and how to get started can feel so daunting!

Listener Sherry had this same problem. And her question was so good, I thought it deserved a full-length episode:

“Hi, this is Sherry. I'm wondering where to start on a strength training program. I am 53 years old and I'm in fairly good shape, but not sure where to find a strength training program that I can find and take on the road with me that's short and convenient.”

If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation - knowing you need to start strength training, but having no idea how to get started - then this episode is for you!

This week we’ll discuss:

• why you should shift from cardio-focused workouts to strength-focused workouts
• the THREE key components of a good strength training routine
• TWO strength routines you can do TODAY, with or without equipment

If strength training has been on your radar, but you just didn’t know where to start, this episode will give you everything you need to get started TODAY.
