    #124: Do Men & Women Need to Strength Train Differently?
    Jun 24 2025

    One of my listeners recently asked whether men and women should strength train differently — and in this episode, I’m breaking down what you really need to know.

    We’re diving into what actually matters when it comes to building strength in midlife, and whether your workouts should look different from your son’s, your partner’s, or your younger self’s.

    You’ll hear:

    • What actually makes a program effective — regardless of gender
    • Why programming can look different from person to person
    • What to watch out for when training with men or younger family members
    • Why a program designed for women in midlife might be worth considering — even if the exercises aren’t different

    This episode is a reminder that strength training doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective.

  • #123: Bulking & Cutting - should you be doing it?

    #123: Bulking & Cutting - should you be doing it?
    Jun 17 2025

    Should you bulk to build muscle? And then go into a cut to get toned?

    These phrases are everywhere online — but are they actually helpful for women in midlife?

    In episode 123 of 40+ Fitness for Women, I explain what bulking and cutting are and explain why these bodybuilding tactics don't make sense for most women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

    I also touch on something that’s been bothering me — the subtle promotion of GLP-1 microdosing by fitness influencers who should know better.


    In this episode:

    • What bulking and cutting actually mean
    • Why “bulking” is probably going to leave you with results you don't like
    • What to do instead if your goal is muscle, strength, and long-term results
    • A quick word on GLP-1 micro dosing and online promotions that feel... off

    If you’re tired of complicated trends and just want clear guidance on what works, this episode will help you cut through the noise and stay focused on what matters.
