ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are you sweating through group fitness classes week after week, pushing hard, but wondering why your body composition isn’t changing? If you're a woman over 50, you might be falling victim to one of the biggest marketing myths in the fitness industry: the "muscle confusion" trap.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why random workouts and endless variety are keeping you stuck, what your changing hormones actually need right now, and how to shift from working out harder to working out smarter.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The truth about "muscle confusion": Why your muscles don't need to be confused—they need clear, repeatable signals to adapt.
The Group Fitness Trap: Why constantly changing routines prevents the consistency needed for real physical change.
Progressive Overload Made Simple: How to track your foundational movements (squats, hinges, pushes, and pulls) so you can actually see and measure your progress.
Reps in Reserve (RIR): The foolproof way to gauge your effort, lift heavy enough safely, and avoid injury or burnout.
Ready to stop guessing and start building the lean muscle and strength you deserve? Tune in and let's get to work!
I offer personalized coaching plans delivered straight to your pocket via TrueCoach.
