Women's Strength Training
Building muscle through strength training has so many benefits for women. It helps boost your metabolism, strengthen your bones (which can reduce the risk of osteoporosis), and support a healthy heart. It also helps keep blood sugar levels steady, improves balance and mobility, and even lifts your mood and confidence. On top of that, having more muscle helps your body burn more calories at rest, which supports healthy weight management. All of this adds up to greater independence, energy, and longevity – basically helping you feel strong, capable, and healthy every day.
My sessions are aimed at women that are looking to 'learn to lift' and are in the peri to post menopausal stages. This isn't toning muscles, but building strength. That said, we start off light allowing the tendons and ligaments to adapt and really refine technique focusing on compound moves which are deadlifts, squats and bench presses and adding a few accessories moves such as Bulgarian split squats, biceps curls, tricep presses using the 4 sets 8 reps strength building principles. You can't out train a bad diet so we will also make sure you are eating enough protein and healthy foods along the way. The plan is that you train with me once a week and then commit yourself to a home session 1 or 2 more times in that week. Plans will be adapted to what equipment you have at home.
