#15: Maximizing your Fitness: Dispelling fitness myths & embracing mindset shifts
✨You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old! ✨
In this episode, I go over the SOOOO common misconceptions that perpetuate the fitness industry and which are really hindering 40+ women from keeping our bodies strong and young as we age.
I discuss 4 common myths (or maybe misinformation) that are still very much alive in the world of fitness and I suggest two mindset shifts that 40+ women need to make to maximize their fitness.
You'll get answers to questions like:
- Is lifting weights really an effective workout?
- What kind of workouts with weights are effective for building strength and muscle?
- How to get that 'toned' look?
- Is swapping workouts frequently effective?
In this episode, I refer to other episodes which can help you to understand the whole picture:
- episode #3: Tips for starting weight training in midlife
- episode #4: Muscles in midlife: a quick lesson in muscle biology
- episode #5: 5 Things you need to do to build muscle
