Strength training in midlife is essential. Strong body = strong muscles and bones.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need access to a gym full of equipment. Some dumbbells and your own bodyweight is more than enough to build your strength.
I’ve written a detailed guide: ‘Strength Training 101’
– all the info you need on what weights to chose, how often to train and where to start.
Get Started: Full body workouts (30 mins)
A great place to start if you’re new to using dumbbells or want to build confidence with your form and technique.
These workouts focus on the main foundational movement patterns to help you get stronger safely and effectively.
Move at your own pace, focus on control, and remember: good form always matters more than speed.
Upper Body Burn
These workouts focus on building strength through your upper body — helping improve posture, confidence and strength.
Lower body strength
These workouts are all about strong legs and glutes. The foundations of everyday strength and essential now and as you get older.
