One of the biggest concerns women have about starting weight training is safety. Understandably, they don't want to get hurt when lifting heavy things.
In this episode, I discuss the things that you should keep in mind when getting started with weights when you are in midlife - even if you have been an active exerciser:
- Some exercises that I would avoid
- How to get your body used to this new form of exercise
- What to do about pre-existing injuries
