What kind of workout should women be doing in their 30s & 40s?
Short answer:
Strength training. Progressive overload. Building muscle on purpose.
Not “toning.”
Not endless cardio.
Not training to get smaller —
training to get stronger.
Why?
Because in your 30s and 40s your body starts to lose muscle naturally.
If you don’t actively build it, you lose it.
And muscle isn’t just about looks.
It’s your metabolism.
Your energy.
Your bone density.
Your confidence.
Your ability to move, lift, age well, and live pain-free.
Here’s what your training should focus on:
✅ Weight training 2-4x per week
✅ Lifting heavier over time (progressive overload)
✅ Compound movements: squats, deadlifts, pressing, rows
✅ Challenging weights — not pink dumbbells forever
✅ Prioritising form first, weight second
✅ Consistency over perfection
The goal?
Become stronger. Build lean muscle. Protect your body for the future.
You don’t slow down because you get older…
You slow down because you stop challenging your body.
Strong women don’t shrink themselves.
They build themselves.
