Women over 40: muscle mass isn’t about getting “bulky.” It’s about staying strong, steady, and resilient as your body changes.
Why it matters:
☑️It counters the natural loss of lean tissue as we mature.
☑️IIt supports a healthier metabolism and reduces the risk of gradual weight gain.
☑️IIt reinforces bone strength and helps protect against osteoporosis.
And you don’t have to live in the gym to make this happen. You can lift at the gym if you enjoy it—but you can also do it at home with a few consistent lifestyle tweaks:
• 2–3 short strength sessions/week (bodyweight, bands, dumbbells—whatever you’ll actually do)
• Prioritize protein with meals
• Walk daily + add some “effort” (stairs, hills, brisk intervals)
• Sleep and recovery—muscle is built when you recover
Start small, stay consistent, and make strength part of how you care for yourself and ensure your plans for the next 20 years have a solid foundation.
