40+ Fitness: Weight training, fitness & weight loss tips for Women in perimenopause & menopause

Are you wondering how often you really need to train to build muscle and stay fit?
In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women, I break down the pros and cons of training two, three, or four days per week—so you can decide what fits best with your lifestyle and goals.

In this episode, I cover:

• The benefits of training at different frequencies
• How to effectively schedule each option into your week
• What extra results you can expect from training more frequently
• Why two days a week is more than enough to see progress

Whether you’re just getting started or are looking to fine-tune your routine, this episode will help you figure out how to balance your workouts with your busy life and still get results.
