If you’ve ever thought, “I know strength training is good for me… but I’m scared I’ll hurt myself,” you’re not alone.
That hesitation isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s not a discipline issue.
And it’s definitely not because your body is “too fragile.”
Most of us were taught that strength training has to be:
• intense
• fast
• painful
• all-or-nothing
So of course it feels risky, especially if you live with chronic pain, old injuries, or a body that’s been judged instead of supported.
Your body doesn’t need to be pushed harder.
It needs an approach that respects where you’re starting now.
This month, I’m sharing a lot about what safe, supportive strength training for beginners over 40 actually looks like, because you deserve strength without fear.
