Doing them on your toes is a standard push-up. Doing it on your knees is a modified or knee push-up, not girl push-up, like we learned in school. It's real important to do resistance training in order to build muscle.
Picture this: you've hit 50, and you're feeling the effects of time on your body. But what if there was a way to reclaim some of that youthful strength? In this episode of 'A Woman in Recovery', Pam G dives into the world of resistance training specifically for women over 50. She sheds light on how menopause and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to muscle loss, but more importantly, how you can combat it with weights and bodyweight exercises.
Forget the myth that lifting weights will make you bulky. Pam G breaks down why resistance training is vital for building muscle and increasing bone density. And it’s not just about hitting the gym; she also talks about the importance of proper nutrition. Think protein-rich foods like legumes, beans, fish, chicken, and lean meat. Starting small is key—begin with wall push-ups before moving on to more challenging exercises. Consistency and dedication are your best friends here.
Pam G’s advice isn’t just empowering; it’s a call to action for women over 50 to prioritize their health and well-being. Tune in for practical tips and a dose of motivation.
